Solves long-standing issue when dependencies of disabled modifiers are
evaluated.
Simple test case: no drivers or animation. Manually enabling modifier
is expected to bring FPS up, enabling modifier will bring FPS (sine
evaluation can not be avoided)

More complex test case: modifier visibility is driven by an animated
property. In am ideal world FPS during property being zero is fast
and when property is 1 the FPS is low.

A mistake in the 0dcee6a386 which made specific driven visibility
to work, but did not properly handle actual time-based visibility.
The basic idea of the change is to preserve recalculation flags of
nodes which were tagged for update but were not evaluated due to
visibility constraints. In the file from the report this makes it
so tagging which is done first time ID is in the dependency graph
are handled when the ID actually becomes visible. This is what
solved the root of the problem from the report: there was missing
geometry update since it was "swallowed" by the evaluation during
the object being invisible. In other configurations this change
allows to handle pending geometry updates due to animated modifiers
be handled when object becomes visible without time change.
This change also solves visibility issue of the synchronization
component which also started to be handled badly since the
previous fix attempt. Basically, the needed exception in its
visibility handling did not happen and a regular logic was used
for it.
Tested with files from the T99733, T99976, and from the Heist
project.

The issue was caused by the fact that objects with driven or animated
visibility were considered visible by the dependency graph evaluation.
This change makes it so the dependency graph evaluation is aware of
visibility which might be changing. This is achieved by evaluating the
path of the graph which affects objects visibility and adjusts to it
before evaluating the rest of the graph.
There is some time penalty to this, but there does not seem to be a
way to fully avoid this penalty.
With the production shot from the heist project the FPS drops by a
tenth of a frame (~9.4 vs ~9.3 fps) when adding a driver to an object
which keeps it visible. Note that this is a bit hard to measure since
the FPS fluctuates quite a bit throughout the playback. On the other
hand, having a driver on a visibility of a heavy object from character
and setting visibility to false gives big speedup.
Also worth noting that there is no penalty at all when there are no
animated visibilities in the scene.

The goal is to make it possible to evaluate the graph in multiple
passes without evaluating the same node multiple times.
Currently should not be any functional changes.
Not sure why multiple pools were created: the pool should be able to
handle two sets of tasks.
Perhaps non-measurable improvement in terms of performance but this
change simplifies code a bit.

Not sure why this bug was only discovered by such an elaborate steps
and why it took so long to be discovered. The root of the issue is
that in the 956c539e59 the typical flow of tag+flush+evaluate was
violated and tagging for visibility change happened after flush.
Evaluating the dependency graph potentially executes Python code when
evaluating drivers. In specific situations (see T91046) this could
deadlock Blender entirely. Temporarily releasing the GIL when evaluating
the depsgraph resolves this.

After looking into task isolation issues with Sergey, we couldn't find the
reason behind the deadlocks that we are getting in T87938 and a Sprite Fright
file involving motion blur renders.
There is no apparent place where we adding or waiting on tasks in a task group
from different isolation regions, which is what is known to cause problems. Yet
it still hangs. Either we do not understand some limitation of TBB isolation,
or there is a bug in TBB, but we could not figure it out.
Instead the idea is to use isolation only where we know we need it: when
holding a mutex lock and then doing some multithreaded operation within that
locked region. Three places where we do this now:
* Generated images
* Cached BVH tree building
* OpenVDB lazy grid loading
Compared to the more automatic approach previously used, there is the downside
that it is easy to miss places where we need isolation. Yet doing it more
automatically is also causing unexpected issue and bugs that we found no
solution for, so this seems better.
Patch implemented by Sergey and me.

Under some circumstances using task isolation can cause deadlocks.
Previously, our task pool implementation would run all tasks in an
isolated region. Now using task isolation is optional and can be
turned on/off for individual task pools.
Task pools that spawn new tasks recursively should never enable
task isolation. There is a new check that finds these cases at runtime.
Right now this check is disabled, so that this commit is a pure refactor.
It will be enabled in an upcoming commit.
This fixes T88598.

This patch enables TBB as the default task scheduler. TBB stands for Threading Building Blocks and is developed by Intel. The library contains several threading patters. This patch maps blenders BLI_task_* function to their counterpart. After this patch we can add more patterns. A promising one is TBB:graph that can be used for depsgraph, draw manager and compositor.
Performance changes depends on the actual hardware. It was tested on different hardwares from laptops to workstations and we didn't detected any downgrade of the performance.

Was happening when having compositor open with Viewer node attached
directly to Render Layers output.
There were two things involved here:
1. The code which was storing CoW-ed versions of IDs was checking all
IDs for whether they are expanded or not. This was causing access
of freed memory for deleted IDs which do not need CoW (such as IM).
Simple fix: store ID type as a scalar and use early check before
doing more elaborate check based on accessing fields of id_cow.
2. The code which was ensuring view layer pointer is doing CoW for
scene. This isn't an issue on its own, but scene might have an
embedded ID such as compositor which was actually traversed by the
ID remap routines. This was causing remapping procedure to go into
non-updated copy of compositor, accessing freed Viewer image ID.
Solved by not recursing into embedded IDs for datablocks as those
are supposed to have own copy-on-write operations which takes care
of re-mapping.
Reported my Bastien, and also pair-coded with him.
The FPS here is measured based on a timestamp from when depsgraph
was previously evaluated.
Allows to ease investigating performance improvements/regressions
which are not related on animation system but on modifications on
a single frame (such as transforming vertex in edit mode).
This commit restores old metaball workaround which was forcing their
update from a single thread.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that metaball evaluation needs
to access metaballs from duplilists, so they are properly polygonized
with corresponding motherball which is outside of duplilist.
In a more ideal world this will be implemented in a way that will not
require iterating over all duplilists, but only through the ones which
actually contain metaballs for the given motherball. In practice this
ends up in a huge refactor in both relations builder (which meeds to
see whether there are metaballs in duplilists without actually
creating duplilist as it can not be done prior scene is evaluated)
and in metaballs area which need to use new relations information.
Additionally, metaball evaluation must become thread-safe, which is
currently not a case with dupli-object matrices. There might be issues
deeper in polygonization code which I am not aware of.
Having this forced single-thread evaluation is same as Blender 2.79
was doing.
Think it's better to have slower but simpler solution than to invest
time in refactoring area which requires deeper design changes.

Found this while looking into T70463, solves the high spinning times
mentioned in T70463#791026.
Sounds logical that iterating over an array to modify a single property
is faster than doing it in threads. But strangely, doing it for both
nodes and its components is still faster in threads here.
Gives extra speedup with a file mentioned in the report.
