As correctly pointed out by a comment in the code, adding
new springs wasn't thread safe, and caused crashes.
Fix by buffering new springs in intermediate thread-local
arrays, which are flushed on the main thread. This is valid
because the new springs are not used until the next sim step.

This reverts commit 36faf739a7.
Somewhat annoying but this change had some unforeseen consequences,
which lead to an actual bug.
Since this change was not sufficient to get original report fixed
is easier to simply revert for now.
Fixes T65842: Hair disappears when clicking on particle system name
Allows it to be preserved during copy-on-write update when on-geometry
related update is needed.
This is a required part for T63537, where we need to preserve the entire
evaluation data when object is tagged for only RECALC_COPY_ON_WRITE.

The billboard particles were only used by Blender Internal. So until it is
supported by Cycles of Eevee there is no reason to keep it in the code and
UI.
Fix T61695 Billboard particles not displaying in Eevee viewport, render
We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

There were two problems:
1. `mesh_get_eval_final` has to be called with the evaluated object.
2. Particle systems have to have unique names within an object.
The depsgraph seems to use the particle system name as identifier.
This issue is actually independent of duplication.
The old code used a small hack to create unique names.

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
The issue was caused by dependency graph resetting particles
when evaluating copy-on-write version of object. Solved by
only doing reset from dependency graph on user edits.
Other issue was caused by modifier itself trying to compare
topology and reset particles when number of vertices or faces
changed. This isn't reliable, since topology might change even
with same number of elements. But also, since copy-on-written
object initially always have those fields zero-ed the reset
was happening on every F12.
The latter issue is solved by moving reset from modifier stack
to places where we exit edit/paint modes which might be changing
topology.
There is still weird issue of particles generated at some
weird location after tapping tab twice, but this is not a new
issue in 2.8 branch and is to be looked separately.
Needed to port operator to use evaluated particle system.
But also changed interface to always show Convert button when
draw type is set to Path (Hair particle system is forced to
be draws as path). This avoid rather expensive lookup on every
redraw, but will show Convert button for un-baked particle
emitter.
Probably, an acceptable compromise.
Textures are now hooked up to the RESET operation of particle
settings, which ensures particles being re-distributed when
texture is changed.
This is limited to a direct user modifications, which matches
old behavior in 2.79.
There is now a manual refresh button on the panel to update the list
of objects in case it changes, and it also gets refreshed when changing
the collection or toggling the use count option.
This is a bit more manual but the previous code of refreshing the
list while evaluating the depsgraph was unreliable.
This also fixes it to take properly take into account visibility, and
to work with linked collections for which index writing was missing.
Makes ADD brush to work.
At some point children particles draw got broken, children are not
visible for until first stroke is done. Still looking into it.
The problem was that the particle system modifier was reading ob->derivedDeform
during modifier stack evaluation. Due to the mesh -> DM conversion this was no
longer set leading to wrong results.
In fact we don't really need the deformed mesh, just the original mesh topology
for face/poly index remapping. So the solution is to use that instead.
There are a few places where DerivedMesh is still used, most notably
when calling the (not yet ported) cloth simulation. There is also still
the use of Object.derivedDeform and Object.derivedFinal. Those places are
marked with a TODO.
Some functions in the editors module were copied to accept Mesh. Those
already had 'mesh' in the name; the copies are suffixed with '__real_mesh'
for easy renaming later when the DM-based functionality is removed.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

For correct results these must have been set already when the depsgraph was
created and evaluated, so all dependencies have appropriate resolutions too.
For particle we no longer backup and restore the viewport particles to avoid
overwriting them during render, as copy-on-write solves this for us. Even
without COW particles seem to work ok.
This also removes the particle simplification options based on camera. This
was never used much and only available in Blender Internal.

Use more generic id->recalc flag.
Also sanitize flag flush from settings to particle system.
Need to do such flush before triggering point cache reset, since
point cache reset will do some logic based on what flags are set.
This will solve crash caused by threaded update which will set
some bitflags while point cache reset is in progress.
The idea is to give a control over direction of twist, and maybe amount of
twist as well. More concrete example: make braids on left and right side of
character head to be twisting opposite directions.
Now, tricky part: we need some negative values to flip direction, but weights
can not be negative. So we use same trick as displacement map and tangent normal
maps, where 0.5 is neutral, values below 0.5 are considered negative and values
above 0.5 are considered positive.
It allows to have children hair to be twisted around parent curve, which is
quite an essential feature when creating hair braids.
There are currently two controls:
- Number of turns around parent children.
- Influence curve, which allows to modify "twistness" along the strand.
