Previously the alpha was hardcoded to 0.7. Now it is possible to control
the cursor alpha by changing the alpha color of the cursor color
property. New alpha default is 0.9. This, with the new saturated colors,
should make the cursor more visible on highdpi screens.
I also removed the cache location preview as it is too visible right now
with the new alpha and color values.

The relation between the pressure/size and the pressure/alpha is a
fundamental property that defines the behavior of a brush, so it does
not make sense to have it unified across all brushes. This applies both
for sculpting and painting.
Some of the new 2.82 brushes need pressure/size or pressure/alpha to be
enabled to work propely, while others don't. Users should not be
switching on and off this property manually when changing brushes if they
want to use unified size. This is also causing that some users are using
the brushes with an incorrect configuration.

Extend options are currently stored per curve. This was not clearly

This change will move the option from `Curve` to `CurveMapping`. In
order to support this the API had to be changed.
BPY: CurveMap.evaluate is also moved to CurveMapping.evaluate what
breaks Python API. Cycles has been updated but other add-ons have
not. After release of 2.81 we can merge this to master and adapt

After adding normal radius, the main use of the Scrape brush is to create flat surfaces with sharp edges. In that case, it does not make sense to have our current "Peaks" version of the brush as its inverted version.
The correct inverted version of Scrape for this use case is the Fill brush. This way you can use this tool to crease both concave and convex sharp edges and to fix the artifacts one version produces with its inverted version.
I think we should merge these two tools into one, but for now, this solution keeps compatibility with the old behavior.

This commit implements the Topology Slide/Relax brush and the Relax mesh filter.
These tools are designed to move the topology on top of the mesh without affecting the volume.
The Topology Slide/Relax brush slides the topology of the mesh in the direction of the stroke. When pressing shift, it has an alternative smooth mode similar to the Relax Brush in the sculpt branch. It should be way more stable and produce fewer artifacts.

The smooth iterations of the pose factor were hardcoded to 4. This works fine in most situations when you are posing a low poly mesh, which is the main use case of this tool. I added the smooth iterations as a brush property in case you need to pose a high poly mesh directly without producing artifacts.

The Multiplane Scrape brush creates sharp edges with a given fixed angle by trimming the mesh with two planes in local space at the same time. When working with stylized or hard surface models, this brush produces way better results and is more predictable than any other crease/flatten brush based on curves and alphas.
It is also the first brush we have than can produce hard surface concave creases.
The Multiplane Scrape Brush also has a dynamic mode where it samples the surface to fit the angle and scrape planes during a stroke. With this mode enabled you can sculpt multiple times over the same edge without creating artifacts.
It can also create creases that change between concave and convex during the same stroke.
The behavior of this brush will improve after merging patches like D5993 and its behavior in concave creases can still be improved, so I will keep tweaking its parameters and default values once we have all brush properties available.

By squaring the pen pressure and disabling BRUSH_SPACE_ATTEN the brush
feels like it has a bigger strength range, wich makes it easier to
control when applying less pressure in order to smooth sculpted
surfaces.
Each brush should have a custom input pressure curve by default to get
an optimal behaviour and make all brushes consistent, but that is going
to take some time to get it right.

This only frees brush_rng and random_tex_array when they were actually
previously allocated.
In a unit test (see D6246) I want to be able to partially start Blender
so that I can load a blend file. To prevent memory leaks, I also want to
be able to release memory, which currently requires calling
`BKE_blender_free()`. This unconditionally calls `RE_texture_rng_exit()`
and `BKE_brush_system_exit()`, which now crash on freeing `NULL`. This
patch fixes that.
Allocation (`BKE_brush_system_init()`) and freeing
(`BKE_brush_system_exit()`) are done asymmetrically. The allocation
functions are called from `main()` in the creator module, but the
freeing is done by `BKE_blender_free()` the Window Manager. Ideally we
symmetrise this and initialise Blender from outside the window manager
(so that the initialisation can be done without WM and Python too), but
for now I'm happy when things don't crash.

The previous default was 1.7, so the brush was more stable on surface
normal changes, but softer. I don't think users expect this brush to be
that stable, so by using 1.55 we make the brush a little bit stronger on
curved surfaces by default.

This commit introduces the following changes:
- Invert the direction of the brush strength WM control. It was working in the opposite direction to any other control in Blender. Now dragging to the right increases the strength.
- Increase the alpha of the cursor
- Remove the font shadow of the numbers in the WM control. It was adding too much visual noise when rendered on top of the brush alpha
- Add a second circle to preview the strength in the cursor
- Increase the resolution of the cursor circles. Now they look smooth even when working with large brush sizes.
- Add a line preview to display the brush curve

This commit includes the new brush cursor, active vertex updates and the normal radius brush property for all sculpt brushes.
-The new brush cursor previews the real stroke radius over the mesh and the sampled sculpt normal.
-The active vertex is used in sculpt tools and brushes as a starting point for an operation, similar to a preselection. It is also mirrored following the enabled symmetry options to preview the stroke symmetry.
-The normal radius brush property limits the radius that is going to be used to sample the sculpt normal and area center. It controls how closely the cursor follows the surface and it improves the behavior of most brushes, making them suitable for hard surface sculpting.

This patch introduces the same presets that are used for proportional editing in the brush falloff menu. The user can select any of these presets or use the regular custom falloff curve. The presets are hardcoded formulas, so the falloff curve is not used when they are active.
This change improves the general feeling of the brushes and it is more convenient and simpler to use. The CUSTOM curve option should now be used in the case that an unusual deformation is needed, in other cases, the hardcoded curve presets should be the default.
The smooth curve presets is a must in the grab brush, as it fixes the deformation issue with the current custom curve setting. The user may try to adjust the deformation by tweaking the curve, but it is nearly impossible to replicate this desired behavior.

Other brushes that are included in the sculpt branch also rely on this as they need specific hardcoded falloffs to produce the desired effect.

This commit adds support for drawing Dots strokes with a gradient factor to get artistic effects like watercolor.

Also, added the option to align Dots and Boxes strokes textures aligned with the drawing path to get more fluid strokes.
Using GP_BRUSH_MATERIAL_PINNED to switch between active material and brush material, instead of updating all brushes on active material changes. This will allow brushes to have no material and therefore to not inflate the user count.

This commit groups several options that were tested in grease pencil branch:
- Changes to fill algorithms and improves, specially in small areas and stroke corners.
New options has been added in order to define how the fill is working and internally there are optimizations in detect the small areas in the extremes.
Kudos to @charlie for coding this fill improvements.
- New 3D cursor view plane option.
Now it's possible to lock the drawing plane to the 3D cursor and use the 3D cursor orientation. This allows more flexibility when you are drawing and reduce the need to create geometry to draw over surfaces.
- Canvas Grid now can be locked to 3D cursor.
- New option to reproject stroke using 3D cursor.
