Modifier stack evaluation would copy mesh settings other than mesh topology
automatically, outside of the individual modifier evaluation. This leads to hard
to understand code, and makes it unclear which settings are available in following
modifiers, and which only after the entire stack is evaluated.
Now every modifier is responsible to ensure the mesh it outputs preserves materials,
texture space and other settings, or alters them as needed.

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 general idea of this change is to have a runtime data pointer
in the ModifierData, so it can be preserved through copy-on-write
updates by the dependency graph.
This is where subdivision surface modifier can store its topology
cache, so it is not getting trashed on every copy-on-write which
is happening when moving a vertex.
Similar mechanism should be used by multiresolution, dynamic paint
and some other modifiers which cache evaluated data.
This fixes T61746.
Thing to keep in mind, that there are more reports about slow
subdivision surface in the tracker, but that boils down to the
fact that those have a lot of extraordinary vertices, and hence
a lot slower to evaluated topology.
Other thing is, this speeds up oeprations which doesn't change
topology (i.e. moving vertices).

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).

BLI should always comes first, before DNA, BKE etc. And
`BLI_utildefines.h` should come before any other BLI (since it's some
sort of system include really, among other things...).
Thisi should help to reduce the noise in patches when adding stuff
like uint64_t members to DNA structs... ;)
There is an issue of hair being completely messed up when
switching to a simulation view layer for Autumn.
Restoring back the code which was re-setting particles on
file load. This will re-set unbacked particles on file load
but this appears to be happening in 2.7 as well.
Can not reproduce bugs which were fixed in this area recently,
so maybe it's finally tackled (fingers crossed!).
Fix T61289: Emitting particles from instances not working properly
The first issue has been re-introduced by a code which was dealing
with missing hair after opening the file. That was re-setting all
particle systems all the time because modifier flags were not copied
back to original. This made every modifier run to be seem as an
initial file open.
Now we copy flags back to an original modifier. But also we are
trying to not do any resets unless needed in that case. This way
we can preserve in-memory caches.
Other part of the change is related on re-setting particle system
if number of mesh elements changed. But we only do it if the
modifier has been already evaluated once.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

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.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
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.
The contents of the ModifierEvalContext struct are constant while iterating
over the modifier stack. The struct thus should be only created once, outside
any loop over the modifiers.
Makes the follow changes:
- Add new `deform*` and `apply*` function pointers to `ModifierTypeInfo` that take `Mesh`, and rename the old functions to indicate that they take `DerivedMesh`. These new functions are currently set to `NULL` for all modifiers.
- Add wrapper `modifier_deform*` and `modifier_apply*` functions in two variants: one that works with `Mesh` and the other which works with `DerivedMesh` that is named with `*_DM_depercated`. These functions check which type of data the modifier supports and converts if necessary
- Update the rest of Blender to be aware and make use of these new functions
The goal of these changes is to make it possible to port to using `Mesh` incrementally without ever needing to enter into a state where modifiers don't work. After everything has been ported over the old functions and wrappers could be removed.

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.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
Replaces `G.is_rendering` with `use_render_params` argument.
This is needed for Cycles, which attempts to restore render-preview settings from particles,
after it gets its own particle data, but fails to restore because
`G.is_rendering` was being checked in psys_cache_paths (and other places).
