This was wrong and violating design to force modifiers to query
evaluated objects and IDs. It is up to the caller to make sure
the object is properly evaluatable.
Effectively, reverting changes from de491abf99 (and possibly
other related changes).
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... ;)
This is what modifiers are to use to indicate that they depend
on a transformation of the object itself.
Currently should be no functional changes, but in the future
this will allow to easily change transform operation depending
on whether there is a simulation associated with the object.
`BKE_modifier_get_evaluated_mesh_from_evaluated_object()` used by
modifiers needing access to other objects' geometry probably skipped out
of the radar when cage and final evaluated meshes were added to
BMEditMesh? In any case, we do not need to duplicate (and then free!) a
temp mesh from editdata anymore, and we can even add instead a parameter
to get cage instead of final. Also makes modifiers code a bit simpler.
Also update relations when modifier texture changes.
Basically same as rB6e00415a85a9, rBca2680aaeb1 but this time for
VertexWeight modifiers

Fix T58237: Exporters: Curve Modifier not applied when "apply modifiers" are selected.
Fix T58856: Python: "to_mesh" broken in 2.8.
...And many other cases... ;)
Thing is, we need target IDs to always be evaluated ones (at least I
cannot see any case where having orig ones is desired effect here).
Depsgraph/Cow system ensures us that when modifiers are evaluated by it,
but they can also be called outside of this context, e.g. when doing
binding, or object conversion...
So we need to ensure in modifiers code that we actually are always
working with eval data for those targets.
Note that I did not touch to physics modifiers, those are a bit touchy
and rather not 'fix' something there until proven broken!
When a modifier depends on some other object's position, then it also
depends in its own position, this has to be also told to depsgraph.
Fixes several modifiers where moving target would update the modifier,
while moving modified object itself would not.
Modifiers stack only get COW/evaluated IDs, so no need to go auery again
DEG for those. Further more, now unified handling of EditBMesh case (was
done on case-by-case basis in a few modifiers, not all for some reason).
We are still missing the ability to get final and cage deformed meshes
when in Edit mode though, this is to be defined/implemented in depsgraph.
This fix applying the following modifiers:
* Boolean (working already)
* Array
* Mesh Deform
* Surface Deform
* Vertex Weight Proximity
This function was to return evaluated mesh. So it should get the evaluated
object at all times. So in this case it makes more sense to simply pass the
depsgraph (or in this case the ModifierEvalContext that contains both the
depsgraph and the flag.
Solution discussed with Bastien Montagne.
Some notes here:
* Proximity with non-mesh objects (like curve, see TEST_2 scene in
weightvg testfile) are not working currently. This is known TODO of COW
depsgraph project.
* Proximity modifier is slower, due to some other TODO pending on
BVHTree creation/caching for Mesh.
