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 removes a lot of unnecessary code that is generated by
the compiler automatically.
In very few cases, a defaulted destructor in a .cc file is
still necessary, because of forward declarations in the header.
I removed some defaulted virtual destructors, because they are not
necessary, when the parent class has a virtual destructor already.
Defaulted constructors are only necessary when there is another
constructor, but the class should still be default constructible.

* USD and OpenVDB headers use deprecated TBB headers, suppress all deprecation
warnings there since we have no control over them.
* For our own TBB includes, use the individual headers rather than the tbb.h that
includes everything to avoid warnings, rather than suppressing all.
This is in anticipation of the TBB 2020 upgrade in D10359. Ref D10361.
* tbb::blocked_range moved to a different namespace and since the fix is
non-trivial, remove some unused code that used this.
* Task group priorities are no longer supported. It's unclear if they are
useful at all right now and even set correctly, for now all tasks are equal
priority with TBB 2021.
Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
In some cases blender could freeze. When threads are blocked (waiting for other tasks completion) the scheduler can let the thread perform a different task. If this task wants a write-lock for something that was read-locked in the stack a dead lock will happen.
For task pools every task is isolated. For range tasks the inner loop will be isolated. The implementation is limited as isolation in TBB uses functors which are tricky to add to a C API. We decided to start with a simple and adapt were we need to.
During testing we came to this setup as it was reliable (we weren't able to let it freeze or crash) and didn't had noticeable performance impact.

Background task pools would not restart threads if reused multiple times,
thanks to Jeroen for identifying the cause of this problem.

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.
