This introduces `BKE_mesh_to_bmesh_ex()`, which exposes all of the
`BMeshFromMeshParams` parameters to the caller. This is required to enable
the `calc_face_normal` flag, which is required for the Bevel modifier.
This also introduces `BKE_bmesh_to_mesh()`, which allocates a new `Mesh`,
converts the `BMesh` to it, and returns it. The returned mesh is owned by
the caller.
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.
This commit introduces `EditMeshData`. The fields in this struct are
extracted from `EditDerivedBMesh` into their own struct `EditMeshData`,
which can then also be used by the `Mesh` struct. This allows passing
deformed vertices efficiently to the draw routines.
The modifier code constructs a new Mesh instead of writing to ob->data;
even when ob->data is a CoW copy, it can still be used by different
objects and thus shouldn't be modified by a modifier.
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.

Actions shouldn't be copying by new library management code.
Or at least should be possible to make it to not copy actions
or do unneeded user management.
This way we avoid modification of original data which could
and does cause threading conflict with copy-on-write which
could be happening for viewport.
Skip access to any evaluated data when operator is run on file load,
we don't have depsgraph evaluated yet. In this case we skip part of
sculpt session initialization, since it will be done during depsgraph
evaluation which happens after DEG_on_visible_update().
We can not skip sculpt session initialization since during normal
operation we want all the data to be initialized on mode change,
and not on initial brush stroke.
This commit does two things:
- Adds an option to do the calculation in different color spaces (BT601
or BT709).
- Changes the default caluclation from legacy BT601 to BT709.
This affects several areas:
- UI areas (mainly scopes)
- ViewLevelsNode
- Several other nodes that use `COM_ConvertOperation.h`
For Blender 2.8 we had to be compatible with very old OpenGL versions, and
triple buffer was designed to work without offscreen rendering, by copying
the the backbuffer to a texture right before swapping. This way we could
avoid redrawing unchanged regions by copying them from this texture on the
next redraws. Triple buffer used to suffer from poor performance and driver
bugs on specific cards, so alternative draw methods remained available.
Now that we require newer OpenGL, we can have just a single draw method
that draw each region into an offscreen buffer, and then draws those to
the screen. This has some advantages:
* Poor 3D view performance when using Region Overlap should be solved now,
since we can also cache overlapping regions in offscreen buffers.
* Page flip, anaglyph and interlace stereo drawing can be a little faster
by avoiding a copy to an intermediate texture.
* The new 3D view drawing already writes to an offscreen buffer, which we
can draw from directly instead of duplicating it to another buffer.
* Eventually we will be able to remove depth and stencil buffers from the
window and save memory, though at the moment there are still some tools
using it so it's not possible yet.
* This also fixes a bug with Eevee sampling not progressing with stereo
drawing in the 3D viewport.

The issue was that every object tweak was doing a full copy
of original datablock onto evaluated version, and was updating
animation. This made it impossible to tweak properties which
has keyframes.
Proposed solution is to:
- Always apply animation on frame change, and when object
is explicitly tagged for animation update.
This will store original DNA value of animated property
in the f-curve.
- When applying animation in other cases, we check original
DNA value stored in f-curve with the actual original DNA
property. If they differ, it means user started to tweak
animated property, and we should skip animation.
If the value is the same, we apply animation.
This is just a first step towards proper final implementation,
but seems to be the direction we want to take.
Both the scene and workspace had an active view layer, and it was confusing
which settings were being used or displayed where. Now we always have one,
so there is no mismatch.
The "View Layers" tab in the properties editor is now "View Layer", no longer
showing a list of layers. Instead view layers can be added and removed with
the workspace view layer selector. They are also listed and selectable in the
outliner.
Single layer rendering uses the active view layer from the workspace.
This fixes bugs where the wrong active view layer was used, but more places
remain that are wrong and are now using the first view layer in the scene.
These are all marked with BKE_view_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER.
Use render settings and active view layer will be handled elsewhere.
Also change icon to not be confusing with render layers.
Probably we should get rid of the workspace tab entirely and do it in
the user preferences, but that's for later.
This caused too much trouble, also it's possible users run with
'release' in their CWD causing issues.
Developers can symlink "release/" to "bin/2.79".
There were two issues here actually:
* The hack to allow running Blender directly from the source directory
would just check for a 'release' directory, without actually ensuring it
is release dir from blender source tree, and not some other random
folder.
* GHOST_getSystemDir returns nothing for portable installations, now
we'll then check directly in the blender binary dir in that case.
This fix is more critical in 2.8 branch, where that system path is used
to retrieve new '3D' icons...
This commit removes all references to the old timeline editor.
Unfortuantely, the removal of the Timeline spacetype defining
functions has ended up breaking the version patching code I'd
been working on earlier (as now, the editor gets marked as
"unknown/info" before we get a chance to patch it!)
== Main Features/Changes for Users
* Add horizontal bar at top of all non-temp windows, consisting out of two horizontal sub-bars.
* Upper sub-bar contains global menus (File, Render, etc.), tabs for workspaces and scene selector.
* Lower sub-bar contains object mode selector, screen-layout and render-layer selector. Later operator and/or tool settings will be placed here.
* Individual sections of the topbar are individually scrollable.
* Workspace tabs can be double- or ctrl-clicked for renaming and contain 'x' icon for deleting.
* Top-bar should scale nicely with DPI.
* The lower half of the top-bar can be hided by dragging the lower top-bar edge up. Better hiding options are planned (e.g. hide in fullscreen modes).
* Info editors at the top of the window and using the full window width with be replaced by the top-bar.
* In fullscreen modes, no more info editor is added on top, the top-bar replaces it.
== Technical Features/Changes
* Adds initial support for global areas
A global area is part of the window, not part of the regular screen-layout.
I've added a macro iterator to iterate over both, global and screen-layout level areas. When iterating over areas, from now on developers should always consider if they have to include global areas.
* Adds a TOPBAR editor type
The editor type is hidden in the UI editor type menu.
* Adds a variation of the ID template to display IDs as tab buttons (template_ID_tabs in BPY)
* Does various changes to RNA button creation code to improve their appearance in the horizontal top-bar.
* Adds support for dynamically sized regions. That is, regions that scale automatically to the layout bounds.
The code for this is currently a big hack (it's based on drawing the UI multiple times). This should definitely be improved.
* Adds a template for displaying operator properties optimized for the top-bar. This will probably change a lot still and is in fact disabled in code.
Since the final top-bar design depends a lot on other 2.8 designs (mainly tool-system and workspaces), we decided to not show the operator or tool settings in the top-bar for now. That means most of the lower sub-bar is empty for the time being.
NOTE: Top-bar or global area data is not written to files or SDNA. They are simply added to the window when opening Blender or reading a file. This allows us doing changes to the top-bar without having to care for compatibility.
== ToDo's
It's a bit hard to predict all the ToDo's here are the known main ones:
* Add options for the new active-tool system and for operator redo to the topbar.
* Automatically hide the top-bar in fullscreen modes.
* General visual polish.
* Top-bar drag & drop support (WIP in temp-tab_drag_drop).
* Improve dynamic regions (should also fix some layout glitches).
* Make internal terminology consistent.
* Enable topbar file writing once design is more advanced.
* Address TODO's and XXX's in code :)
Thanks @brecht for the review! And @sergey for the complaining ;)

use stack instead of always allocating memory for RNA paths of checked
properties! From average 167ms to 118ms here with Autumn rig... Still a
lot to improve, but that's already much better.
