Steps to reproduce:
- switch to Scripting workspace
- execute bpy.data.meshes['Cube'].copy()
- Outliner will not show the new mesh immediately
Now just send appropriate notifier.

Currently it is not possible to edit bare IDProperty pointer
values which are not explicitly defined through python via
UI fields. This is likely mostly because, unlike numeric values,
pointers aren't marked PROP_EDITABLE by default. However there
are also some bugs in the RNA code that need fixing.
The Geometry Nodes modifier uses bare properties to store
input settings for the node group it wraps, so supporting
Object and Collection sockets requires editable pointers.
This patch marks bare IDProperties editable, and ensures
that changing ID pointers rebuilds the dependency graph.
A type check is needed because an IDPROPERTY PointerPropertyRNA
can actually wrap a group value rather than an ID pointer.
Making pointers editable is not likely to accidentally
affect UI fields that were not intended to be editable,
because a simple `layout.prop` cannot determine which
datablocks to display in the menu and remains read-only.
The PROP_NEVER_UNLINK flag is also removed: it seems it
was added because the edit field that couldn't produce
a menu to set the pointer used to still display the unlink
button, but that seems not to be the case anymore.
Actual support for Object & Collection inputs in the modifier
is added in D10056, which can be used to test this code.

Asset metadata is what turns a regular data-block into an asset. It is a small
data-structure, but a key part of the technical design of the asset system.
The design foresees that asset data-blocks store an `ID.asset_data` pointer of
type `AssetMetaData`. This data **must not** have dependencies on other
data-blocks or data-block data, it must be an independent unit. That way we can
read asset-metadata from .blends without reading anything else from the file.
The Asset Browser will use this metadata (together with the data-block name,
preview and file path) to represent assets in the file list.
Includes:
* New `ID.asset_data` for asset metadata.
* Asset tags, description and custom properties.
* BKE code to manage asset meta-data and asset tags.
* Code to read asset data from files, without reading IDs.
* RNA for asset metadata (including tags)
Part of the first Asset Browser milestone. Check the #asset_browser_milestone_1
project milestone on developer.blender.org.

The geometry-nodes features no longer depend on the point cloud object.
Therefore the point cloud object, although important in the future, can
be postponed until we have render and edit mode fully working.

Those two features are not directly related and one might be activated
in master earlier than the other.
WITH_PARTICLE_NODES was removed, because we continue the project
under the name "Geometry Nodes".
For 2.90 release this should not be exposed in the RNA API.
In master this needs to be ON by default, that's all.

This replaces the cmake options `WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES` and
`WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE` with two experimental userpref settings:
* `use_new_particle_system`: Enables the point cloud type and the simulation editor.
* `use_new_hair_type`: Only displays the add-operator in the add menu for now.
Note, in the current state you can't do anything productive with the new particle
system or the new hair type. Features will be added step by step in the upcoming

Accessing this from RNA may actually create some data, which we do not
want to happen when comparing data. Further more, preview is not data,
but a view of it, so we should be safe ignoring it entirely here.
Now all overrides are handled that way. Performances of the process look
decent enough, even with production characters...
If performance issues still arise, we'll investigate other solutions.
This should also make T73154 obsolete now.
Local datablocks (including overrides) need to have a unique name, which
can then differ from the reference linked one (especially when there are
several local overrides of a same linked data).
Issue is, ID name is a 'rna name property', and as such used as
reference when dealing with override of collections of IDs, so we cannot
have a changing name.
The solution implemented here should work and is simple, but it may have
some issues in corner cases (time will say), it is not really robust.
Alternative solution would be to store ID pointers as reference in
override operations, instead of there name. But that would potentially
add quiet a lot of overhead to foreach looping in `lib_query.c`.
This data block will be the container for simulation node trees.
It will be used for the new particle node system (T73324).
The new data block has the type `ID_SIM`.
It is not visible to users and other developers by default yet.
To enable it, activate the cmake option `WITH_NEW_SIMULATION_TYPE`.
New simulation data blocks can be created by running `bpy.data.simulations.new("name")`.

The `BKE_animsys.h` and `anim_sys.c` files already had a an "AnimData
API" section. The code in that section has now been split off, and
placed into `BKE_anim_data.h` and `anim_data.c`.
All files that used to include `BKE_animsys.h` have been adjusted to
only include the animation headers they need (sometimes none).
No functional changes.
- Use 'BKE_object_material_*', 'BKE_id_material_*' prefix
for functions that operate on Object and ID types.
- Use '_len' suffix for length (matching BLI naming).
- Use '_p' suffix for functions that return a pointer to values
where the value would typically be returned.
Functions renamed:
- BKE_object_material_resize was BKE_material_resize_object
- BKE_object_material_remap was BKE_material_remap_object
- BKE_object_material_remap_calc was BKE_material_remap_object_calc
- BKE_object_material_array_p was BKE_object_material_array
- BKE_object_material_len_p was BKE_object_material_num
- BKE_id_material_array_p was BKE_id_material_array
- BKE_id_material_len_p was BKE_id_material_num
- BKE_id_material_resize was BKE_material_resize_id
- BKE_id_material_append was BKE_material_append_id
- BKE_id_material_pop was BKE_material_pop_id
- BKE_id_material_clear was BKE_material_clear_id
Instead of using anonymous booleans flags, also allows to keep the same
behavior in all cases, without needing special handling from calling
code for our beloved oddballs object proxies...
Even though we do not have much of those, this might change in the
future, and in any case having specific functions for this ID type in
generic `BKE_lib` area was really confusing.
Similar change to the one done for tagged IDs overriding some days ago.
We do not always want to remap all local usages of a linked data-block
to its new local overriding copy.
The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

The `BKE_material_pop_id()` and `BKE_material_clear_id()` functions had
a parameter `update_data` that, when `false`, would cause the mesh polys
to keep their material index, even when the indexed material slots were
removed. This behaviour was never used in the C code and not supported
by the drawing code, making polygons disappear and causing crashes. The
Python binding in RNA, however, defaulted to `update_data=False`.
This commit removes the `update_data` parameter altogether, and makes
the functions always fix up the material indices.

Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
Main goal here is to make it obvious and predictable about
what is going on.
Summary of changes.
- Access to dependency graph is now only possible to a fully evaluated
graph. This is now done via context.evaluated_depsgraph_get().
The call will ensure both relations and datablocks are updated.
This way we don't allow access to some known bad state of the graph,
and also making explicit that getting update dependency graph is not
cheap.
- Access to evaluated ID is now possible via id.evaluated_get().
It was already possible to get evaluated ID via dependency graph,
but that was a bit confusing why access to original is done via ID
and to evaluated via depsgraph.
If datablock is not covered by dependency graph it will be returned
as-is.
- Similarly, request for original from an ID which is not evaluated
will return ID as-is.
- Removed scene.update().
This is very expensive to update all the view layers.
- Added depsgraph.update().
Now when temporary changes to objects are to be done, this is to
happen on original object and then dependency graph is to be
updated.
- Changed object.to_mesh() to behave the following way:
* When is used for original object modifiers are ignored.
For meshes this acts similar to mesh-copy, not very useful but
allows to keep code paths similar (i.e. for exporter which has
Apply Modifiers option it's only matter choosing between original
and evaluated object, the to_mesh() part can stay the same).
For curves this gives a mesh which is constructed from displist
without taking own modifiers and modifiers of bevel/taper objects
into account.
For metaballs this gives empty mesh.
Polygonization of metaball is not possible from a single object.
* When is used for evaluated object modifiers are always applied.
In fact, no evaluation is happening, the mesh is either copied
as-is, or constructed from current state of curve cache.
Arguments to apply modifiers and calculate original coordinates (ORCO,
aka undeformed coordinates) are removed. The ORCO is to be calculated
as part of dependency graph evaluation.

NOTE: I've included changes to FBX exporter, and those are addressing

NOTE: All the enabled-by-default addons are to be ported still, but
first want to have agreement on this part of changes.
NOTE: Also need to work on documentation for Python API, but, again,
better be done after having agreement on this work.
