Code in GPU_buffers_free was already trying to be safe
for threading, by skipping OGL calls there, but in fact
it was still buggy.
Namely, freeing was doing buffers shift in a cycle, and
if two threads will call this function shifting will go
crazy.
Now made it so GPU_buffers_alloc and GPU_buffers_free
are using mutex lock, so they're completely safe for
threading. Same goes to gpu_buffer_setup function.
It required minor functions reshuffle, so there're no
locks happening from locked thread, but it's all very
straightforward change

Getting vfont data wasn't safe for threading, because it
was modifying font data which is in bmain and could be
shared by multiple objects.
For now made it so getting vfont uses critical section,
meaning vfont->data is initializing from inside a locked
mutex.

Object update used to free object-data level bounding box to trigger
it's re-calculation in the future. Such a freeing performed from
object update isn't thread-safe because mesh could be shared between
multiple objects.
Rather than freeing bounding box, tag it's as invalid, this is safe
from threading point of view and also prevents unnecessary memory
re-allocation.
Object-level bounding box is still reallocating, but think we could
change this easily in the future as well.

Now modifier stack wouldn't modify original curve's nurbs
and will operate on a copy of nurbs.
This makes it possible to process curve object update with
shared curve datablocks from multiple threads. There's no
big overhead for creating a copy of nurbs comparing to old
behavior which was allocating original vertex array and
apply coordinates on curve after all modifier are applied.
The only remained issue with curves is curve's bounding box
and texture space. It's not thread-safe, but it wouldn't
lead to crashes -- it just could lead to either memory
leak or wrong texture coordinates due to difference in
modifiers stacks of objects which shares the same curve.

So far it was harmless, but with upcoming changes having this
argument could be confusing from logic point of view

I know this is not so much nice to have this guys hanging
around in a general Object datablock and ideally they better
be wrapped around into a structure like DerivedMesh or
something like this. But this is pure runtime only stuff and
we could re-wrap them around later.
Main purpose of this is making curves more thread safe,
so no separate threads will ever start freeing the same path
or the same bevel list.
It also makes sense because path and bevel shall include
deformation coming from modifiers which are applying on
pre-tesselation point and different objects could have
different set of modifiers. This used to be really confusing
in the past and now data which depends on object is stored
in an object, making things clear for understanding even.
This doesn't make curve code fully thread-safe due to
pre-tesselation modifiers still modifies actual nurbs and
lock is still needed in makeDispListsCurveTypes, but this
change makes usage of paths safe for threading.
Once modifiers will stop modifying actual nurbs, curves
will be fully safe for threading.
Actually, this commit also contains wrapping runtime curve
members into own structure
This allows easier assignment on file loading, keeps curve-
specific runtime data grouped and saves couple of bytes in
Object for non-curve types.

This display list was only used for texture space calculation,
and even there this display list was only used for bounding
box calculation.
Since we already do have bounding box in a curve datablock
there's no reason to duplicate non-modified display list
just to calculate bounding box later, let's just calculate
bounding box at the first point.
This makes code a little be more thread-safe but curves are
still not safe for threads at all because of bevel list and
path. That would be solved later.

It used to be a check for ob->bb ? ob->bb : cu->bb but
in fact it doesn't make sense and only makes code more
crappy.
Making displist for mballs and curves/surfaces/fonts
already ensures object has walid bounding box.

Move static variables to context filling in by this fcuntion
and owned by a callee function. This ensures no conflicts
between threads happens because of static variables used in
this function.
Also moved modifier types and virtual modifiers data to a
function called from creator. This is needed to be sure all
the information is properly initialied to the time when
threads starts to use this data.

It was caused by wrong copy-paste thing, which replaced check
"whether alpha channel is enabled" with "whether alpha channel
is not zero" (which is always zero in accumulator).
Compositor always works with RGBA, so no need to do any special
checks here.
TODO: Maybe MapUV ode shall ignore alpha channel?
* fill-holes operator now takes advantage of new edge-net fill, works in many more cases then it did before.
* face-create that uses edge-net now initializes the normals based on surrounding geometry, only running normal calculation if there are no connected faces for a reference.
New features:
* Bump mapping now works with SSS
* Texture Blur factor for SSS, see the documentation for details:

Work in progress for feedback:
Initial implementation of the "BSSRDF Importance Sampling" paper, which uses
a different importance sampling method. It gives better quality results in
many ways, with the availability of both Cubic and Gaussian falloff functions,
but also tends to be more noisy when using the progressive integrator and does
not give great results with some geometry. It works quite well for the
non-progressive integrator and is often less noisy there.
This code may still change a lot, so unless you're testing it may be best to
stick to the Compatible falloff function.
Skin test render and file that takes advantage of the gaussian falloff:

- optimize BM_face_exists_overlap_subset(), dont check faces smaller then the vert array, don't initialize overlap flag unless its needed.
- BM_face_exists_overlap had incorrect check (currently function is unused so no harm done)
This is done by fixing logic for finding the first unused element in treehash.
The blend file from [36486] also exposes a memleak, but it should be addressed separately.
This will make transitions from older versions of Blender easier since VSYNC_ON
will be the default. This could have been changed in a do_version, but the vsync
code has yet to see an official release, so I figured this would be a bit nicer.
Also, this makes VSYNC_ON the default for new scenes as well.
previous code created faces with mixed face-flipping and could get very slow,
test with ~60,000 edges here hung my system for over 2min (didnt wait for it to finish), new code executes in about 1 second.
new code doesn't attempt to flip faces correctly, its quite involved to do so, especially when the new faces are not created adjacent to eachother.
so simpler to calculate normals afterwards.
This disables crazy adaptive sampling happening in diagonal direction.
This still gives some doggyness, but it's much less dramatic now,
and behavior is pretty damn the same as EWA filtering when rendering
textures with Blender Internal.
Problem is that the read/write buffer operations only work with actual
image inputs. If a singular value is used as group input no actual
buffer will be created, the write operation does not schedule any chunks
and the ReadBufferOperation subsequently returns zero
(MemoryBuffer::read).
The fix uses the (0,0) resolution to detect single value input of the
WriteBufferOperation. The actual resolution is then clamped to (1,1) to
ensure we have a single pixel to store the value in. A m_single_value
flag is also set, so we can reliably distinguish this from genuine image
resolutions without having to check m_width/m_height later on.
The ReadBufferOperation copies this flag from the associated
WriteBufferOperation and if set will always return the single value from
pixel (0,0).
the subset version of the function checks if any faces has all its verts in the given array.
also made some additions to linklist functions (arena and pool versions of append).
