For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

The most common use of the text editor seems to be for scripting. Having
line numbers and syntax highlighting enabled by default seems sensible.
Syntax highlighting is now enabled by default, but is automatically
disabled when the datablock has a non-highlighted extension.
Highlighting is enabled for filenames like:
- Text
- Text.001
- somefile.py
and is automatically disabled when the datablock has an extension for
which Blender has no syntax highlighter registered.

Previously we were setting it to 1 (aka no 'chunking'), to follow
previous behavior. However, this is far from optimal, especially with
CPUs that can have tens of threads nowadays.
Now taking an heuristic approach (inspired from the one already existing
for `BLI_task_parallel_listbase()`, which tries to guesstimate best
chunk sizes based on several factors (amount of threads/parallel tasks,
total number of items, ...).
Think this is a reasonable base ground, more optimization here would of
course be possible.
Note that code that was already explicitely settings some value here
won't be affected at all by that change.
Function would not clear the static scheduler pointer, which lead to
crash (mem use after free) when trying to re-init and use the task API
again. Should not happen in Blender itself, but could in other cases
(like some future gtests ;) ).
Some versions of the Windows SDK headers have a dbghelp.h that will emit
C4091 warnings, repress them just this once, since the warn can be helpful
in other places.
This patch makes BLI_task_scheduler_create wait for all worker threads to have started before
returning to caller. For very short workloads (BLI_taks_test) there is the chance that the
worker threads have not fully started yet, and the main thread is calling pthread_join at
the same time as pthread_setspecific is being called on the worker threads which causes a
deadlock on pthreads4w.

Remove the clear allocation flag as it has little impact since there should
be very few allocation per redraw.
Make BLI_memblock_alloc and BLI_memblock_iterstep much more cache efficient
removing them almost entirely from performance profiles.
very straightforward: initialize default to the same hard limit as the
RNA properties.
Annoying part is that it's not trivial to make RNA to use same BLI functions,
so leaving that behind for now.
This is really close to BLI_mempool but uses an array to keep track of the
chunks of memory. There is no tagging necessary to clear the whole
structure so reuse is fast.
Naturally supports iteration but does not support freeing.
matrix inversion was changed in rB01c75c3765eb from own code to EIGEN
for performance reasons. EIGEN would return a zero matrix on failure
(resulting in the pivot always being at the object origin).
This brings back the "old" matrix inversion code (which has the benifit
of providing a partial solution which makes the local transform center
appear correct)

Unlike location and rotation, there is a meaningful definition of
overall/average scaling via the total change in the volume. This
adds an option to retrieve that via a single driver variable,
instead of having to use three and an expression.
Using the determinant to compute the volume scaling also allows
detecting flipping due to negative scale - this is impossible
to do via the three variable approach.
The volume_scale functions are added purely for code readability:
'volume scale factor' is easier to understand than determinant.
