When enable annotations with a grease pencil object, the GP Object must be set to Object mode because the annotation Draw and the GP draw are incompatible.
Now when try to add annotation, if a grease pencil object is selected, first the object is unselected. This solution is not perfect but it's better than cancel the annotation.
Thanks Dalai for his help.
The lock to axis is only used by grease pencil object and can produce weird results in annotations.
This lock to axis function was kept by error when the annotation code was splitted from general grease pencil code.
In some cases (e.g. using old userpref settings/keymaps)
it was possible to trigger a crash when the wrong GP/Annotation
operators were triggered in the wrong contexts (e.g. using
the old GPENCIL_OT_paint in annotation-only contexts like
all the 2D editors).
This commit resolves several issues that were caused by sloppy
code-churn + features that had been hacked on.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
