This is used to determine which voxels are to be considered empty space.
Previously it was hardcoded for converting dense grids to OpenVDB grids
to reduce disk space usage.
This value is also useful for rendering engines to know, i.e. to
optimize ray marching.

It allows to have children hair to be twisted around parent curve, which is
quite an essential feature when creating hair braids.
There are currently two controls:
- Number of turns around parent children.
- Influence curve, which allows to modify "twistness" along the strand.
Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
This splits `interp_weights_face_v3` into `interp_weights_tri_v3` and
`interp_weights_quad_v3`, in order to properly handle three sided polygons
without needing a useless extra index in your weight array. This also
improves clarity and consistency with other math_geom functions, thus
reducing potential future errors.

This is yet another debug option that allows to render an arbitrary
simulation field by using a color ramp to inspect its voxel values.
Note that when using this, fire rendering is turned off.

This basically exposes to the UI a function that was only available
through a debug macro ; the purpose is obviously to help debugging
simulations. It adds ways to draw the vectors either as colored needles
or as arrows showing the direction of the vectors. The colors are based
on the magnitude of the underlying vectors.

Current approach uses view aligned slicing to generate polygons for GL
texturing such that the generated polygons are always facing the view
plane. Now it is also possible to use object aligned slicing, which
creates polygons by slicing the object perpendicular to whichever axis
is facing the most the view plane. It is also possible to create a
single slice for inspecting the volume, or for 2D rendering effects.
Settings for this, along with a density multiplier setting, are to be
found in a newly added "Smoke Display Settings" panel in the smoke
domain properties tab.

Point cache read code contains checks designed to prevent it reading
stale data when the relevant simulation code should instead compute
the next frame from the previous one. However in some situations like
motion blur subframes the simulation can't possibly do it and just
exits. This causes completely incorrect motion blur at or after the
last cached frame.
To fix, add a parameter that tells the cache code whether it should
apply the checks and exit, or read what it can even if stale (true
means exactly same as old behavior).
Doing this in cache rather than clamping the frame number better in
the caller lets it handle the case of incomplete cache that stops
before the official last frame.

When the colliders are joined, each cell that touches them only gets
velocity contribution once. When there are multiple objects, velocities
are summed, which causes some cells to get 2x, 3x or more than the actual
object velocity.
Fix this by using the average velocity of all colliders touching a cell.

Issue was that the domain matrix was not initialized properly on the
first frame (in smokeModifier_init), which caused OpenVDB to throw an

This commits implements OpenVDB as an extra cache format in the Point

turned off by default for now, and shall be enabled when the library is
present.

Issue was with very thin domains along one or two axes, these could lead to simulation
with only one cell width - and smoke code assumes we have at least 4 cells in each direction.
So now, we clamp resolution to a minimum of 4 in smoke_set_domain_from_derivedmesh().
Note: in extreme cases like this report, this will generate very un-cubic cells,
check it still works OK in 3DView is needed here.
Thanks to @genscher and @kevindietrich for help on this issue. :)
Active color wasn't copied over if it differs from what the user plugged
in in the UI. Also use a darker color for the default color so smoke
doesn't doen't appear too bright.
Reported in IRC by mib2berlin.
This change is for a few reasons:
- it works with color, and (therefore) will need to be color managed, at
some point. This will be much easier to do if the code is closer to the
actual color management code (in Blender's core, so to speak).
- it has nothing to do with the actual fire simulation, as it is just
used to create a lookup table
- it can be reused for other purposes (i.e. in Blender internal
renderer, if people are interrested in a blackbody node à la Cycles)
- cleanup: some functions (`contrain_rgb`, `xyz_to_rgb`) already exist
in BLI

As in the title. In the smoke version, there was also an extra
'for_render' parameter that wasn't used, and wasn't used by the callers
either, so it was removed altogether.

Gives a global speedup of about 5% in smoke simulation (as usual, parallelized chunks themselves
are about 15-25% quicker with BLI_task than with OMP), using a simple setup with two generators
(one from mesh, one from particles), an obstacle and a windfield.
This is more like a workaround to prevent obvious cases fail, but in theory
if some other area will start updating object for subframes blender will
crash again.
Perhaps proper way to solve this will be to copy objects for subframe updates.
The smoke obstacle detection was using a maximum distance for BVH
checks to find mesh elements that define boundary cells in the grid.
This BVH test was using an arbitrary value of 0.6 cell units. It should
be `sqrt(3)*0.5` to account for the maximum possible distance of mesh
elements inside a cell. Otherwise some cells that should form the
boundary are not detected as such (no closest mesh element found inside
the radius), so you get gaps in the smoke obstacle.
Current temporary data of Blender suffers one major issue - default 'temp' dir on Windows is never
automatically cleaned up, and can end being quite big when used by Blender, especially when we have
to store per-process data (using getpid() in file names).
To address this, this patch:
* Divides tempdir paths in two, one for 'base' temp dir (the same as previous unique tempdir path),
the other is a mkdtemp-generated sub-dir, specific to each Blender instance.
* Only uses base tempdir when we need some shallow persistance accross Blender sessions - and we always
reuse the same filename (quit.blend...) or generate small file (crash reports...).
* Uses temp sub-dir for heavy files like pointcache or renderEXRs (Save Buffer option).
* Erases temp sub-dir on quit or crash.
To get this working it also adds a working 'recursive delete' to BLI_delete() under Windows.
Note that, as in current code, the 'recover render result' hack-feature that was possible
with SaveBuffer option is still removed. A real renderresult cache feature will be added
soon, though.
