---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

Had to add a few utility functions to replace existing functions. Let me know if these are duplicates.

The little grabby handle in the corner of an area. Now uses 1 draw call
instead of 6.
Also one version of the (+) icon to show a hidden region. Why do we
have multiple versions of this?
Fixed a harmless signed/unsigned error.
Fixed a GL state error that prematurely disabled blending.
Added imm_draw_filled_circle function, which can be used for drawing
other widgets.
Work toward T49042 and T49043
Keeping unused gla2D code because it might be useful, or inspire
something useful, for Blender 2.8 development.
Also removed an old Mac driver bug workaround. Disabled this before the
2.77 release and nobody has complained.
This commit avoids draw of invisible parts of image in image editor,
making it faster to re-draw the image.
Especially handy when painting on a high-res image when zoomed-in.
Everything I've tested works fine without these hacks. Variety of Mac, Linux, Windows, Intel, nVidia, AMD.
If these workarounds are for old unsupported systems let's clean house.

The is intended to replace the deprecated glPolygonStipple() calls with a shader
based alternative, once we switch over to GLSL shaders.

Moral of the story: Make sure that size_t is used whenever pointer
arithmetic is involved. For images, that basically means whenever any
squared dimensions are involved. Casting an operand to size_t early in
the operation is usually sufficient to force the entire operation to
size_t.
There might still be places lurking where we don't support this
correctly. This has been tested with render pipeline, quite a few image
functions (meaning we can paint on such images now, albeit somewhat
slowly ;) ) and export to jpeg. Too many places in code to check so I
guess we'll be handling cases as they come.
Don't try this at home unless you have an immense ammount of RAM.
First GPixel render of suzanne in the multiverse can be found here:
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/suzanne-billion-pixel.jpg
Can be viewed from blender (takes about 3.3 GB after loading but may
take more during loading so 8GB might be more safe to try this).
In this case we can calculate an offset without worrying about
perspective correction. Unfortunately if looking from a camera we still
have depth issues here. There's no really general case that can fix this
so I'm leaving this as is.
Issue is zfighting with wire of mesh when parts of the mesh are close
together. We can make this slightly better by reducing the offset,
however this offset is calculated pre-perspective division and can vary
greatly with distance. Correct approach would be using polygon offset,
however we draw mesh wireframes as lines, (not polygons with polygon
mode line) so this approach will not work.
Alternatively, we could set an offset in a shader, however we don't have
code for that either.
Preserve buffer form previous runs so it's possible to make
a compo of full frame, then draw a border and start tweaking
nodes and see updates in that border.
Main idea is to make it able to visually compare difference
between what was changed inside the border and how frame
looked before the tweaks outside of the border.
Also implemented Clear Viewer Border in compositor, shortcut
it Ctrl-Alt-B.

Was using wire or black in many places, this color is used for cursor,
camera guides, transform helper lines. So its possible to have a dark
background with light overlay color.
Patch D331 by Brita, with some edits.
