Computing the shape of a B-Bone is a quite expensive operation, and
there are multiple constraints that can access this information in
a variety of useful ways. This means computing the shape once per
bone and saving it is good for performance.
Since the shape may depend on the position of up to two other bones,
often in a "cyclic" manner, this computation has to be a separate
node with its own dependencies.

Previously each of the objects which has armature modifier will
request deformation matricies from bbones. Thing is, all those
deformations are the same and do not depend on object which is
being modified. What's even worse is that this calculation is
not cheap.
This change makes it so bbones deformation is calculated once
and stored in the armature object. After this armature modifiers
simply use it.
With a rigs we've got here dependency graph evaluation time
goes down from 0.02 sec to 0.012 sec.
Possible further optimization is to make bbone deformation
calculated at the time when bone is calculated. This will avoid
an extra threaded loop over all bones.
If there was a dependency cycle involved, it was possible that pchan
array will be freed before all bones are evaluated. Now clear is
done in a dedicated node, which is never a part of dependency cycle.
`BKE_pose_rebuild()` should (ideally) always trigger a rebuild of the
depsgraph, since it can add or remove posechannels.
This function now takes a Main parameter to ensure that related
depsgraphes are tagged as dirty (kept it optional, for some corner cases).
We should also probably double-check calls to that function, think in
theory it should only be called from depsgraph itself? But for now...
After discussion with Sergey and Dalai, we have decided to remove
this option completely. We're getting to the point where it is almost
impossible to really use 2.8 without COW, and keeping the old option
running ends up diverting dev resources away towards tracking down
and fixing problems with a parallel system that will be going away.
For the performance we convert object bases list to an array
during view layer evaluation. This makes it possible to have
very cheap index-based base lookup.
The goal of this change is to get rid of base used for function
binding, and avoid scene datablock expansion at the depsgraph
construction time.
This is a part of copy-on-write sanitization, to avoid all the checks
which were attempting to keep sub-data pointers intact.
Point is: ID pointers never change for CoW datablocks, but nested
data pointers might change when updating existing copy.
Solution: Only bind ID data pointers and index of sub-data.
This will make CoW datablock 7update function was easier in 2.8.
In master we were only using pose channel pointers in callbacks,
this is exactly what this commit addresses. A linear lookup array
is created on pose evaluation init and is thrown away afterwards.
One thing we might consider doing is to keep indexed array of
poses, similar to chanhash.

This allows us to:
- Not mock around with tags stored in a global space,
and not to iterate over all datablocks in the database
to clear the tags.
- Properly deal with datablocks which might not be in main database.
While it sounds crazy, it might be handy when dealing with preview,
or some partial scene updates, such as motion paths.
- Avoids majority of places where depsgraph construction needed bmain.
This is something what could help in blender2.8 branch.
From tests with production file here did not see any measurable slowdown.
Hopefully, there is no functional changes :)
This is kind of doesn't matter where macro itself is defined.
We should stick to the following:
- If some macro is actually more an inline function, follow regular
function name conventions.
- If macro is a macro, type it in capitals. Use module prefix if that
helps readability or it if helps avoiding accidents.
This should solve crash on files having proxies, but there will still be
assert failure because proxy_from is expected to come from library, which
is no longer truth for objects which got copied.
Currently shouldn't make any difference, but this is something what needs to be
done to sanitize drivers relations )with the idea to re-use some generic code
to get operations for driver variables.
The only remaining part is the particle stuff, which needs a pointer to exact
particle system which does not exist yet. Leaving it for later a bit for until
it's more clear what do we do with particles.
Unless i'm mistaken, we've got all proper CoW pointers bound now.
Although this works by itself, it should actually happen after:
"Reshuffle collections base flags evaluation, make it so object is gathering
its base flags from collections."
Meanwhile we have one single hacky function (deg_flush_base_flags_and_settings)
to be removed once the task above is tackled.

Before it was a compile time option which was not very easy to use or test. Now
the project is getting more mature, so very soon we will be able to call for a
public tests of limited features.
The copy-on-write (which includes animation, modifiers) is enabled using
--enable-copy-on-write command line argument.
