When mixing vert/edge/face with select-visible,
face selection could fail when not close enough to the center.
This also fixes a bug where the bias for verts over edges would
prefer faces over edges too, making edges harder to pick.
Mixing edge with other selection modes works more predictably now.
The purpose of this change is to add extra possibility to render engines and
export scripts to reduce peak memory footprint during their operation.
This new argument should be used with care since it'll leave mesh in not really
compatible with blender format, but it's ok to be used on temp meshes.
Unfortunately, it's hard to get scene where it'll show huge benefit because
in my tests with cycles peak memory is reached in MEM_printmemlist_stats().
However, in the file with sintel dragon it gives around 1gig of memory benefit
after removing the polys which would allow other heavy to compute stuff such as
hair (or even pointiness calculation) to not be a peak memory usage.
In any case, this change is nice to have IMO, and only means more parts of
scene export code should be optimized memory-wise.

Along with some minor cleanup and simplifications.

Add simple uvs now does a cube unwrap and pack operation. Result is not
optimal by far but it should not result in crashes and it will be quite
usable for simple cases.
since enough bmesh operations can also take advantage of direct index lookups on verts/edges/faces.
developers note:
- EDBM_index_arrays_init/ensure/free -> BM_mesh_elem_table_ensure/init/free
- EDBM_vert/edge/face_at_index -> BM_vert/edge/face_at_index
- EDBM_uv_element_map_create/free -> BM_uv_element_map_create/free
- ED_uv_element_get -> BM_uv_element_get
flush the selection on entering editmode instead (since the selection mode can be changed with another mesh).
is other tools leave the selection incorrectly flushed, those will need to be fixed so transform works as expected.
- give feedback on how many mirror verts succeed/fail (for select mirror, shape key mirror, weight mirror)
... when a mirror failed it was confusing and not obvious what was going on.
- slight change to select mirror, now center vertices will remain selected.
- speedup to EDBM_verts_mirror_cache_begin, cache customdata layer offset.
note: that this intentionally removes check to exit vpaint mode when a vertex color layer is removed,
since being in vertex-paint mode without a vertex color layer is supported.
also minor change to drawing camera limits while picking from previous commit.
- when running knife project, disable vertex selection since it may select areas between the newly cut regions.
add EDBM_selectmode_disable() function since loopcut does this too.
- (optimization) avoid looping over all geometry when flushing and no selection exists.
