This is only working for shading batches for the moment and only if some Custom data layer are not needed anymore.
The collection rate is hardcoded at 60 sec but could be exposed to the user.
This system can be extended and discard most unused batches in the future.
This commit is in prevision of removing BKE_MESH_BATCH_DIRTY_SHADING when changing shader parameters.
When using subsurf (and other modifiers) the edit flags are not
propagated correctly. Currently we assume to read the edit flags
from the original object which is kind off hinding the real issue.
Modifiers use `mesh_new_nomain_from_template_ex` to create a copy
from an existing mesh. this method is only used by modifiers. So
by placing this we will make sure that editmesh is propagated.

Objects that internally uses DispList do not cast shadow in the workbench.
Their outline is also not visible in object mode. The reason for this is
that edge detection was not implemented for Display Lists. This patch will
implement the edge detection.

Note this was broken even in 2.7x.
We had a different logic for the plane wire, as for the plane itself.
And they were both wrong when changing the camera shift or the stereo
pivot.
Both of their logic is now unified and correct.
Also I had to create a new gpu batch for the quad wires, since there is
no state that allows me to filter out the geometry, and the square gpu
batch is quite different than the quad one (2d x 3d and orientation).
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This now only upload data per loops to the GPU, making use of index buffer
to draw polygon. This make use of the vertex cache, speed up renders
and saves a lot of vram.
Update performance is also slightly faster and can even be improved further
by updating only uvs or vcol independently.
This commits breaks texture paint batches. It will be added back in another
commit.
This changes a bit the batches data structure. Instead of using one
vbo per material we use one for all material and use index buffers for
selecting the correct triangles.
This is less optimized than before but has potential to become more
optimized by merging the wireframe data vbo into the shading one.
Also the index buffers are not strictly necessary and could be just
ranges inside the buffer. But this needs more adding things inside
GPUIndexBuf.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
This makes it possible for engines to ask for batches and only fill their
data after all engine populate functions have run.
This means that, when creating the batches data we already know all the
batches that are needed for this redraw and the needed data.
This allows for less redundant data preparation and better attrib masking.
Ideally, we should run all viewports populate function before executing
the batch construction but this is not the scope of this patch.
Conversion from the old request method will be progressive and both can
coexist (see uses of mesh_create_pos_and_nor()).
The shader is way simpler and run way faster on lower end hardware
(2x faster on intel HD5000) but did not notice any improvement on AMD Vega.
This also adds a few changes to the way the wireframes are drawn:
- the slider is more linearly progressive.
- optimize display shows all wires and progressively decrease "inner" wires
intensity. This is subject to change in the future.
- text/surface/metaballs support is pretty rough. More work needs to be done.
This remove the optimization introduced in f1975a4639.
This also removes the GPU side "sharpness" calculation which means that
animated meshes with wireframe display will update slower.
The CPU sharpness calculation has still room for optimization. Also
it is not excluded that GPU calculation can be added back as a
separate preprocessing pass (saving the computation result [compute or
feedback]).
The goal here was to have more speed for static objects and remove
the dependency of having buffer textures with triangle count. This is
preparation work for multithreading the whole DRW manager.
This only happens after a certain wireframe threshold.
We sort triangles into 2 bins (start and end of the buffer) based on a
threshold and just draw the first bin if the wireframe slider is low enough.
This optimization is disabled for deformed meshes when playback is active.
This optimization is only implemented for meshes object for now.
This should help resolve (to some extent) T58188.

Fixes T57931 Particle weight edit mode is not supported.
There is a bug that prevent refresh of the toolsettings on which is based
the weight / non-weight display selection (see T58086).
In 2.79 hiding works in paint modes with selection enabled,
so it is a missing feature. This implements it in texture
paint overlays and in workbench base shading.

This decouple the vertex display from the face+edges.
This is to reduce the number of triangles required to fix the edges
artifacts (aliasing) and increase viewport reactivity when not actively
navigating (ie. mouse scroll).
Also it makes all vertices visible (not cut-off) even when navigating.
However it makes the navigation drawing a bit slower because it has to
render twice.
Also add a depth bias to the wires to avoid depth fighting when previewing
final mesh (modifiers applied).
