This simply mimics code used for loopnormals, to enable py scripts to generate and access (temporary)
a tangent 3D vector and bitangent sign for each loop. Together with the split normals, this allow
to recreate a complete tangent space for normal mapping (bitangent = bitangent_sign * cross(normal, tangent)).
Expects all faces to be tri or quads.

- make cmake osx use of -ftemplate-depth match scons.
- use array size within sizeof(), more compact.
- replace AT with __func__ where the function is unique enough.
- BLI_box_pack_2D -> 2d to match other functions.
- rename new mesh normal calculation to mesh.calc_normals_split()
So now, their generation is controlled by a flag, else previous "simple values" group ids are generated (one per poly region, no need here to reduce the number of used IDs!).
Will update obj exporter too.
Note about long lines: I did not touch to two pieces of code (because I don’t see any way to keep a nicely formated, compact code, with shorter lines):
* The node types definitions into rna_nodetree_types.h
* The vgroup name functions into rna_particle.c
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
tested that correcting invalid meshes works by generating random meshes and checking that only the first call to mesh.validate() makes changes.
found 2 bugs in mesh validation.
- face sorting array wasn't assigned correct indices.
- removing invalid edges used wrong comparison.
detects...
- invalid vertex range for edges/faces
- duplicate indices in edge/face
- duplicate edges/faces in mesh
- missing edges data in faces
At the moment it doesn't correct errors, but eventually it will do this.
- mesh.add_geometry(v, e, f) --> mesh.vertices.add(tot), mesh.edges.add(tot), mesh.faces.add(tot)
- mesh.add_material(mat) --> mesh.materials.link(mat)
changed material.link so it always adds a material even if it exists in the list, this behavior is good for users but not scripts since it can mess up indicies (some formats may have the same material set twice).
scene.active_keying_set --> scene.keying_sets.active
...same for active_uv_texture. active_vertex_color, active_keyconfig,
- move mesh.add_uv_layer() and mesh.add_vertex_color() into their collections
also have them return the newly created layer and dont set the layer active.
uvtex = mesh.uv_layers.new(name)
vcol = mesh.vertex_colors.new(name)
