CCGSubsurf has already a function to disable calculation of normals,
but seems it wasn't used. This patch changes subsurf UV and
subsurf_calculate_limit_positions() to not calculate normals, and also
not allocate space for them.
Should be no functional changes, just a small speedup/less memory use
during subdivision for these cases.

Added compareDrawSettings callback to driver mesh's callbacks which are
drawing textured faces (mapped and not mapped). This new callback checks
if two faces are drawing with the same settings (testures, shading etc)
and if they not, flush of faces happens into ogl using glDrawArrays and
next face would be drawn with it's own settings.
Currently implemented compareDrawSettings is used to resolve issue from
bug report only, probably there are extra places where this callback is
needed, but haven't seen configuration where current logic will fail,
so it should be ok.
Also reordered arguments passing to drawMappedFaces DM's callbacks,
so now all drawing callback are accepting list of callbacks and then
userData, instead of using mixed order of callbacks and userData which
was a bit confusing to work with.
This commit fixes:
- #26410: VBO & multitexture doesnt work
- #29464: VBO enabled causes UV coruption
applied in some cases, due to more opengl state switching. There are still
some differences in performance, but that's expected due to different opengl
draw commands used.
effect for a render engine using new shading nodes. In short:
* No longer uses images assigned to faces in the uv layer, rather the active
image texture node is what is edited/painted/drawn.
* Textured draw type now shows the active image texture node, with solid
lighting.
* Material draw mode shows GLSL shader of a simplified material node tree,
using solid lighting.
* Textures for modifiers, brushes, etc, are now available from a dropdown in
the texture tab in the properties editor. These do not use new shading nodes
yet.

- removed AVG2, was only used once.
- remove unused LONGCOPY define.
- removed BLI_STRUCT_OFFSET, was only used once, replce with offsetof
- formatting edits, split some macros over multiple lines.
- only pass if the mesh has vertex colors to drawParams() rather then the mcol its self, this saves a lookup on the color.
- drawing textures in editmode with no vertex colors would still lookup vertex colors on each face, instead cache this info for all faces.
- converting nurbs to mesh was casting the material to unsigned char.
- subsurf was casting to char, then int -> short in a loop.
- have material functions take & return shorts.
Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.

1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.

Mike Pan for the design discussions, and testing along the whole development process.
Vitor Balbio for the first hands-on code with the interface changes. That helped me a lot to push me into work on that.
Benoit Bolsee and Brecht van Lommel for patch review (* no one reviewed the whole patch, or the latest iteractions, so I still hold liability for any problems).

Added callback to drawMappedFaces which checks if two faces have got equal draw options.
After discussion with Brecht we found it's nicest solution for now:
- Disabling VBOs in edit mode for this case wouldn't be nicer for this case -
some additional flag stored in DM should be added in this case.
- Adding new callback in DM isn't nicer that this solution.
- Handling face selection in drawobject would lead to duplicated code
which is also not nice.
Hopefully, this callback could handle all cases in the future.
Also, Brecht mentioned current VBO implementation isn't perfect, so maybe
when we'll redesign this area dealing with edit mode wouldn't be so tricky.
* Canvas and brush can be now enabled simultaneously. This way it's possible for two canvases to interact.
* Added basic anti-aliasing support for vertex surfaces.
* 3D-view color preview now works even when there's subsurf modifier after Dynamic Paint in modifier stack.
* Added a new brush option to use proximity from object center.
* Default surface frame range now use scene's start and end values.
* Improved ray checks for volume brushes.
* Added new "non-closed" option for volume brushes. This way it's possible to use planar meshes as "volume" brushes with predefined ray direction.
* New carrot branch splash image by CGEffex.
* Improved brush affection code.
* Lots of smaller improvements.
* Fixed: Weight paint didn't work with particles.
* Fixed: Point cache didn't work for non-wave surfaces anymore since last commit.
- Constructive modifiers are enabled by default in sculpt mode.
- There's option to disable all constructive modifiers in the "Options"
panel of toolbox in sculpt mode,
- Use one column in options panel to make strings easier to read
- No modifiers would still be applied on multires
- made EXPANDED_AGRP take bAnimContext as an argument.
- remove unneeded NULL check drawFacesColored functions.
- comment some vars which are set but not used.
Noted that a floating point exception caused by this r28953.
With the render engine using DerivedMesh normals this came up as a memory error when rendering some files.
for now zero the normals, could interpolate between vertex normals if needed.
the two files mikktspace.h and mikktspace.c. These are standalone files
which can be redistributed into any other application and regenerate the
same tangent spaces. The implementation is independent of the ordering
of faces and the vertex ordering of faces.
Used a crazyspace approach (like in edit mode), but only modifiers with
deformMatricies are allowed atm (currently shapekeys and armature modifiers only).
All the rest modifiers had an warning message that they aren't applied because
of sculpt mode. Deformation of multires is also unsupported.
With all this restictions users will always see the actual "layer" (or maybe
mesh state would be more correct word) they are sculpting on.
Internal changes:
- All modifiers could have deformMatricies callback (the same as deformMatriciesEM but
for non-edit mode usage)
- Added function to build crazyspace for sculpting (sculpt_get_deform_matrices), but it
could be generalized for usage in other painting modes (particle edit mode, i.e)
Todo:
- Implement crazyspace correction to support all kinds of deformation modifiers
- Maybe deformation of multires isn't so difficult?
- And maybe we could avoid extra bad-level-stub for ED_sculpt_modifiers_changed
without code duplicating?
Root cause is that some drawing modes don't work with PBVH
drawing. Worked around by adding a call to update mesh normals from
the PBVH so that sculpted changes appear correctly in those
"unsupported" modes. (They'll still draw much more slowly than solid,
but should at least appear correct now.)
