Previously in 2.79 we were using a specialized drawing using derivedMesh.
Now the subsurf modifier tag each center vertex as facedot and let the
DRWManager pick it up.
Some modifiers (deforming ones) do not clear the tag so we can use this
technique even if there is deforming modifiers after subsurf modifiers.
This saves memory and evaluation time for simple static meshes with e.g. a
subdivision surface modifier. If no CD_ORCO layer exists then we assume the
actual vertex coordinates are equal to the original undeformed coordinates.
A regression since 64c8d72ef1.
The solution is to force modifier evaluation for an evaluated
object, and let it to copy binding data back to original when
is being evaluated for binding.

The general idea of this change is to have a runtime data pointer
in the ModifierData, so it can be preserved through copy-on-write
updates by the dependency graph.
This is where subdivision surface modifier can store its topology
cache, so it is not getting trashed on every copy-on-write which
is happening when moving a vertex.
Similar mechanism should be used by multiresolution, dynamic paint
and some other modifiers which cache evaluated data.
This fixes T61746.
Thing to keep in mind, that there are more reports about slow
subdivision surface in the tracker, but that boils down to the
fact that those have a lot of extraordinary vertices, and hence
a lot slower to evaluated topology.
Other thing is, this speeds up oeprations which doesn't change
topology (i.e. moving vertices).

We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

`BKE_modifier_get_evaluated_mesh_from_evaluated_object()` used by
modifiers needing access to other objects' geometry probably skipped out
of the radar when cage and final evaluated meshes were added to
BMEditMesh? In any case, we do not need to duplicate (and then free!) a
temp mesh from editdata anymore, and we can even add instead a parameter
to get cage instead of final. Also makes modifiers code a bit simpler.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

The main goal of this patch is to cleanup the interface of every modifier. More specifically the interface of modifiers should be DerivedMesh-free.
Internally some modifiers still use DerivedMesh. However I think it is better when the wrappers are in the modifiers so that higher level functions can use the simplified interface.
This patch removes the applyModifier_DM and applyModifierEM_DM functions. In a previous patch (rB3614d9d) the other functions that used DerivedMesh have been removed.

Modifiers stack only get COW/evaluated IDs, so no need to go auery again
DEG for those. Further more, now unified handling of EditBMesh case (was
done on case-by-case basis in a few modifiers, not all for some reason).
We are still missing the ability to get final and cage deformed meshes
when in Edit mode though, this is to be defined/implemented in depsgraph.
This fix applying the following modifiers:
* Boolean (working already)
* Array
* Mesh Deform
* Surface Deform
* Vertex Weight Proximity
This function was to return evaluated mesh. So it should get the evaluated
object at all times. So in this case it makes more sense to simply pass the
depsgraph (or in this case the ModifierEvalContext that contains both the
depsgraph and the flag.
Solution discussed with Bastien Montagne.
Bone selection overlay is only available in pose mode.
and when active overrules the selection buffer.
This is currently `tricked` by switching the draw engines, but this is
an exception. Not sure how to solve this in a better way.
After this is solved we can look at how to localize the dim effect to only the objects connected to the active armatures. Currently it dims the whole screen (including background).

The contents of the ModifierEvalContext struct are constant while iterating
over the modifier stack. The struct thus should be only created once, outside
any loop over the modifiers.
