The voxel remesher introduces a new workflow for sculpting without any of the limitations of Dyntopo (no geometry errors or performance penalty when blocking shapes). It is also useful for simulations and 3D printing.
This commit includes:
- Voxel remesh operator, voxel size mesh property and general remesh flags.
- Paint mask reprojection.
- Geometry undo/redo for sculpt mode. This should support remesh operations as well as future tools that modify the topology of the sculpt in a single step, like trimming tools or mesh insert brushes.
- UI changes in the sculpt topbar and the mesh properties pannel.

This function makes it possible to clear/remove/nuke all the geometry in
a mesh, allowing functions like `Mesh.from_python()` to construct a new
mesh in its place. Without this function, code like in T67627 have to
allocate a new Mesh datablock, fill that, and swap out the old Mesh for
the new one. This introduces issues when exporting, as the new mesh
could be seen by an exporter as unrelated to the old one.
Shape keys are not freed by this function. Freeing those would require
tagging the depsgraph for relations update, which is an expensive
operation. They should be removed explicitly if necessary.
Material slots are also not cleared by this function, in the same way
that they are not cleared when manually removing all geometry from a
mesh.
The `BKE_mesh_clear_geometry()` function is available in Python as
`mesh.clear_geometry()`.

Main issue in that report was that meshes generated from
`mesh_create_eval_final_view()` and the like need some
special freeing handling (as, among other things, they borrow and do not
own their potential editmesh data...).
Factorized that into a helper func also used by
`BKE_object_free_derived_caches()`.
It should be based on the mesh bounds before modifier stack evaluation, but
some modifiers were causing it to be recomputed. The flag to disable texture
space recomputation was not preserved through modifier evaluation.

There are several aspects to the fix:
- Always calculate bounding box for meshes and curves from dependency
graph evaluation function.
There is a reason why mesh was tagged for geometry update, so can not
be spare here in attempts to avoid calculation.
- Copy bounding box and texture space to original object for active
dependency graph.
This matches object-level bounding box and allows to remove bounding
box evaluation from RNA.

- Remove texture space evaluation from RNA accessor.
Such data is to be evaluated by a dependency graph.
Don't see a reason to be different here: we never force evaluation of
any kind from RNA.

The idea is to share a mesh data-block as a result across all objects
which are sharing same original mesh and have no effective modifiers.
This mesh is owned by an original copy-on-written version of object data.
Tricky part is to make sure it is only initialized once, and currently a
silly mutex lock is used. In practice it only locks if the mesh is not
already there.
As an extra bonus, even viewport memory is also lower after this change.

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.

BKE_mesh_new_nomain automatically added a CD_ORIGINDEX layer initialized to 0,
which was never filled in correctly. In 2.7 the equivalent function used to
modify the source derivedmesh and add valid original indices to it, but this
is no longer possible in the new design and was quite unpredictable anyway.
Now instead rely on mesh_calc_modifiers and the depsgraph to determine when
CD_ORIGINDEX should be added.
Use the term "AFTER" instead of "OFS" since it wasn't obvious these
macros operate on everything after the struct member passed.
Avoid casting to non-const types when only reading.
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).

More or less same code was being executed twice during ID copying.
Makes no sense to add yet another switch-by-ID-type to handle
specificaly runtime data during ID copying, we already have
BKE_xxx_copy_data() functions for that.
Turns out most of our 'local working copy' cases can use same set of
flags.
Note that this commit adds LIB_ID_COPY_CACHES to all our local meshes
copying, however this is no-op since that flag is unused during mesh
copying... We may want to add another set of flags without that one at
some point, but for now it would not be useful imho.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Not sure why that was that way (can't remember any good reason at least,
so assuming this is a dummy mistake from own rB33cbcd73448f), this
should be done in any case.
This is a second attempt to get the crash fixed. The original fix
worked, but it was reverted by d3e0d7f082.
Now the logic goes as:
- All pointers which we can not have shared (the ones which are
owned by the runtime) are cleared.
- The rest of runtime stays untouched.
This seems to be enough to keep particles happy.
This is for 2.80 (though bug I mistakenly merged into was for 2.78.
Duplicate bugs T58127, T58411, T58440, and T58789 all fixed.
Bevel weights and crease are not real Mesh layers so get lost
on coversion of mesh to bmesh unelss the mesh's cd_flag member
tells the converter to create layers for them.
Most code the copies or partially copies meshes uses
mesh_new_nomain_from_template_ex, so copied the flag there.
Go for the simple solution for now (disable auto-texspace in evaluated mesh).
Proper fix would be part of known TODO redesign of bbox handling.
Solution suggested by @sergey, thanks!
