For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

This is merely making behaviors of this function a bit more explicit,
and avoid re-adding another CD_NORMAL layer to polys in the (unlikely)
case it would already have one.
It also handles CD_MASK_NORMAL in cd_dirty_poly, but this is more like
future-proof thing, this is not used anywhere currently afaik.
Now it will be simpler for code jsut wanting to preserve custom normals
around to set them, without having to add same boiler plate code all the
time around actual code.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
There is no point having operations that iterate over the whole
bit array as macros, so convert BLI_BITMAP_SET_ALL to a function.
Also, add more utilities for copying and manipulating masks.

Some of this code had comments to be left as is for readability,
or comment the code should be kept.
Other functions were only for debugging.
Terms get/set don't make much sense when casting values.
Name macros so the conversion is obvious,
use common prefix for easier completion.
- GET_INT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_INT
- SET_INT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_INT
- GET_UINT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_UINT
- SET_UINT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_UINT
This merges changes in internals, runtime-only of existing custom
normals code, which make sense as of themselves, and will make diff of
soc branch easier/lighter to review.
In the details, it mostly changes two things:
* Now, smooth fans (aka MLoopNorSpaceArray) can store either loop
indices, or pointers to BMLoop themselves. This makes sense since in
BMesh, it's relatively easy to get index from a BMElement, but nearly
impracticable to go the other way around.
* First change enforces another, now we cannot rely anymore on `loops`
being NULL in MLoopNorSpace to detect single-loop fans, so we instead
store that info in a new flag.
Again, these are expected to be totally non-functional changes.
