This contains a few pieces of code for a future "modifier" system that
would allow more flexible combination of effects. Eventually a node
system is the way to go, but the current code makes that impossible.
to prevent double-freeing/invalid mem access.
This can happen with the "virtual parents" feature, which generates both
parent and child paths. Each task free function also freed the shared
context, leading to double freeing.
distribution and path caching for child particles.
This gives a significant improvement of viewport playback performance
with higher child particle counts. Particles previously used their own
threads and had a rather high limit for threading. Also threading
apparently was disabled because only 1 thread was being used ...
Without this the particle system only shows the actual non-simulated
hairs ("guide hairs") during edit mode. These hairs are used for goals
as well, so showing them in the regular viewport is pretty important.
Also the usual hair curves are interpolated along the entire length,
which makes it very difficult to see exact vertex positions, unless
using exact powers of 2 for the segment number and match the display
steps.

The curl radius for children in interpolated mode was calculated using
the total offset from the parent particle. This leads to very large
radii when the distance is large due to sparse parents. Such behavior is
also very unrealistic because the curl radius is mostly constant and
defined by the material properties.
All the child hairs are roughly parallel by default. To simulate the
agglomeration of children into hair wisps the "flatness" parameter is
now used to clump them together.
simulation.
Note that this currently generates an extreme amount of points, by
making a edit pathcache curve for each hair in every frame! But at least
doesn't simply crash now.
Propper fix reverting most of rB60e70c0c6014e5, which was only partial specific fix.
This code uses generic `BKE_id_lib_local_paths()` func to handle all possible paths.

There were several small issues/inconsistencies if how particles' org face index was checked,
leading in some cases to invalid indices and hence mem access, in RNA UV/VCol compute for particles.
Note org code RNA one was copied from (in BI's convertblender.s) is much more complicated,
and seems to never reach those breaking conditions.
Also deduplicated most code in those UV/VCol particles funcs, they were doing mostly the same thing!
Finally, also got rid of annoying `NO CD_ORIGSPACE, error out of range` error message in console,
was another case of not checking whether we did have any faces in final mesh!
in threaded depgraph updates and effector list construction.
Gathering effectors during depgraph updates will call the
psys_check_enabled function. This in turn contained a DNA alloc call
for the psys->frand RNG arrays, which is really bad because data must be
immutable during these effector constructions.
To avoid such allocs the frand array is now global for all particle
systems. To avoid correlation of pseudo-random numbers the psys->seed
value is complemented with random offset and multiplier for the actual
float array. This is not ideal, but work sufficiently well (given that
random numbers were already really limited and show repetition quite
easily for particle counts > PSYS_FRAND_COUNT).
Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

Lattice deformation used to store some runtime data
inside of lattice datablock itself. It's something
which is REALLY bad. Ideally DNA shouldn't contain
and runtime data.
For now solved it in a way that initialization of
lattice deform will create a structure which contains
lattice object for which deformation is calculating
and that runtime data which used to be stored in
lattice datablock itself.
It works really fine for mesh deform modifier, but
there's still runtime data stored in particle system
DNA, It didn't look something easy to be solved, so
leaving this as-is for now.

rendering. This used to happen in an unneeded frame change update which was
removed. For heavy particle systems this could have a bad impact on viewport
performance after rendering.
The Emission panel now has a Use Modifier Stack option to emit particles from
the mesh with modifiers applied. Previously particles would only be emitted from
faces that exist in the original mesh. There are some caveats however:

results, so in most cases it should not be used.
Also fixes#34992 where the noise texture of a displacement modifier was not
properly random in opengl animation render, because the seed got reset to a
fixed value by an unrelated function while for final render it changed each
frame.
This simply adds a third "translation type" (in addition to iface and tip), "new data", with relevant user settings flag and helper funcs/macros (and py api).
Currently implemented name translation when adding new objects, as well as modifiers and constraints, will add the others (cd layers, scenes, perhaps nodes [though I think they do not need this], etc.) later.

* DAG_scene_sort is now removed and replaced by DAG_relations_tag_update in
most cases. This will clear the dependency graph, and only rebuild it right
before it's needed again when the scene is re-evaluated.
This is done because DAG_scene_sort is slow when called many times from
python operators. Further the scene argument is not needed because most
operations can potentially affect more than the current scene.
* DAG_scene_relations_update will now rebuild the dependency graph if it's not
there yet, and DAG_scene_relations_rebuild will force a rebuild for the rare
cases that need it.
* Remove various places where ob->recalc was set manually. This should go
through DAG_id_tag_update() in nearly all cases instead since this is now
a fast operation. Also removed DAG_ids_flush_update that goes along with
such manual tagging of ob->recalc.
It was caused by own mistake by not noticing externtex is used not
only by render engine. Now this function uses pool passed as argument
rather than using R.pool.
now blenlib/BLI doesn't depend on any blenkern/BKE functions,
there are still some bad level includes but these are only to access G.background and the blender version define.
