This is a big change that cleanup a lot of confusing code.
- The instancing/batching data buffer distribution in draw_instance_data.c.
- The selection & drawing code in draw_manager_exec.c
- Prety much every non-meshes object drawing (object_mode.c).
Most of the changes are just renaming but there still a chance a typo might
have sneek through.
The Batching/Instancing Shading groups are replace by DRWCallBuffers. This
is cleaner and conceptually more in line with what a DRWShadingGroup should
be.
There is still some little confusion in draw_common.c where some function
takes shgroup as input and some don't.
When using multiple viewlayers and switching between them the selection
gets buggy. The reason for this is that the select_id is updated based
on the index in the viewlayer. This makes the select_id not unique as
objects might be shared or not shared at all.
This fix will update the select_id on all objects in main. This will be triggered in all the selection operators.

drw_batch_cache_generate_requested() is only needed when the geom needs to be
created.
Went from 37fps to 47fps with artificial testcase (lots of bones with one custom shape). Baseline 2.79 is 24fps.
Also fix the drw_shgroup_bone_custom_wire.
As far as I can tell, there is no technical reason why the B-Bone
segment thickness scaling can't be separated into two axes. The
only downside is the increase in complexity of the B-Bone settings,
but this is inevitable due to the increase in flexibility.
Updating the file is somewhat complicated though, because F-Curves
and drivers have to be duplicated and updated to the new names.

Previously B-Bone deformation mapped every vertex to just one
B-Bone segment. This results in abrupt transformation differences
between the sides of each threshold plane, reducing the quality
of B-Bone deformation and making the use of shape keys impractical.
This commit replaces this approach with a linear blend between
the two closest segment transformations, effectively representing
the B-Bone as two weight-blended plain bones for each vertex.
In order to distribute the interpolation more evenly along the
bone, segment matrices for deformation are now computed at points
between the segments and at the ends of the B-Bone. The computation
also uses the true tangents of the Bezier curve for the orientation.
The nodes at the end of the bone require some special handling to
deal with zero-length Bezier handles caused by a zero ease value.
The Copy Transforms constraint now also smoothly interpolates
rotation and scaling along the bone shape when enabled.
The initial version of the patch was submitted by @Sam200.

The root point of a bone is now always drawn unless it is connected to an other bone.

This makes the bones transparent when the object or the viewport display
type is Wireframe. This is in order to make things consistent.
In object mode all bones are fully transparent to not create more visual
noise if the scene is complex.
Another small addition is that the Bounding Box draw mode now works as
expected on armatures.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading

It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Computing the shape of a B-Bone is a quite expensive operation, and
there are multiple constraints that can access this information in
a variety of useful ways. This means computing the shape once per
bone and saving it is good for performance.
Since the shape may depend on the position of up to two other bones,
often in a "cyclic" manner, this computation has to be a separate
node with its own dependencies.

Both original handle types are based on location, and Absolute uses it
in a weird way: the Start handle uses the head, while End uses the tail.
This makes controlling the shape of the B-Bone via control bone rotation
really non-intuitive, especially if trying to add a single control for
the tangent in the middle of a B-Bone chain.
To remedy this, add a new custom handle type that uses the orientation
of the control bone, while completely ignoring location. It is even
possible to control both ends of one B-Bone with the same handle bone,
resulting in an S shape.
