Added an utility function which performs vertex split based on the loop
normal so now backing API matches to what's happening in Cycles and BI
in terms of autosplit.

Note: RNA API can't use size_t at the moment. Once it does this patch
can be tweaked a bit to fully benefit from size_t larger dimensions.

If the active image node contributes to the final material shader
(meaning it's either directly or indirectly connected to an Output Node)
the user will receive an alert about circular dependency.
Similar to what we do for Blender internal the baking will still happen,
but the user will receive the alert which should prevent the image
saving to happen if the result was not intentional.

Note: This makes no change to the user, the render engine (Cycles) still
need to update the progress during baking. But this is the Blender side
of this.
Note: the custom UV option is only available when calling the operator
via a script. It's currently not exposed in the UI since it's intended
to be used by scripters
To test it:
bpy.ops.object.bake(type='UV', use_clear=True, uv_layer='MyNewUV')

Suggestion by Andy Davies (metalliandy) to conform with industry standard (custom cage is something else apparently)
Note: this is the last bake related commit I plan for 2.71/rc (unless
everyone agrees that we could squeeze in D546 - custom UVs, which would
be really nice to add for 2.71 scripters)
Note 2: I'll update the wiki docs shortly
There is a new option to select whether you want to use cage or not.
When not using cage the results will be more similar with Blender
Internal, where the inwards rays (trying to hit the highpoly objects)
don't always come from smooth normals. So if the active object has sharp
edges and an EdgeSplit modifier you get bad corners.
This is useful, however, to bake to planes without the need of adding
extra loops around the edges.
When cage is "on" the user can decide on setting a cage extrusion or to
pick a Custom Cage object. The cage extrusion option works in a
duplicated copy of the active object with EdgeSplit modifiers removed to
inforce smooth normals. The custom cage option takes an object with the
same number of faces as the active object (and the same face ordering).
The custom cage now controls the direction and the origin of the
rays casted to the highpoly objects. The direction is a ray from the
point in the cage mesh to the equivalent point to the base mesh. That
means the face normals are entirely ignored when using a cage object.
For developers:
When using an object cage the ray is calculated from the cage mesh to
the base mesh. It uses the barycentric coordinate from the base mesh UV,
so we expect both meshes to have the same primitive ids (which won't be
the case if the cage gets edited in a destructive way).
That fixes T40023 (giving the expected result when 'use_cage' is false).
Thanks for Andy Davies (metalliandy) for the consulting with normal
baking workflow and extensive testing. His 'stress-test' file will be
added later to our svn tests folder. (The file itself is not public yet
since he still has to add testing notes to it).
Many thanks for the reviewers.

When "Selected to Active" is not on, we bake all the selected objects.
This is the same behaviour we have for Blender Internal.
Dev note: I moved most of the validation tests to outside the bake()
routine so the function can be called in loop.

This should be the final fix for the applyrotation issue. It baffles me
that the fix involves discarding the scale transformations for the
normals but it works so I'm happy with it.

It still warns the user that there may be an error, but the baking goes
on. Also using the new is_uniform_scaled_m4() instead of float comparison.
Reported and fix suggested by Campbell Barton as a concern over 2bfc3deb
This fixes most of the cases, the only situation not addressed is when
the highpoly object(s) has non-uniform scale.
mul_transposed_mat3_m4_v3() should take care of non-uniform scales so
I'm a bit confused on why it doesn't work. The lowpoly object can have
any transformation, the only issue is if the highpoly object has
non-uniform scale.

This reverts commit 97823f6047.
I was to push a fix based on Brecht's solution (this commit) when he did
the same.
This fix is correct, but it misses replacing WM_JOB_TYPE_OBJECT_BAKE
with WM_JOB_OBJECT_BAKE_TEXTURE in the rest of the file, which may lead
to problems when calling the operator in a quickly sucession -
WM_jobs_test also tests for the same type of JOB.
I created WM_JOB_TYPE_OBJECT_BAKE elsewhere, may as well use it. Unless we revert 20c90ea and f194da3.
I'm fine with either way, just trying to get master to work again ;)
