This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
They were added as placeholder to show something until they lazy-load.
But since the load is fast and it's hard to fit the text, and their name
is displayed already in the tooltip, we can do without for now.
In the future when we have insta-tooltips we should make them use this.
Replaced the draw world option with a shading.background_type enum.
Where the user can select Theme, World or a Custom color.
World and theme colors do not always work in workbench. We needed to
have an option what the user could control locally (per viewport).
Especially when using linked data.
I removed the world background drawing from the draw_manager. It was never used as EEVEE and Workbench both override the logic.
Not 100% sure about the naming of Theme, World, Viewport.
In other parts of blender's codebase World is sometimes called Scene.
Will stick to the names that describes its location best.

This is intended for quick renders for previsualization, animation previews
or sequencer previews. It provides the same settings as found in the 3D view
Shading popover in solid display mode, but in the scene render properties.
The "Workbench" engine was removed, and this name no longer appears in the
user interface, it's purely an internal name. We might come up with a better
name for this OpenGL engine still, but it's good to be consistent with the
OpenGL Render operator name since this has a similar purpose.
This better aligns the matcap/hdri browser, rotation/background sliders and
preferences/flip matcap button.
The remaining sub-panels are not perfeclty aligned yet, once the sub-panels
separation is more prominent (and they can be collapsed) we can align those.
Thanks devtalk forum for feedback!
- Rename "Viewport Info" to "Text Info".
Name was too vague, nearly everything is information,
this currently only controls overlay text.
- Swap text-info & 3D-cursor, making 3D-cursor less prominent.
This brings the Object Visibility dropdown closer to overlays which
also controls visibility of elements int he viewport, so it makes more
sense there. Also placing the Overlays settings closer to the viewport.
Sub-panels for shading, measurement, normals, freestyle and developer.
Less-used sub-panels will be collapsed by default once their implementation
is complete (fixing spacing between sub-panels, adding the triangle to collapse, etc).
Also added missing check for overlays on/off on existing sub-panels.
* Unify X-Ray/Shadow toggle and factor, using the whole width gives you finer control
* Shadow settings next to intensity slider
* Cavity settings next to Ridge/Valley sliders
* Collapse Cavity settings when not used
* Make MatCap preview and browser dialog smaller. MatCaps are added by the user
so she is already familiar with how they look. No need to preview them that big
while browsing. To see the MatCaps in detail we have the User Preferences/Asset Manager.
Having popovers inside popovers triggers some minor glitches that will be addressed later.
(e.g. they open on mouse over and the popover arrow is not aligned)
Group Object Type Visibility with the viewport settings in the header.
The eye icon is a placeholder. A new icon is needed to better communicate
the user at a glance if all (or none) object types are enabled, or why certain types
are not visible/selectable in the viewport.
Part of design: T55863
When tweaking the shading/overlays settings through the popovers,
these get on the way of the content in the viewport. Making it hard to
see the result of our changes.
Unfortunately this breaks consistency with other headers where the snapping
tools are aligned to the right, but the benefits outweigh the costs.
Organize content in categories/sub-panels.
The result is a more organized but slightly taller popover.
Once sub-panels are implemented code-wise, the alignment issues
(like panel label) and extra space between the content and panels
headers will be reduced. Together with the ability to have certain
less-used popovers collapsed by default, this will make the
popover more compact.
Part of design: T55863
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
Now we light with just a user defined HDRI by default, which is useful
for material setup and texture painting and lighting without having to
set up any scene lights.
Previously it would use the scene world without lights by default, which
in some files is just black.
Trying to have a single option for this is too likely to be
insufficient in some cases.
Instead, support object type visibility & selectability per view-port.
