This is added in the spirit of the general cycles GLSL system
which is pretty much WIP still.
This will only work on cycles at the moment but generating for blender
internal is possible too of course though it will be done in a separate
commit.
This hasn't been tested with all and every node in cycles, but
environment and regular textures with texture coordinates work.
There is some difference between the way cycles treats some coordinates,
which is in world space and the way GLSL treats them, which is in view
space.
We might want to explore and improve this further in the future.

Include explicit control for texturing:
This commit introduces a painting mode option, available in
the slots panel. The default value "Material" will create slots from the
blender material, same as just merged from the paint branch.
The new option "Image", will use an explicit image field that artists can use
to select the image to paint on. This will should allow painting regardless
of the renderer used or for use in modifiers.
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
This way it's not needed to include BLI_threads.h from the
BKE_main.h which helps avoiding adding PThreads includes to
each library which uses Main on Windows.
From the API point of view it's now MainLock* and to lock or
unlock the main you're to use BKE_main_(un)lock().
This solves compilation error on Windows with SCons.
Added a lock to the Main which is getting acquired and released
when modifying it's lists.
Should not be any functional changes now, it just means Main is
now considered safe without worrying about locks in the callee.
bNodeTree blocks.
This was broken by rB6e99fb0 (own commit). I expected the `do_action`
argument to be of no importance in this case due to node trees using
material animation, but this is not the case.
Anyway, this patch adds back a do_action to the BKE_libblock_copy_nolib
function as well to restore the previous behavior.
The formula was not consistent across Blender and behaved strangely, now it is
a simple linear blend between color1 and min(color1, color2).

- Material property UI related to shadows
- Preparation of OR-ed mode flags (ma->mode_l) of render materials

depsgraph updates.
Material datablocks were localized by first making a regular datablock
copy, which always gets inserted into the bmain list, and then removing
it again from bmain.
Problem is that this localization happens in preview threads, which can
run while the depsgraph is also updating GPU materials. In case the
copying of materials takes any amount of time, this can cause the
depsgraph call to material_changed to use an invalid, localized material
and access invalid GPUMaterial lists which have already been freed for
the actual material.
Solution is to not add localized datablocks to the bmain lists in the
first place. bmain should be totally immutable during preview or render
threads.
The "Cast Shadows" worked as expected, but it can cause problem in some cases.
For example, when using strand render, we need disabling only buffer shadows,
but the previous changes made that impossible. "Cast Shadows" should be added
as a newly created option.
This allows us to make materials that don't cast ray shadows.
Turning off this property can reduce the rendering time slightly.
Note: RNA path is changed to "use_cast_shadows" as well. The older
path "use_cast_buffer_shadows" still can be used as its alias, but
it will be removed after updating some addons.

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.

Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.

I know this is not so much nice to have this guys hanging
around in a general Object datablock and ideally they better
be wrapped around into a structure like DerivedMesh or
something like this. But this is pure runtime only stuff and
we could re-wrap them around later.
Main purpose of this is making curves more thread safe,
so no separate threads will ever start freeing the same path
or the same bevel list.
It also makes sense because path and bevel shall include
deformation coming from modifiers which are applying on
pre-tesselation point and different objects could have
different set of modifiers. This used to be really confusing
in the past and now data which depends on object is stored
in an object, making things clear for understanding even.
This doesn't make curve code fully thread-safe due to
pre-tesselation modifiers still modifies actual nurbs and
lock is still needed in makeDispListsCurveTypes, but this
change makes usage of paths safe for threading.
Once modifiers will stop modifying actual nurbs, curves
will be fully safe for threading.
Actually, this commit also contains wrapping runtime curve
members into own structure
This allows easier assignment on file loading, keeps curve-
specific runtime data grouped and saves couple of bytes in
Object for non-curve types.

also change behavior to remove the material slot, it was only clearning by default but the list length remained the same.
This means main database is no longer pollutes with
temporary scene and objects needed for freestyle
render.
Actually, there're few of separated temporary mains
now. Ideally it's better to use single one, but it's
not so much trivial to pass it to all classes. Not
so big deal actually.
Required some changes to blender kernel, to make it
possible to add object to a given main, also to
check on mesh materials for objects in given main.
This is all straightforward changes.
As an additional, solved issue with main database
being infinitely polluted with text blocks created
by create_lineset_handler function.
This fixes:
- #35003: Freestyle crashes if user expands objects in FRS1_Scene
- #35012: ctrl+f12 rendering crashes when using Freestyle
and RNA for it independent of the build flag for enabling Freestyle. Suggested
by Sergey Sharybin through a code review of the branch.
* Many #ifdef WITH_FREESTYLE blocks were removed to always have Freestyle-specific
DNA file specification and RNA for it built in Blender. This will allow Freestyle
setting survive even when a non-Freestyle build is used for loading and saving
files. It is noted that operations are still conditionally built through #ifdef
WITH_FREESTYLE blocks.
* To this end, new blenkernel files BKE_freestyle.h and intern/freestyle.c have
been added. All API functions in FRS_freestyle_config.h as well as some of those
in FRS_freestyle.h were moved to the new files. Now the relocated API functions
have BKE_ prefix instead of FRS_.
