That kind of implicit includes should really only be done when totally,
absolutely necessary, and ideally only with rather simple 'second-level'
headers.
Otherwise not being explicit with includes always end up biting in
unexpected ways...
The approach of setting 'refresh' flags on the modifier, and performing
the associated actions when the modifier is being evaluated, is a bad
one. Instead, we use the separation of the original and the evaluated
copy to 'refresh' certain things (because they simply aren't set at all
on the original). Other actions are now done directly with BKE_ocean_xxx
functions on the original data, intead of during evaluation.
The flag was only used in readfile.c, and resulted in a delayed call to
BKE_ocean_add(); this call is now immediately made instead as it's not
very expensive.
The contents of the ModifierEvalContext struct are constant while iterating
over the modifier stack. The struct thus should be only created once, outside
any loop over the modifiers.
Makes the follow changes:
- Add new `deform*` and `apply*` function pointers to `ModifierTypeInfo` that take `Mesh`, and rename the old functions to indicate that they take `DerivedMesh`. These new functions are currently set to `NULL` for all modifiers.
- Add wrapper `modifier_deform*` and `modifier_apply*` functions in two variants: one that works with `Mesh` and the other which works with `DerivedMesh` that is named with `*_DM_depercated`. These functions check which type of data the modifier supports and converts if necessary
- Update the rest of Blender to be aware and make use of these new functions
The goal of these changes is to make it possible to port to using `Mesh` incrementally without ever needing to enter into a state where modifiers don't work. After everything has been ported over the old functions and wrappers could be removed.

The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
Based on usages so far:
- Split callback worker func in two, 'basic' and 'extended' versions. The former goes back
to the simplest verion, while the later keeps the 'userdata_chunk', and gets the thread_id too.
- Add use_threading to simple BLI_task_parallel_range(), turns out we need this pretty much systematically,
and allows to get rid of most usages of BLI_task_parallel_range_ex().
- Now BLI_task_parallel_range() expects 'basic' version of callback, while BLI_task_parallel_range_ex()
expectes 'extended' version of the callback.
All in all, this should make common usage of BLI_task_parallel_range simpler (less verbose), and add
access to advanced callback to thread id, which is mandatory in some (future) cases.
Would be true in most cases (and in particular with own generated geometry),
but in case one would be using original geometry this could have crashed badly.
Note that I tried to parallelize the loops porting result of the simulation to the
DM data itself, but that ended up being 20% slower than non-threaded code!
Compared to previous revision, this gives 20% speedup on the whole modifier evaluation!
Wondering a bit how improvement can be so impressive here, would have expected very
small increases given how simple is the code here... Maybe it's the fact we get rid
of many additional OMP threads (tests are done with ten Ocean mod evaluated in parallel)?
Also, fix own stupidity, no need to define ID callback in case we only have objects,
calling code knows to fallback to `foreachObjectLink()` when `foreachIDLink()` is missing...
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
