It doesn't make any sense anymore with the current depsgraph and probably was
not useful for a long time, just a leftover from the pre 2.04 game engine.
Main issue here is that glBuf* calls were invoked from threads different than
main thread. This caused a crash (since those do not have a GL context active).
Fix here is twofold:
* add an ID buffer in buffer pool that handles pbvh buffers and is freed
from main thread when gpu_buffer_pool_free_unused is called.
* do not create glbuffers in derivedmesh creation routine, rather tag nodes
for update and create those in the draw function
(guaranteed to be called from main thread)

Issue seems to be caused by thread-unsafe IMB_freeImBuf.
Now use generic BKE_image_release_ibuf to de-reference
image buffer which was acquired from image datablock.
Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

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.

Summary:
Behaves very much the same as cache for Movie Clip datablock:
- Image now have `MovieCache *cache` field which replaced
legacy `ListBase ibufs`.
This allows image datablock to easily keep of image
buffers which are owned by itself. This field isn't
saved to the file and getting restored on undo steps.
However, cache limit is global for movies, sequences
and image datablocks now. So overall cached image buffers
size will not go above cache limit size in user
preferences.
- Image buffers which are marked as BITMAPDIRTY will never
be freed from the cache.
- Added utility function to iterate over image buffers
saved in movie cache.
- Movie cache cleanup check callback now have ImBuf argument
which can be used in a condition of cleanup.
- Added some utility functions which replaces legacy ibufs
iterations with image cache iteration which happens from
inside a lock.
- Fixed `image_mem_size()` which was only counting one of
the buffers if both float and byte buffer present.
Additional notes:
- `BKE_image_get_first_ibuf()` is rather stupid, but direct
access to ibufs->first was also the same stupid idea.
Would consider avoid this function is another project.
- There are some places which doesn't look threadsafe, but
they already were not so much threadsafe anyway before.
So think not a big deal with solving this later.
Finally solves infinite memory usage by image sequences! :)

This patch changes most of the reamining degrees usage in internal code into radians.
I let a few which I know off asside, for reasons explained below - and I'm not sure to have found out all of them.
WARNING: this introduces forward incompatibility, which means files saved from this version won't open 100% correctly
in previous versions (a few angle properties would use radians values as degrees...).
Details:
- Data:
-- Lamp.spotsize: Game engine exposed this setting in degrees, to not break the API here I kept it as such
(using getter/setter functions), still using radians internally.
-- Mesh.smoothresh: Didn't touch to this one, as we will hopefully replace it completely by loop normals currently in dev.
- Modifiers:
-- EdgeSplitModifierData.split_angle, BevelModifierData.bevel_angle: Done.
- Postprocessing:
-- WipeVars.angle (sequencer's effect), NodeBokehImage.angle, NodeBoxMask.rotation, NodeEllipseMask.rotation: Done.
- BGE:
-- bConstraintActuator: Orientation type done (the minloc[0] & maxloc[0] cases). Did not touch to 'limit location' type,
it can also limit rotation, but it exposes through RNA the same limit_min/limit_max, which hence
can be either distance or angle values, depending on the mode. Will leave this to BGE team.
-- bSoundActuator.cone_outer_angle_3d, bSoundActuator.cone_inner_angle_3d: Done (note I kept degrees in BGE itself,
as it seems this is the expected value here...).
-- bRadarSensor.angle: Done.

For now this provides the following outputs:
- Color
- Light Vector
- Distance
- Shadow
- Visibility Factor
Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy. Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
produces the exact same result as the Lambert shader.
Many thanks to Brecht for code review and discussion!
Disabling display lists for legacy ATI cards since they don't support display lists well.
Also removing an unused variable from the display list rasterizer.
Code in GPU_buffers_free was already trying to be safe
for threading, by skipping OGL calls there, but in fact
it was still buggy.
Namely, freeing was doing buffers shift in a cycle, and
if two threads will call this function shifting will go
crazy.
Now made it so GPU_buffers_alloc and GPU_buffers_free
are using mutex lock, so they're completely safe for
threading. Same goes to gpu_buffer_setup function.
It required minor functions reshuffle, so there're no
locks happening from locked thread, but it's all very
straightforward change

to do this, or to think that our pool is somehow much faster than using the OpenGL

Check if texture is over user preference or GPU limit in texture paint
mode and if it is, scale the partial redraw rectangle before uploading
to GPU. This should be faster than rescaling the whole texture.
