980dd43bd4 Particles: give emitter its own state
High quality emitters need to maintain state themselves. For example,
this it needs to remember when it spawned the last particle.
This is especially important when the birth rate is changing over time.
Otherwise, there will be very visible artifacts.

It is quite likely that other components of the simulation need their own
state as well. Therefore, I refactored the `SimulationState` type a bit,
to make it more extensible. Instead of using hardcoded type numbers, a
string is used to identify the state type. Also, instead of having switch
statements in many places, there is a new `SimulationStateType` that
encapsulates information about how a specific state is created/freed/copied/...

I removed the integration with the point cache for now, because it was
not used anyway in it's current state.

5063820c9b Particles: Emit particles over time
This adds a basic internal emitter for every particle simulation.
The emitter cannot be controlled by the user yet. That will
come next.

2679236047 Cleanup: avoid static initialization order issues when accessing CPPTypes
Instead of depending on static initialization order of globals use
static variables within functions. Those are initialized on first use.
This is every so slighly less efficient, but avoids a full class of problems.

3ef59121a4 Simulation: move initial simulation code from bf_blenkernel to bf_simulation
I removed bf_blenkernel from `nodes/CMakeLists.txt` again (added it yesterday),
because now this was causing me unresolved symbol errors... Without it, cmake
seems to link the libraries bf_simulation, bf_blenkernel and bf_nodes in the right
order. Not sure if that is just luck or if it is guaranteed.

It was possible to fix the issue by using cmakes `LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY`,
but that is probably bad style.
