* optimize BM_face_other_edge_loop to do about half as many iterations for quad heavy meshes, with ngons the gain is much more since searching around the entire ngon when the edge already stores its loop is silly.
... also nicer in cases where edge has no face users it avoids a loop on all face corners.
* calculate vertex normals (previously was calculating face normals only)
* clear tessfaces unless theres an argument to build them. since no tessfaces is the default state right now.
* if convert_mfaces_to_mpolys() runs, dont calculate edges, since it already does that.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
* dont check selection and hiddent state (select + hide isnt allowed and api ensures this)
* MESH_OT_noise had incorrect check for texture (checked if slot [0] was filled but then used active texture)
* double default edge allocation size (double the number of verts/faces).
* CustomData_bmesh_init_pool was using allocsize & chunksize as the same variable. Now use type specific chunk size.
* bmesh copy and editmode conversion now allocate the BMesh mempool size needed for the entire vert/edge/loop/face arrays since its known already.
* name bmesh operator func's BMO_slot_buffer_* rather then BMO_slot_* since it wasnt obvious some only dealt with buffer, some both.
* more typechecks and asserts of BMO_ functions (I lost some time calling a map with a buffer function that failed silently).
* small speedup for extrude check - test if the edge is wire _before_ doign a hash lookup.
Extruding an edge where both verts were clipped would not create a face for this edge.
This is ok when a connected face is also extruded but not when the edge is selected on its own.
* add extra argument to BMO_slot_map_to_flag() to filter by vert/edge/face
* made BMO_slot_map_* / BMO_slot_buffer_* functions stricter with type checking.
added some missing functions too - which are not used yep but should be there for api completeness.
* CDDM_set_mloop
* CDDM_set_mpoly
* BLI_mempool_count
* made bmesh_structure.h function names more consistant.
* remove unused code in bmesh_structure.c
* removed 'Edge Flip' operator (missing from bmesh but looked into trunk feature and dont think its worth keeping).
* tagged some BMESH_TODO's
so registering them seems to be kind of useless because things like deleting
edge loops with Shift-R command is impossible.
This commit will resolve issue #30375: Loop Select should not become a Redo History Item.
* better type safety for BM_elem_flag_* and BM_elem_index_* functions.
* add BMElem type to be used where BMFace/Edge/Vert/Loop can be interchanged.
* fix bug in select manifold, found when making functions more strict.
* change BMO_elem_flag_* defines to inline functions.
* BMO_slot_map_insert() is too big for an inline function - un-inline it.
* remove redundant casts.
* added BM_elem_flag_set, BMO_elem_flag_set. to avoid 'if(...) enable(); else disable();' all over the place.
* added bmesh_operator_api_inline.c, the header file was getting messy.
* remove 'select' and 'hide' from BMLoop
* remove BMesh.update
* add BMesh.normal_update(skip_hidden=False)
* add BMElemSet.index_update(), eg: bm.verts.index_update()
bmesh api
* BM_mesh_normals_update() now takes skip_hidden as an argument
(previously this was default behavior), however this isnt good when
using BMesh modifiers, where you want all normals to be recalculated.
* add bm_iter_itype_htype_map[], to get the iter type from a BMesh
iterator.
* Ctrl+Click extrude wasnt normalizing the quaternion (was printing warnings)
* bmesh bevel was supposed to add a float layer and remove, but removing passed the mask define of the customdata layer.
