This is a bug in the multithreaded task manager in negative value range.
The problem here is that if previter is unsigned, the comparison in the
return statement is unsigned, and works incorrectly if stop < 0 &&
iter >= 0. This in turn can happen if stop is close to 0, because this
code is designed to overrun the stop by chunk_size*num_threads as
the threads terminate.
This probably should go into 2.78 as it prevents a crash.
It's becoming annoying to have public API dependent on build type
and everything. Let's just always have API defined and do stubs
in the function implementation instead.
This commit contains all the changes required for most optimal maximum threads
number bump. This is needed to avoid possibly unneeded initialization or data
allocation on systems with lower threads count.
TODO: Still need to review arrays in render data structures from render_types.h,
P.S. We might remove actual bump of max threads from this patch, so when we'll
be applying the patch we can do all the preparation work and then do actual
bump of max threads.

Two were actual bugs, though they existed only in unused code:
* In Freestyle it was unintentionally copying a scene rather than referencing it.
* In BLI_array_store_is_valid there was use of uninitialized memory.
changes in BLI_kdopbvh:
- `BLI_bvhtree_find_nearest_to_ray` now takes is_ray_normalized and scale argument.
- `BLI_bvhtree_find_nearest_to_ray_angle` has been added (use for perspective view).
changes in BLI_bvhutils:
- `bvhtree_from_editmesh_edges_ex` was added.
changes in math_geom:
- `dist_squared_ray_to_seg_v3` was added.
other changes:
- `do_ray_start_correction` is no longer necessary to snap to verts.
- the way in which the test of depth was done before is being simulated in callbacks.
So the error seems to be in cubic_tangent_factor_circle_v3(),
which was introduced with D2001.
I've tweaked the most obvious culprit here - the epsilon factor.
It used to be 10^-7, but I've reduced it down to 10^-5 now,
and it's looking a lot more stable now :)

BTW, about the derivation of the magic 0.390464 factor I briefly subbed back
as a workaround for this bug, see:

Regression from recent rB2c5dc66d5effd4072f438afb, if last item of last chunk of a mempool was valid,
it would not be returned by mempool iterator step, which would always return NULL in that case.
