This commit makes the motion path calculations use the
new Depsgraph Filtering API to obtain a more streamlined
copy of the full scene dependency graph, allowing for
faster calculations (as less data needs to be evaluated
for each frame being baked).
For example, in 01_020_A.anim.blend from the Spring production
files, the time needed to calculate paths on several bones
on Autumn went from 39.84 seconds (!) down to 9.90 seconds!
Currently, this works by just replacing the depsgraph instance
passed to the motion path calculation function. This filtered
instance contains just the ID's needed to evaluate the graph
to evaluate a specified target (i.e. the Object owning the pose).
Notes:
* By default, the filtering is not performed unless debug mode 555
is activated. Having a debug switch here allows comparing
performance and disabling it should thing it start crashing.
* It is necessary to pass in the original Scene instance (not the
COW one owned by the filtered depsgraph), otherwise changing the
current frame had no effect, due to the COW flushing from original
Scene to the new Scene overwriting the CFRA changes we make.
* The code here still needs cleaning up to debugging instrumentation, etc.
and also to optimise further (e.g. caching the filtered depsgraph
for faster updates when animating on existing paths, or fine-tuning
the exact set of nodes needed). I'm just committing this first,
since this was the quickly hacked-together test code I've been using
to check that this is all working.
* Further improvements could also be made to the time needed to
build the full graph instance (about 3.3 sec), by allowing partial
builds (e.g. by making a filtering proxy/wrapper around existing builders)
After clearing motion paths from objects, those objects needed to be
tagged for copy on write so that the copied data (i.e. viewport)
recieve the changes (i.e. removed paths)

This puts the motion path in the same location as the transform gizmo,
which is less confusing especially if you have a custom bone shape where
the tail is not visible.
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
This commit restores support for Motion Path drawing in 2.8 (as it wasn't ported over
to the new draw engines earlier, and the existing space_view3d/drawanimviz.c code was
removed during the Blender Internal removal).
Notes:
* Motion Paths are now implemented as an overlay (enabled by default).
Therefore, you can turn all of them on/off from the "Overlays" popover
* By and large, we have kept the same draw style as was used in 2.7
Further changes can happen later following further design work.
* One change from 2.7 is that thicker lines are used by default (2px vs 1px)
Todo's:
* There are some bad-level calls introduced here (i.e. the actgroup_to_keylist() stuff).
These were introduced to optimise drawing performance (by avoiding full keyframes -> keylist
conversion step on each drawcall). Instead, this has been moved to the calculation step
(in blenkernel). Soon, there will be some cleanups/improvements with those functions,
so until then, we'll keep the bad level calls.

Bone selection overlay is only available in pose mode.
and when active overrules the selection buffer.
This is currently `tricked` by switching the draw engines, but this is
an exception. Not sure how to solve this in a better way.
After this is solved we can look at how to localize the dim effect to only the objects connected to the active armatures. Currently it dims the whole screen (including background).
@campbellbarton I added you as reviewer as it you have done a lot in the DRW_draw_select_loop

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.

This adds initial multi-object editing support.
- Selected objects are used when entering edit & pose modes.
- Selection & tools work on all objects however many tools need porting
See: T54641 for remaining tasks.
Indentation will be done separately.
See patch: D3101
While doing so with Bone_R.001, Bone_R.003, Bone_R.003 etc. is doomed to
issues, doing that on duplicates of actually correctly named bones can
be handy, and safe.
So adding back as an option (was removed in rB702bc5ba26d5).
- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.

This commit introduces the following changes:
* Modified the poll callback on the "Update Paths" operator for bones
so that it only checks if there are bones that have motion paths
(instead of checking whether the active bone has paths).
This makes it easier to update paths without having to first select one
that has them - useful when the paths are all on hidden/hard-to-select bones.
* Add a readonly property, "has_motion_paths" to the animviz.motion_path
RNA struct, providing easier access to the internal flag used above.
This makes it possible for the UI to display the "Update" button without
having to check various bones for motion paths.
Notes:
* The flag being used in these changes already existed, and was only really
intended for internal use. However, since it was already used in many places
for determining if auto-update of all bone paths was needed (e.g. after certain
editing ops), it should be safe to use here too.
* The update_paths operator currently bakes all paths when activated, so there's
currently no loss of functionality with changing to not checking if the active
bone has any paths (e.g. we couldn't only update the active bone only either).
That is still listed as a todo in the code.
This makes code closer to id_override/assent-engine ones, which
introduce a new type of linked data, and hence reserve
ID_IS_LINKED_DATABLOCK to real linked datablocks.
