Remove unused OBJECT_OT_mode_set_or_submode, add
OBJECT_OT_mode_set_with_submode which can switch to edit mode as well
as a sub-mode - currently only mesh select mode is supported
(others may be added later).
The voxel remesher introduces a new workflow for sculpting without any of the limitations of Dyntopo (no geometry errors or performance penalty when blocking shapes). It is also useful for simulations and 3D printing.
This commit includes:
- Voxel remesh operator, voxel size mesh property and general remesh flags.
- Paint mask reprojection.
- Geometry undo/redo for sculpt mode. This should support remesh operations as well as future tools that modify the topology of the sculpt in a single step, like trimming tools or mesh insert brushes.
- UI changes in the sculpt topbar and the mesh properties pannel.

Some modifier operators cannot be reliably executed from Edit mode
currently, so disable them from the generic mod ops pool function.
Have been very conservative here from now, keeping existing behavior
most of the time, and only forbidding Edit mode when code was already
doing it in its own way, or when it was obviously not possible.
Better to make internal code naming match official/UI naming to some
extent, this will reduce confusion in the future.
This is 'breaking' scripts and files that would use that feature, but
since it is not yet officially supported nor exposed in 2.80, as far
as that release is concerned, it is effectively
a 'no functional changes' commit.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

Some features are incompatible with multithreading and reliable evaluation
of dependencies. We are now removing them as part of a bigger cleanup to
fix bugs in keyframing and invalid animation evaluations.
* Dupliframes have been removed. This was a hack added before there were
more powerful features like the array modifier.
* Slow parent has been removed, never worked in 2.8. It was always
unreliable for use in production due to depending on whatever frame was
previously evaluated, which was not always the previous frame.
* Particle instanced objects used to have their transform evaluated at
the particle time. Now it always gets the current time transform.
* Boids can no longer do predictive avoidance of force field objects,
but still for other particles.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
In the outliner there are now icons for it, Ctrl+Click isolates a
single collections.
In the 3D view, Ctrl+H key opens a menu that is more or less the
equivalent of the old layer buttons in the header. Regular Click isolates
the collection, Shift+Click toggle the collection visibility. Pressing
number keys and letters works in this menu, which can help for quickly
selecting a specific collection.
Shortcuts for quick switching by just pressing 1/2/3/.. keys are available
again. The order can be confusing with nested collections, but that seems
unavoidable. The first numbers control the top level collections, and then
sub collections if numbers are left.
Remaining design issues:
* The 3D view menu needs to be improved: support for sub collections,
staying open on shift+click, access from the 3D view header somewhere,
shortcut key display.
* Currently collection hiding just controls per-object hiding, we plan
to separate this state still so alt+H doesn't affect collection hiding.
H hides selected objects, Shift+H hides unselected objects, and Alt+H
reveals hidden objects.
This hiding state is distinct from restrict viewport and render, and
meant for temporarily hiding objects without affecting more persistent
collection hiding.
Object hiding is per view-layer, same as selection. It affects the
viewport and any preview renders in there, but not final renders.
In the outliner, different icons are now used for temporary hiding, and
restrict viewport and render. Hidden objects are greyed out.
Remaining design issues:
* For lamps we probably still want to keep their effect on the scene,
currently they are fully disabled by hiding. Arguably mesh lights or
even objects being reflected or casting shadows are not that different
but perhaps the special lamp exception from local view should remain.
* We need a feature still to disabled this hiding for specific viewports,
for render or animation preview where you want to see the entire scene
while working in another view.
* We need a new icon for restrict viewport, for now it uses a grid similar
to the 2.4 icon.
* Hiding objects does not preserve selection state as it did in 2.7,
it's probably convenient to support this again?
- Use Tab key for search.
- Number keys switch modes.
- The number of the current mode can open a submode menu
(currently only works for edit-mode)
- Ctrl-Tab, Ctrl-Shift-Tab - cycle workspaces.
OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
Use Shift+G > Collection. If there is only one collection, it just selects it,
if there are multiple ones user get to pick which one to select.
This is the same behaviour we have for groups. Note, we only select objects
directly in the collection, not the ones in any nested collection.
Feature suggested by Pablo Vazquez (venomgfx)
How to use: Select a few objects, and press "M" in the viewport.
If you hold ctrl the objects will be added to the selected collection.
Otherwise they are removed from all their original collections and moved
to the selected one instead.
Development Notes
=================
The ideal solution would be to implement an elegant generic multi-level
menu system similar to toolbox_generic() in 2.49.
Instead I used `uiItemMenuF` to acchieve the required nesting of the menus.
The downside is that `uiItemMenuF` requires the data its callback uses to be
always valid until the menu is discarded. But since there is no callback we
can call when the menu is discarded for operators that exited with
`OPERATOR_INTERFACE`.
That means we are using static allocated data, that is only freed next time
the operator is called. Which also means there will always be some
memory leakage.

You can now override loc/rot/scale of objects and posebones.
Also added a basic operator to make an override of active linked object,
but this is very limited/wip/testing feature (you have to manually override
object and its armature, and relink to proper local overrides
yourself...). Final 'make proxy killer' will be much more automated of
course.
- New manipulator tracks lamps to position under cursor.
- Works with multiple lamps, keeping relative offsets.
- Holding Ctrl moves the lamp.
- Access via manipulator or Shift-T.
Code could be improved, but like to get feedback from users.
Add face maps, needed for face-map widgets,
only data structure, widgets will be separate commit.
This comes from 'custom-manipulator' branch with only minor changes.

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
