For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

This type of indices is not natively supported on modern GPU and
gives warning on some implementation. The memory savings it
provides is also quite minimal and unlikely to be visible on
nowadays hardware.
This remove some uneeded struct members and makes primitive
restart always enabled by default. This can be broken by addons
if they are not careful enough but many other states have this
problem.
Also leverage GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART_FIXED_INDEX if
ARB_ES3_compatibility is supported. This removes all API calls
to change restart index depending on indices length.
This is in order to have VAO handled by thoses batches instead of using a
common VAO. Even if the VAO has no importance in these case using a batch
will help when transitioning to Vulkan.
Enabling the drawing of the mesh analysis overlay.
Currently the settings are part of the scene toolsettings. What makes sense,
for 3d printing, but does not fit well with the per viewport blender 2.80
overlays.

Force Displist to Mesh conversion if there is any modifier.
This is until we find a better way to store the batches per objects.
Also fix draw cache functions that were not returning final mesh edges.
This is only working for shading batches for the moment and only if some Custom data layer are not needed anymore.
The collection rate is hardcoded at 60 sec but could be exposed to the user.
This system can be extended and discard most unused batches in the future.
This commit is in prevision of removing BKE_MESH_BATCH_DIRTY_SHADING when changing shader parameters.
When using subsurf (and other modifiers) the edit flags are not
propagated correctly. Currently we assume to read the edit flags
from the original object which is kind off hinding the real issue.
Modifiers use `mesh_new_nomain_from_template_ex` to create a copy
from an existing mesh. this method is only used by modifiers. So
by placing this we will make sure that editmesh is propagated.

Objects that internally uses DispList do not cast shadow in the workbench.
Their outline is also not visible in object mode. The reason for this is
that edge detection was not implemented for Display Lists. This patch will
implement the edge detection.

Note this was broken even in 2.7x.
We had a different logic for the plane wire, as for the plane itself.
And they were both wrong when changing the camera shift or the stereo
pivot.
Both of their logic is now unified and correct.
Also I had to create a new gpu batch for the quad wires, since there is
no state that allows me to filter out the geometry, and the square gpu
batch is quite different than the quad one (2d x 3d and orientation).

This now only upload data per loops to the GPU, making use of index buffer
to draw polygon. This make use of the vertex cache, speed up renders
and saves a lot of vram.
Update performance is also slightly faster and can even be improved further
by updating only uvs or vcol independently.
This commits breaks texture paint batches. It will be added back in another
commit.
This changes a bit the batches data structure. Instead of using one
vbo per material we use one for all material and use index buffers for
selecting the correct triangles.
This is less optimized than before but has potential to become more
optimized by merging the wireframe data vbo into the shading one.
Also the index buffers are not strictly necessary and could be just
ranges inside the buffer. But this needs more adding things inside
GPUIndexBuf.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
