After recent refactors to mesh normals (cfa53e0fbe), they are no
longer stored in CustomData. A mechanism to compute them eagerly
should be implemented another way.
The "PROP" in the name reflects its generic status, and removing
"LOOP" makes sense because it is no longer associated with just
mesh face corners. In general the goal is to remove extra semantic
meaning from the custom data types.
This commit renames `mesh_validate.cc` to `mesh_calc_edges.cc`.
I would like to move `mesh_validate.c` to C++, but it makes sense to
keep this specific algorithm in a smaller file.

This namespace groups threading related functions/classes. This avoids
adding more threading related stuff to the blender namespace. Also it
makes naming a bit easier, e.g. the c++ version of BLI_task_isolate could
become blender::threading::isolate_task or something similar.

This is a follow up commit for rB309c919ee9.
Clearing hash tables is now parallelized as well. Surprisingly, most of
the time is actually spent in `free` (a couple of milliseconds per call
in my test).
Benchmark of individual functions:
reserve_hash_maps: 17%
add_polygon_edges_to_hash_maps: 49%
serialize_and_initialize_deduplicated_edges: 12%
update_edge_indices_in_poly_loops: 14%
clear_hash_tables: 5%
`BKE_mesh_calc_edges` was the main performance bottleneck in D9141.
While openvdb only needed ~115ms, calculating the edges afterwards
took ~960ms. Now with some parallelization this is reduced to ~210ms.
Parallelizing `BKE_mesh_calc_edges` is not entirely trivial, because it
has to perform deduplication and some other things that have to happen
in a certain order. Even though the multithreading improves performance
with more threads, there are diminishing returns when too many threads
are used in this function.
The speedup is mainly achieved by having multiple hash tables that are
filled in parallel. The distribution of the edges to hash tables is based on
a hash (that is different from the hash used in the actual hash tables).
I moved the function to C++, because that made it easier for me to
optimize it. Furthermore, I added `BLI_task.hh` which contains some
light tbb wrappers for parallelization.
