No functional change, this adds LIB definition and args to cmake files.
Without this it's difficult to migrate away from 'BLENDER_SORTED_LIBS'
since there are many platforms/configurations that could break when
changing linking order.
Manually add and enable WITHOUT_SORTED_LIBS to try building
without sorted libs (currently fails since all variables are empty).
This check will eventually be removed.
See T46725.
GCC 9 started implementing the OpenMP 4.0 and later behavior. When not using
default clause or when using default(shared), this makes no difference, but
if using default(none), previously the choice was not specify the const
qualified variables on the construct at all, or specify in firstprivate
clause. In GCC 9 as well as for OpenMP 4.0 compliance, those variables need
to be specified on constructs in which they are used, either in shared or
in firstprivate clause. Specifying them in firstprivate clause is one way to
achieve compatibility with both older GCC versions and GCC 9,
another option is to drop the default(none) clause.
This patch thus drops the default(none) clause.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3
Fixes T51301

Some elbeem debug functions had old gl drawing calls. I removed the
functions instead of converting, because Blender doesn't even build
with them enabled anymore, because some elbeem debug libs got removed
at some point.
Part of T49043
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.
Fixes for clamp-omp, fewer shared variables, fix some cases of threads writing
to the same memory location. Issue found by Jens Verwiebe, who reports 30%
speedup with 16 core CPU, when using this with a recent clang-omp version.
This mainly touches extern libraries and few debug-only places in intern.
Some summary:
- External libraries are not strict at all about missing declarations,
so we can rather safely remove such warning together with other strict
flags.
- Bullet has some static functions which are not used.
Those were commented out.
- Carve now has some unused debug-only functions commented out as well.
While we're on the way of getting rid of Carve, it makes sense to make
things a bit cleaner for the time being.
- In LZMA we have some parts disabled which gives some set but unused
variables which is rather correct.
- Elbeem had quite some variables set and never used because their usage
is inside of debug-only code which is commented out.
Note about patching upstream libraries: surely one might say that we
have to make local patchset against this, but own experience says it
only gives extra work trying to merge such tweaks to a new upstream
version and usually it's just faster to re-apply such fixes again after
bundling new upstream library.
While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

Changes for VC2013
Now, I can build Blender with VC2013 with Cycles, Collada, OpenExr,OpenImageIO disabled. Also, you need VC2008 sp1 installed to make old libs compatible.
Global OpenMP threads override is not a good idea because this would affect
all possible OpenMP blocks running at the same time as simulation.
And that was actually a big on restoring number of threads: code needed to
store current number of threads, not maximal one.
