Now that B-Bone shape data is kept in bPoseChannel_Runtime, the
armature level cache only holds one quaternion value per bone.
It can also be moved to runtime, and the structure removed.
This has an additional effect that, as far as I can tell, now
the Armature modifier can run as soon as all of the bones it
actually needs are done, thus making T59848 a purely depsgraph
level problem.
This way float and multilayer images can now be packed without data loss. This
removes the as_png option and always uses the appropriate file format depending
on the image contents.
Previously, when a fcurve modifier used storage,
many heap allocations were done.
This caused major slowdowns as described in T63656.
Furthermore, the storage usage was a special case only
used by the Cycles modifier. This refactor makes
storage usage the "normal" case.
That reduces the overall complexity.
The storage is stack allocated now.
The framerate on the provided test scene went up from ~5 fps to ~16 fps.

Previously Spline IK provided only two choices: either scale the
length of the bone chain to fit the length of the curve, or don't
scale the bone in the Y dimension at all (ignoring effects of
actually fitting to the curve due to curvature and curve object
scale).
This patch adds a new option to use the pre-IK Y scale of the
bones to adjust their length when fitted to the curve, allowing
individual posing control over the length of the segments.

Having this in blenkernel caused bad level calls to bf_editors_anim,
causing tests that use 'blenkernel' to require almost all libraries.
(complicating gtest linking & causing large binaries).
Mainly, scaling needs to be continuously faded out in these cases.
Plus, in the case of end roll-off, it seems better to integrate into
this general fading system, instead of ad-hoc interpolation of tail.
This commit adds support for drawing Dots strokes with a gradient factor to get artistic effects like watercolor.
Currently, the option is only supported by Dots materials, and in the future will be added to line strokes, but now there is a limitation on drawing engine and we will keep disabled on Line materials.
Also, added the option to align Dots and Boxes strokes textures aligned with the drawing path to get more fluid strokes.
As reported in T63582, it can cause chan_array to be not ready.
To reliably avoid crashing, the only easy way seems to be to
create the index during COW -- maybe @sergey has a better idea.
The bug is caused by problems in the dependency graph. Unfortunately,
fixing is not just a matter of fixing the graph, because correct
dependencies would cause a cycle here and in other reasonable use
cases. The real fix thus requires refactoring Spline IK to require
curve data only in the actual evaluation phase, and not in POSE_INIT_IK.
In addition, this separates the normal bone evaluation loop from
Spline IK computations for two reasons:
- That still needs to be done even if spline IK can't evaluate
due to missing curve data.
- It should reduce issues with induced shearing, as Spline IK now
controls how parent-child relations are handled in the chain, and
can take care to only carry over rotation and location.
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.
Make the option enabled by default, and enable it in old files,
unless Show Extremes is enabled.
However, suppress it for the Timeline, because its View menu
doesn't include the option.

The popover for displaying gizmos now has options for
empty, light & camera gizmos.
Transform toggles are now checkboxes, which has the advantage that it's
more obvious they can be mixed however changing from one to another now
uses 3x clicks instead of a single click-drag action.
We might need a faster way to switch between transform types.
Based on feedback from animators, this is useful to keep as a view
option (as in 2.7x).
Now the transform gizmos can be enabled from the popover,
the tools still work for location/scale/rotation.
The transform tool has been removed.

Previously B-Bone deformation mapped every vertex to just one
B-Bone segment. This results in abrupt transformation differences
between the sides of each threshold plane, reducing the quality
of B-Bone deformation and making the use of shape keys impractical.
This commit replaces this approach with a linear blend between
the two closest segment transformations, effectively representing
the B-Bone as two weight-blended plain bones for each vertex.
In order to distribute the interpolation more evenly along the
bone, segment matrices for deformation are now computed at points
between the segments and at the ends of the B-Bone. The computation
also uses the true tangents of the Bezier curve for the orientation.
The nodes at the end of the bone require some special handling to
deal with zero-length Bezier handles caused by a zero ease value.
The Copy Transforms constraint now also smoothly interpolates
rotation and scaling along the bone shape when enabled.
The initial version of the patch was submitted by @Sam200.

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.
