Goal of this commit is to support NGons for boolean modifier
(currently mesh is being tessellated before performing boolean
operation) and also solve the limitation of loosing edge custom
data layers after boolean operation is performed.
Main idea is to make it so boolean modifier uses Carve library
directly via it's C-API, avoiding BSP intermediate level which
was doubling amount of memory needed for the operation and which
also used quite reasonable amount of overhead time.
Perhaps memory usage and CPU usage are the same after all the
features are implemented but we've got support now:
- ORIGINDEX for all the geometry
- Interpolation of edge custom data (seams, crease)
- NGons support
Triangulation rule is changed now as well, so now non-flat
polygons are not being merged back after Carve work. This is
so because it's not so trivial to support for NGons and
having different behavior for quads and NGons is even more
creepy.

Bevel needs the vertex normals to be correct and they are not
normally recalculated after a previous modifier, like mirror.
Adding 'dependsOnNormals' -> returns true to modifier info
for Bevel fixes the problem.
The laplacian modifiers (smooth and deform) use the OpenNL library,
which is not threadsafe due to the use of a global context variable.
Ideally this would be changed so that an explicit context can be
created for every caller of the OpenNL functions, but since OpenNL's
most recent version is from 2010 this is unlikely to happen.
As a workaround for now just use a mutex to prevent conflicting OpenNL
calls. Eventually OpenNL can be replaced by eigen or ceres.
Until now, the "vertex group" limit method in the modifier
only worked for "vertex only" bevels. With this change,
edges with both ends in a vertex group will be beveled
in the non-"vertex only" case.
Also changed the test for being in a vertex group from
"any nonzero weight" to "weight >= 0.5". This is because
cascaded bevels on disjoint vertex groups did not give
disjoint bevels, because weight interpolation would give
non-zero weights to newly created vertices in earlier bevels.
Chose 0.5 because that won't result from interpolation, but
still allows some dilution (e.g., cascaded bevels on the
same vertex group).
This commit introduces the ability to make the Build Modifier operate in reverse,
essentially allowing it to be used as a "deconstruction" effect.
(See D219 for more details about use cases for this)
Issue was caused by solidify modifier using original vertices bitfield
to store tags. This isn't thread-safe obviously. Now use bitmap to store
needed tags.

First of all, it was needed to have that set scenes fix which
was done recently so curve is being evaluated properly on file
load.
And last but not least, also needed to tag DAG node to evaluate
path regardless to curve datablock settings so curve length is
always known.
This solves threading conflict which happens when having
multiple objects using Curve Deform modifier with the same
curve datablock. This conflict was caused by the fact that
curve_deform_verts() used to temporary override curve's
flags to make it path is there.
Actually, it was setting CU_FOLLOW flag temporary which
was only used where_on_path() (only in terms that this
temporary assignment only affected this function) but it
is now commented out for a while, so no reason to set
this flag temporary, If it's ever to be done, we'll need
to pass flags as an additional function argument.
For the path creation i've extended DegNode structure
which now holds extra bits which indicates what additional
data depending on the graph topology is to be evaluated.
Currently this is only used to indicate that curve needs
path to be evaluated regardless to cu->flag state. This
is so Curve Deform modifier is always happy.
In the future this flag might also be used to indicate
whether bmesh verts are to update (see recent commit to
3-vertex parent crash fix) or to indicate that the object
is the motherball etc.
Parameter controls concavity / convexity.
<.25 means: concave inward
.25 means: straight slanted
>.25 means: concave outward
.5 means: circular (the default)
1 means: straight along original sides
For now, there is a hard lower limit of .15
because more work is needed to get decent
results in the range below that.
The profile is actually a superellipse, and the
parameter is 1/4 of the exponent in the implicit equation
for a superellipse, except at the extreme values of 0 and 1.
Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

in some cases.
The smoke modifier now ignores the modifier evaluation for generated texture
coordinates, which would previously cause the undeformed mesh to be cached for
flow objects. Dynamic paint has a similar exception, and other physics systems
avoid it by not being a constructive modifier.
This patch changes most of the reamining degrees usage in internal code into radians.
I let a few which I know off asside, for reasons explained below - and I'm not sure to have found out all of them.
WARNING: this introduces forward incompatibility, which means files saved from this version won't open 100% correctly
in previous versions (a few angle properties would use radians values as degrees...).
Details:
- Data:
-- Lamp.spotsize: Game engine exposed this setting in degrees, to not break the API here I kept it as such
(using getter/setter functions), still using radians internally.
-- Mesh.smoothresh: Didn't touch to this one, as we will hopefully replace it completely by loop normals currently in dev.
- Modifiers:
-- EdgeSplitModifierData.split_angle, BevelModifierData.bevel_angle: Done.
- Postprocessing:
-- WipeVars.angle (sequencer's effect), NodeBokehImage.angle, NodeBoxMask.rotation, NodeEllipseMask.rotation: Done.
- BGE:
-- bConstraintActuator: Orientation type done (the minloc[0] & maxloc[0] cases). Did not touch to 'limit location' type,
it can also limit rotation, but it exposes through RNA the same limit_min/limit_max, which hence
can be either distance or angle values, depending on the mode. Will leave this to BGE team.
-- bSoundActuator.cone_outer_angle_3d, bSoundActuator.cone_inner_angle_3d: Done (note I kept degrees in BGE itself,
as it seems this is the expected value here...).
-- bRadarSensor.angle: Done.

- When existing faces are available use their UV values
- When no faces are connected to an edge - generate UV's
Also add option to stretch U/V to bounds.
