All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

There were two issues here. One is that the fix done originally for this
bug only checks for colliding with the same face as the single preceeding
hit. If the particle hits an edge or vertex of the collider, it in fact
hits two or more faces, so the loop ends up cycling between first two
of them and reaches the max collision limit.
The fix is to disable the collider for the sim step once a permeability
roll succeeds, by adding it to a skip list. Skipping just one face causes
some particles to bounce at odd angles in case of partial permeability.
The second problem was that the collider bounced back a small percentage
of particles, and the cause seemed to be that the code was set to flip
the velocity if the particle was just past the collider but still within
collision distance. Inverting both values causes a half permeable collider
to stop particles, so it seems that this if branch shouldn't bounce at all.

There were actually two issues, one in recent changes and one existing... forever?
I) id_make_local() would never proceed over indirectly linked data, which is required in specific 'append' context.
II) BKE_image_copy() was not setting id->newid pointer of newly copied ID.
About II: don't really know why image copy does its own cooking instead of using generaic ID copy helpers.
Think this should be changed, but that would be after 2.78 now.
When the colliders are joined, each cell that touches them only gets
velocity contribution once. When there are multiple objects, velocities
are summed, which causes some cells to get 2x, 3x or more than the actual
object velocity.
Fix this by using the average velocity of all colliders touching a cell.

(Re)-setting custom normals could cause some unwanted splitting of some of them, leading
to slightly different tangent space. Simply enlarged slightly the threshold detecting
similar normals as identical ones for now, afarid this is the kind of issue that cannot
get a full complete solution for until we drop floats...
The cause seems to be that despite dt_frac being computed as
1/(subframes+1) with integer subframes value, it doesn't always
add up to exactly 1.0 due to precision limitations. If the sum
is similar to 1.00000???, the last subframe is skipped, and all
particles that were supposed to be emitted in that interval are
emitted next frame, with the code working incorrectly due to
skewed time range.
To fix, separate the code from the dynamic timestep feature that
adjusts the last subframe length into a separate function, and
use it even when dynamic timestep is disabled.
Drivers can use this to refer to the data which the driver is applied to,
useful for objects, bones, to avoid having to create a variable pointing to its self.
This adds the ability for cloth simulations to respect changes in the underlying mesh.
So you can for instance, animate shape keys, armatures, or add any deformation modifiers (above the cloth modifier).
This is mainly useful for (but not limited to) cartoon animations,
where your character might stretch or change shape, and you want the clothes to follow accordingly.

Hating all those not-so-real ID types... Here there were two causes for the issue:
1) Linked shapekey ID was made local twice (once from mesh's make local, once by itself).
Solved by not explicitely making shapekeys (nor any other non-linkable datatype) local.
2) Key->from 'back pointer' to its owner was messing 'still in used' detection of linked data
after localization. Fixed with a hack for now, thinking correct solution might actually
be to not consider this pointer at all in libquery ID looper, since it's nothing like
and actual usage of mesh/lattice/curve.
Again, shapekeys as ID is a joke, those should be mere struct, they have absolutely nothing to do in Main, period. :(
Point 2) still demonstrates the need for better handling of IDs dependencies though,
so far we only hit corner cases, but think there could also be valid cases generating those
'dependency cycles' between IDs (ID a using ID b which uses ID a), this will have to be addressed some day...
Commit rB709ca0ece changed how rotation was handled for particles so
that unless actual rotation physics is enabled, there is no rotation.
However it only updated ptcache_particle_read, forgetting to change
exactly the same code in ptcache_particle_interpolate.
This means that for subframes old code that computes a rotation from
velocity is used, resulting in completely different rotation than for
integer frames. This causes rotational motion blur by itself, and also
mangles motion blur paths of child particles.

Checking a condition right after we’ve checked it (and it hasn’t
changed). Most of these are trivial to understand.
split_quads in convertblender.c:
It seems quads should be processed and triangles should be marked as
not needing split. So I removed the outer vlr->v4 check.

Check to ensure we do not delete last instancing of an indirectly used object (forbidden
because it creates 'ghost' objects user have no real way to re-instance) was defeated by
the backward pointer 'proxy_from', which generated a 'false' indirect usage of (local)
proxy object itself (the one we are trying to delete).
Fixed by actually considering that ID usage as local if proxy object itself is local
(because that pointer actually does not 'pertain' to the object holding it, but to its proxy).
Yeah, it's... complicated, twisted and ugly - it's proxy.
