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.

The redundant terms were harmless but check an expression we already
know to be true (from earlier in the same conditional).
Found by PVS-Studio T48917
Replaces `G.is_rendering` with `use_render_params` argument.
This is needed for Cycles, which attempts to restore render-preview settings from particles,
after it gets its own particle data, but fails to restore because
`G.is_rendering` was being checked in psys_cache_paths (and other places).
Newly computed custom normals were forgotten during poly flipping, leading
to wrong custom normals being assigned to wrong loop...
Dead simple, but was tough to track down this one!
This prevents twisted quads from self-intersecting.
This change makes the duplicate surface match the first vertex in the face,
so the diagonal indices match in the face copy.
BKE_main_id_tag_/BKE_main_id_flag_ were horrible naming now that we split those
into flags (for presistent one) and tags (for runtime ones).
Got rid of previous 'tag_' functions behavior (those who were dedicated shortcuts
to set/clear LIB_TAG_DOIT), so now '_tag_' functions affect tags, and '_flag_'
functions affect flags.
That was the main issue (in both T46455 and T46690), solved by 'flattening' those chains (v1 -> v2 ->v3 etc.)
before calling `CDDM_merge_verts()`.
Also added note to `CDDM_merge_verts()` that it does not support chained mapping, along with
a basic assert that should catch most of those cases in future.
The logic of 'following mapping' was also rather broken, making a special case here when using
object-controlled offset is very weak. Further more, blindly following mapping in this case
was far from ideal, this could end to merging vertices rather far from each other.
To address this issue, we now always follow mapping, but only as long as 'final' vertex remains
close enough from mapped one.
Finally, the search of 'closest' vertex to merge with was also quite bad, would just pick the first
one matching distance limit, instead of using the actual closest one - could lead to rather ugly
geometry deformations in case one would use not-so-small merge threashold!
Based on usages so far:
- Split callback worker func in two, 'basic' and 'extended' versions. The former goes back
to the simplest verion, while the later keeps the 'userdata_chunk', and gets the thread_id too.
- Add use_threading to simple BLI_task_parallel_range(), turns out we need this pretty much systematically,
and allows to get rid of most usages of BLI_task_parallel_range_ex().
- Now BLI_task_parallel_range() expects 'basic' version of callback, while BLI_task_parallel_range_ex()
expectes 'extended' version of the callback.
All in all, this should make common usage of BLI_task_parallel_range simpler (less verbose), and add
access to advanced callback to thread id, which is mandatory in some (future) cases.
As in the title. In the smoke version, there was also an extra
'for_render' parameter that wasn't used, and wasn't used by the callers
either, so it was removed altogether.
