This is something what we need to know quite often from various places.
Added it as a cached value in Subdiv itself, so it can be queried easily
from any area.
Shouldn't be a problem from memory usage point of view, it's 4MB per
1M faces coarse mesh. This is very low percentage of mesh itself, and
even lower percentage of highres subdivided mesh.
Adds a displacement support for OpenSubdiov based subsurf object implemented
as a callback which gives vector displacement in object space. Currently is
implemented to calculate displacement based on myltires displacement grids,
but we can support things in the future if needed.
Submitting to review to see if there is something obviously wrong in the
direction (old multires code was sharing same displacement code to both
calculate final displaced mesh and reshape an existing one, which is rather
confusing and probably can be done more cleanly?).

C-API is way smaller than the rest of the code which uses it.
So better to conditionally compile stub implementation than
to keep adding ifdef everywhere.
Previously it was ptex faces which were subdividing to the same
resolution. This was looking like more details for non-quad faces,
but was also causing discontinuity in the edge where quad touches
non-quad polygon.
Now ptex faces which are coming from non-quad faces are subdivided
at a half of resolution, matching old behavior and solving
discontinuity problem.
The idea is to use this as a replacement of old CCG, now it is
based on OpenSubdiv. The goal is to reduce any possible overhead
which was happening with OpenSubdiv used by CCG.
Currently implemented/supported:
- Creation from mesh, including topology on OpenSubdiv side,
its refinement.
- Evaluation of limit point, first order derivatives, normal,
and face-varying data for individual coarse position.
- Evaluation of whole patches.
Currently not optimized, uses evaluation of individual coarse
positions.
- Creation of Mesh from subdiv, with all geometry being real:
all mvert, medge, mloop, and mpoly.
This includes custom data interpolation, but all faces currently
are getting separated (they are converted to ptex patches, which
we need to weld back together).
Still need to support lighter weights grids and such, but this
is already a required part to have subsurf working in the middle
of modifier stack.
Annoying part is ifdef all over the place, to keep it compilable
when OpenSubdiv is disabled. More cleaner approach would be to
have stub API for OpenSubdiv, so everything gets ifdef-ed in a
much fewer places.
