Needed for situations when we can't use the orientation.
With extrude the initial extrusion recalculates normals for edges
and vertices which then don't give a useful axis.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
Note that due to RNA get/setters issue, that one may actually add some
G.main usages to the total... But at least it's not hidden anymore in a
very low-level, dark corner of BKE pointcache code!
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
574c0fe38f caused complications
restoring the cursor.
Use WM_cursor_modal_set/restore which is intended for operator use,
calling ED_region_cursor_set after an operator runs isn't reliable.
Existing code checked pose/edit mode to check for transforming in an
objects local space.
This added many similar checks all over the code,
which leads to confusion.
Multi-edit caused a regression in UV transform since where UV's
had the object matrix applied by accident.
Now there is a boolean to use a local matrix,
this allows for any mode to have a 4x4 matrix
applied w/o adding mode specific checks everywhere.
Applied similar fix to T54233 to get the "Record with NLA" feature working with
active action blending + influence settings. Extrapolation is explicitly ignored
though, as it shouldn't be used with this feature (i.e. it is already disabled
with the new strips and also on the animdata by default)
ViewRender was removed, which means we can't get the render engine for files
saved in 2.8. We assume that any files saved in 2.8 were intended to use Eevee
and set the engine to that.
A fix included with this is that .blend thumbails now draw with Clay mode,
and never Eevee or Cycles. These were drawn with solid mode in 2.7, and should
be very fast and not e.g. load heavy image textures.

The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.
