Currently constraints can only read the location along the
spline. This obviously limits opportunities for complex bone
interactions in rigs.
This patch exposes access to rotation and scale as well in
Copy Transforms. However, due to the way how things work,
this data cannot be smoothly interpolated, and abruptly
changes when switching to the next segment.

Scale is a multiplicative quantity, so adding it doesn't make sense.
However, for backward compatibility reasons, and in case somebody
actually desires the old additive behavior, the old way remains as
an option.
Without this change the only way to properly combine scale is via
parenting or the complicated Transformation constraint.
The new mode is turned on by a flag for file compatibility, but the
RNA option is reversed so that the new behavior feels more default.

Some constraints have an option to take the final bezier shape of
the target B-Bone into account. This shape usually depends on two
other bones in addition to the target itself, so the graph should
include the relevant dependencies.

For users it defines how accurate vertex positions are in terms
of limit surface (as in, how close the vertices locations to the
condition when they are calculated for an infinitely subdivided
mesh).
This affects things like:
- Irregular vertices (joint of 3 or more edges)
- Crease
Keep quality value low for performance.
NOTE: Going higher does not necessarily mean real improvement
in quality, ideal case might be reached well before maximum
quality of 10. Quality of 3 is a good starting point.
Internally quality is translated directly to adaptive subdivision
level.

Beautiful example of typo going unoticed and firing back up in totally
unexpected place years later. Guess nobody actually duplicated a Clip
data-block before! :P
Most likely own fault, during refactor of ID copying code.
There are following reasons to do so:
- The plan is to replace it with some sort of object or viewport option,
so we can apply OpenSubdiv subdivisions on top of modifier stack and
keep modifier stack purely CPU side.
This will solve issues when adding some relation in scene will force
modifier to be evaluated on CPU.
- With new upcoming OpenSubdiv based CPU modifier implementation we can
cache topology similar to what GPU side was doing, which will already
be reasonably faster.
- OpenSubdiv GPU does not work since the OpenGL version bump, and is
to be rewritten with all the adaptive refine options kept in mind.
Since OpenSubdiv GPU was already broken and was only causing object
to become invisible, there is no reason to keep having that option in
the modifier.

This replaces old single toggle option to subdivide UVs with
an enum which can have more options. The usecase for this is
to be compatible with other software. But we also might choose
different subdivision type as default in the future.
DNA and underlying code supports all possible options, but
only the ones which are compatible with old subdivision code
are currently exposes.

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.
new background image/clip of Camera ID was totally wrong, down the old,
broken 'way it used to be' instead of using new, more generic system.
Those ID pointers were not even added to library_query.c file, shame! xD
Enabled infinite sharp patches for topology refiner and evaluator,
which allows to have sharp edge at first subdivision level.
Also tweaked crease export from Blender to OpenSubdiv to have more
artistic control over the whole 0..1 range.
The idea is simple: do not provide full topology to OpenSubdiv, leave
edges creation to OpenSubdiv itself. This solves issues with non-manifold
meshes which were known to fail, including the ones from T52059.
On a positive side we can simplify our side of converter, keeping code
shorter.
it is still possible that we'll need to ensure all loops has same
winding, but that is less things to worry about.
Applies to vertices and edges. Biggest annoyance here is that OpenSubdiv's
topology converter expects that there is no loose geometry, otherwise it
is getting confused.
For now solution is to create some sort of mapping from real Mesh vertex
and edge index to a non-loose-index. Now the annoying part is that this
is an extra step to calculate before we can compare topology, meaning FPS
will not be as great as if we knew for sure that topology didn't change.
Loose edges subdivision is different from what it used to be with old
subdivision code, but probably nice feature now is that endpoints of loose
edges are stay at the coarse vertex locations. This allows to have things
like plane with hair strands, without need to duplicate edge vertices at
endpoints.
All this required some re-work of topology refiner creation, which is now
only passing edges and vertices which are adjacent to face. This is how
topology refiner is supposed to be used, and this is how its validator
also works. Vertices which are adjacent to loose edges are marked as
infinite sharp. This seems to be good-enough approximation for now. In the
future we might tweaks things a bit and push such vertices in average
direction of loose edges, to match old subdivision code closer.
