For clarity sake, the batch cache now uses exclusively per Loop attributes.
While this is a bit of a waste of VRAM (for the few case where per vert
attribs are enough) it reduces the complexity and amount of overall VBO
to update in general situations.
This patch also makes the VertexBuffers filling multithreaded. This make
the update of dense meshes a bit faster. The main bottleneck is the
IndexBuffers update which cannot be multithreaded efficiently (have to
increment a counter and/or do a final sorting pass).
We introduce the concept of "extract" functions/step.
All extract functions are executed in one thread each and if possible,
using multiple thread for looping over all elements.

The voxel remesher introduces a new workflow for sculpting without any of the limitations of Dyntopo (no geometry errors or performance penalty when blocking shapes). It is also useful for simulations and 3D printing.
This commit includes:
- Voxel remesh operator, voxel size mesh property and general remesh flags.
- Paint mask reprojection.
- Geometry undo/redo for sculpt mode. This should support remesh operations as well as future tools that modify the topology of the sculpt in a single step, like trimming tools or mesh insert brushes.
- UI changes in the sculpt topbar and the mesh properties pannel.

When a button represents the whole array (e.g. color picker buttons),
these context menu options were available, but didn't really work
correctly. Since it's not clear how they could reasonably work without
a valid index, it's better to hide them.
This is quite an old comment, recent IDE's/editors
should be able to handle escaped quotes in strings.
If kludges like this are needed, developers should note exactly why.
We need a custom 'apply override' callback here to prevent resetting
the inverse parent matrix.
Things are now working for basic cases, but complex ones (in production
rigs e.g.) are still partially broken...
The most common use of the text editor seems to be for scripting. Having
line numbers and syntax highlighting enabled by default seems sensible.
Syntax highlighting is now enabled by default, but is automatically
disabled when the datablock has a non-highlighted extension.
Highlighting is enabled for filenames like:
- Text
- Text.001
- somefile.py
and is automatically disabled when the datablock has an extension for
which Blender has no syntax highlighter registered.

To reproduce:
* Split 3D View to show Info Editor
* Change 3D View a few times to various subtypes (Timeline, UV Editor
etc).
Every now and then, the Info Editor should show `UNKNOWN ENUM`. Other

Previously, we had one global `GPU_matrix` stack, so the API was not
thread safe. This patch makes the stack be per `GPUContext`, effectively
making it local per thread (`GPUContext` is located in thread local
storage).

This commit also provide a compatibility code that will convert old
materials using Additive or Multiply Blend mode to their node equivalent.
This conversion is only done on outputs that are enabled for eevee.
Alpha blended Transparency is now using dual source blending making it
fully compatible with cycles Transparent BSDF.
Multiply and additive blend mode can be achieved using some nodes and are
going to be removed.
To fully support storing colors as a custom property, it is necessary
to allow switching the property UI to the standard color picker button.
That means in effect supporting custom property subtype values.
Change RNA_property_subtype to look for a 'subtype' string field
in _RNA_UI and parse it as an enum value. To minimize performance
impact, only do it if the property is an array; also, don't use
the custom subtype during RNA path parsing.
On the python side, allow setting some most useful seeming values
from the custom property settings editor.
Also, since some color picker code seems to run into a risk of
buffer overruns if the array size is wrong, check the size in
the UI layout code to be safe.

If the option is enabled, the output is clamped to the target range.
The target range is [To Min, To Max]. The option is enabled by default.
The clamp option is implemented in EEVEE by linking to the `clamp_value`
GLSL function. And it is implemented in Cycles using a graph expand
function.

The calls to `BKE_animsys_evaluate_all_animation()` and
`BKE_mask_evaluate_all_masks()` used the wrong timecode to evaluate the
animation system. This happened:
- Sequencer in scene A was rendered at frame X.
- Scene strip for scene B which should be evaluated at frame Y.
- BKE_animsys_evaluate_all_animation() was called with frame Y, which
also re-evaluated the animation data in scene A.
- Other sequencer strips with animated values were then evaluated for
frame Y and not frame X.
Since the depsgraph for rendering the scene strip is already OK and does
its job, it's no longer necessary to re-evaluate all the animation in
this way.
Removed `BKE_mask_evaluate_all_masks()` because it's no longer used.

In some rare cases it is convenient to store a short array value
as a custom property, e.g. a vector or color. For example, it may
be helpful when importing/exporting certain formats that support
custom or nonstandard attributes on objects.
The custom property storage already can handle arrays in order to
support properties defined via python. The only thing missing is
UI support (and some bugs), and this patch fixes that:
- Allow editing short array properties via Custom Properties panel.
- Fix a UI layout sizing bug triggered by the previous item.
- Fix a dependency graph bug with drivers using such properties.
- Make RNA_*_get_default_array code robust in case of size mismatch.
- Support custom default values for array properties, allowing
both an array and a scalar value.

i18n code does not work from threads on some plaforms, so it is disabled
in Blender when called from non-main thread.
Means that we have to go to a slightly different approach, with dirty
tag and generating string on request for UI.
Note: Also had to update the `info` string size, to fit with expensive
asiatic scripts in utf-8... Using mem for that kind of runtime data is
not really nice, but for now it will have to do.
Make the transforms section of the properties panel consistent with
the transforms section of the side-bar, and to expose some currently
hidden BBone properties in the Bendy Bone section.
- Object transformations were not consistent with Pose Bone
transformations in that they did not use single-column layout.
- Even in Pose Bone transformations,
the rotation mode option was after Scale.
- Edit Bone Transforms panel included "Tail Radius" and
"Envelope Deform Distance", neither of which belong there. See T65670.
- Expose bbone_x and bbone_z.

This fixes inconsistencies in materials between objects and obdata
due to placeholders generation for missing libdata.
Note that we cannot do that when generating the obdata placeholder,
as not all objects using it might be already loaded...
So this has to be done near the end of the reading/linking process.

'cached' particles (for paths actually) are only generated for some kind

Note that we could probably just use directly `totpart` and `totchild`,
but keeping code as close to what it was as possible, for now...
