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.

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.

Thanks to Charlie Jolly (mistajolly@gmail.com) for his patch D3586 that added create materials to opacity modifier.
I had to do some more changes to get all running.
The material created was not right when apply the modifiers.
These errors were related to the material modification from old palette system before the merge and for any reason this code was not changed in the right way.
Also changed the "Create Colors" to "Create Materials" to keep UI names aligned.
Since most animators find Motion Paths more useful than Armature Ghosting:
* Move Motion Paths before Ghosting settings (less scrolling)
* Collapse Ghosting panel by default
* Open Motion Paths panel by default instead
Rendering OpenGL/Preview is accessible from each editor.
Render settings are accessible from the Film menu when in OpenGL/Preview engine.
It wasn't always predictable especially with Workspaces without or with many viewports.
Also reordering of items, renaming and removal of superfluous icons.
Avoid double label for same properties in single-column.
Onion Skinning: Group custom colors together, and frame before/after together.
Small changes to tooltips.
Top bar is only for settings that apply to the next action
not a way to change existing data.
If each stroke could have a different color this would work as expected,
however it was adjusting the current layer color.
Rename "Seq. Strip" to Strip Name, "Sequence Strip" to Use Strip Metadata.
Plus re-arrange of properties and separators for sections.
Thanks @fsiddi for the feedback.
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.
