Especially with new undo/redo it is even less recommended to perform
complex operations in those callbacks, they should remain as fast and
localized as possible.
Also updated the section about undo/redo a bit.
We still had a few deprecated assignements of `bpy.props.xxx` to class
members in our API documentation and one of our py tests. Annotations
are to be used now.
Also remove the section about `register_module` utils, this has been
removed in 2.8.
Fix T71877: Python API overview sample code warning: class MyMaterialProps contains a property which should be an annotation!
Fix T71876: Python API overview references old bpy.utils.register_module function
In a separate step, all new functions should be added.
However, the best way to do this, is not clear yet.
A list of functions, that have to be added is available
in D4280.

As exposed in T62406, we can have some rare cases of crashes due to
memory re-allocation happening outside of expected scenarii.
Ideally this should be re-designed, but at least keep track of those
known exceptions to general rules...
* Added a TL;DR first paragraph summarizing that one shall not keep any
reference to Blender data when modifying its container.
* Added some info about fact that adding items to some data containers
(like Collection) can also invalidate existing items (due to array
re-allocation).
* Added a Do/Don't example which shows a crash after adding some items
to a collection.
Related to T61297.
Loop triangles are tessellated triangles create from polygons, for renderers
or exporters that need to match Blender's polygon tesselation exactly. These
are a read-only runtime cache.
Tessfaces are a legacy data structure from before Blender supported n-gons,
and were already mostly removed from the C code.
Details on porting code to loop triangles is in the release notes.

Maybe it's still early to set the new drawing api for python.
But joining these two modules is an initial step.
```
>>> gpu.
matrix
select
types
```
```
>>> gpu.types.GPU
Batch(
OffScreen(
VertBuf(
VertFormat(
```
The creation of a new offscreen object is now done by the `GPUOffscreen.__new__` method.

Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
