Full redesign of the cache system used for drawing strokes and handle derived frame data.
Before, the cache was saved in bGPdata and a hash was used to manage several objects with the same datablock.
Old design made the use of particles very inefficient and prone to bugs and segment faults, and especially when this was mixed with onion skinning and multiple objects using same datablock. Also, there were some conflicts with the depsgrah logic (the old design was done before despgraph was in place) that made the use of hash not working.
The new design saves the data in the object runtime struct and avoid the use of any hash to find the right data. This improves the speed and reduce a lot the complexity of the code, memory allocation, hash overload and adds full support for particles and reused datablocks.
The particles can reuse the modifiers and shader effects of the original grease pencil object.
Add the necessary colors and/or alpha components to the theme instead.
Also switch the background for ordinary channels to use the likely
intended theme option, instead of the window background color.
The general rule is that the channel color is drawn full strength in the
channel list on the left, and with alpha in the actual key frame area on
the right. This alpha is also reused with bone group colors.

For now we have categories collection, object, object data, modifiers &
constraints, and shading. The icons can be categorized by adding e.g.
DEF_ICON_OBJECT() in UI_icons.h.
Light themes will need to be updated to use darker colors to keep icons
visible in the outliner.
The appearance is a bit different than 2.79 where the flame was just added
on top of the smoke without correct blending.
Now it's much more realistic and using volumetric integration. You can see
the smoke actually masking the flame.
The other difference is that the flame color was not using proper color
managed blending. Now with the use of filmic it shows bright yellow.
This could be adjusted and displayed as a user parameter in the future.
The grid now can be configured by object because this helps to identify objects and allows to define diferent grid parameters for each objects.
Also added a color option.
Custom handle settings actually affect the B-Bone rest shape,
so they should be changed in Edit mode rather than Pose mode.
This is necessary to be able to display the correct rest shape
of the bone in Edit Mode.
Also, instead of flags, introduce an enum to specify the handle
operation modes, so that new ones could be added later.

Users can select the main unit they want to use now.
Previously the displayed unit always depended on the magnitude of the value.
The old behavior can be restored by switching to the "Adaptive" mode for length, mass and time units.
Meters, kilograms and seconds are the default units for new and old scenes.
The selected unit is also the default unit for user input.
E.g. if cm is selected, whenever the user inputs a unitless number into a field of type length, it will be interpreted as cm.

This commit make the Xray option for the wireframe different from the other
shading mode. This makes it possible to rapidly switch between wireframe +
Xray and Solid mode without Xray.
Xray alpha is also decoupled.
Both variables are duplicated and exposed separately through RNA.
This commit includes several performance, stability, and reliability
improvements to cloth collisions.
Most notably:
* The implementation of a new self-collisions system.
* Multithreading of collision detection.
* Implementation of single sided collisions and normal overrides.
* Replacement of the `plNearestPoints` function from Bullet with a
dedicated solution.
Further, this also includes several bug fixes, and algorithmic
improvements.

In addition to the original map to surface and Keep Above Surface,
add modes that only affect vertices that are inside or outside
the object. This is inspired by the Limit Distance constraint,
and can be useful for crude collision detection in rigs.
The inside/outside test works based on face normals and may not be
completely reliable near 90 degree or sharper angles in the target.

Select minimum of render subdivision levels and 3 for
the initial value of quality. This way we don't force
too much quality for meshes which were not supposed to
be too much quality :)
This makes the Edit Mesh display settings common to all objects. They can
also be set differently per viewport.
Modifying extra data (seams, sharp edges etc...) will no longer set them
automaticaly visible.
Bumping version because we need to force set all extra draw options for
older files.
Since shape keys are stored as raw floating point data, this
unfortunately requires changes to all code that works with it.
An additional complication is that bezier and nurbs control
points have different entry size, and can be mixed in the same
object (and hence shape key buffer).
Shape key entries are changed from:
bezier: float v1[3], v2[3], v3[3], tilt, pad, pad;
nurbs: float vec[3], tilt;
To:
bezier: float v1[3], v2[3], v3[3], tilt, radius, pad;
nurbs: float vec[3], tilt, radius, pad;
The official shape key element size is changed to 3 floats,
with 4 elements for bezier nodes, and 2 for nurbs. This also
means that the element count is not equal to the vertex count
anymore.
While searching for all curve Shape Key code, I also found that
BKE_curve_transform_ex and BKE_curve_translate were broken. This
can be seen by trying to change the Origin of a Curve with keys.

Terms get/set don't make much sense when casting values.
Name macros so the conversion is obvious,
use common prefix for easier completion.
- GET_INT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_INT
- SET_INT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_INT
- GET_UINT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_UINT
- SET_UINT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_UINT
These can now be acessed from the File > New, Ctrl+N, or the splash screen.
Since these are application templates, users can save a separate startup.blend
for each. User preferences are shared between these templates though.
This also fixes some issues in the default startup.blend (triangulated cube..).

The goal here is to make app templates usable for default templates
that we can ship with Blender. These only have a custom startup.blend
currently and so are quite limited compared to app templates that fully
customize Blender.
But still it seems like the same kind of concept where we should be
sharing the code and UI. It is useful to be able to save a startup.blend
per template, and I can imagine some scripting being useful in the future
as well.
Changes made:
* File > New and Ctrl+N now list the templates, replacing a separate
Application Templates menu that was not as easy to discover.
* File menu now shows name of active template above Save Startup File
and Load Factory Settings to indicate these are saved/loaded per
template.
* The "Default" template was renamed to "General".
* Workspaces can now be added from any of the template startup.blend
files when clicking the (+) button in the topbar.
* User preferences are now fully shared between app templates, unless
the template includes a custom userpref.blend. I think this will be
useful in general, not all app templates need their own keymaps for
example.
* Previously Save User Preferences would save the current app template
and then Blender would start using that template by default. I've
disabled this, to me it seems it was unintentional, or at least not
clear at all that saving user preferences also makes the current

Recently @sergey found that hard-coding evaluation of certain very
common driver expressions without calling the Python interpreter
produces a 30-40% performance improvement. Since hard-coding is
obviously not suitable for production, I implemented a proper
parser and interpreter for simple arithmetic expressions in C.
The evaluator supports +, -, *, /, (), ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=,
and, or, not, ternary if; driver variables, frame, pi, True, False,
and a subset of standard math functions that seem most useful.
Booleans are represented as numbers, since within the supported
operation set it seems to be impossible to distinguish True/False
from 1.0/0.0. Boolean operations properly implement lazy evaluation
with jumps, and comparisons support chaining like 'a < b < c...'.
Expressions are parsed into a very simple stack machine program
that can then be safely evaluated in multiple threads.

It's more convenient to keep version patching in the same place,
this also splits out some function calls from version patching
and supports updating UserDef structs besides the 'U'l global.
