This allows a duplicator (as known as dupli parent) to be in a visible
collection so its duplicated objects are visible, however while being
invisible for the final render.
An object that is a particle emitter is also considered a duplicator.
Many thanks for the reviewers for the extense feedback.

This statistics is only collected when debug_value is different from 0.
Stored in depsgraph node itself, so we can always have access to average data
and other stats which requires persistent storage. This way we also don't waste
time trying to find stats from a separately stored hash map.
This is something deliver form node type, there is no reason to try cache it
anywhere, especially since it's not used in any performance critical code.
Lighter weight dependency graph is what we want.
The goal is: have id->recalc flags set to components which got changed.
To make it possible for render engines to check on a more granular basis
what changed in the object. For example, is it a transform which changed
or is it just some ID property changed which has nothing to do with rendering.
The tricky part is: we don't want duplicated logic in tagging and flushing.
In order to avoid this duplication, we store ID recalc flag in the component
node type information. That type information could easily be accessed by both
tagging and flushing routines.
Remaining part of the changes are related on changing the way how tagging
works. The new idea here is to have utility function which maps update tag to
a component. This way we can easily set ID recalc flags right away. Without
any duplication of ID recalc flags set in multiple flag handler functions.
With all this being said, there should be no user measurable difference for
now, it's a gigantic basement for some upcoming work and fixes.
Original fix was assuming that particle init operation is updated on every
frame, which is wrong behavior and that was fixed in previous commit to the
original bugfix.
The idea is to de-duplicate logic in DEG_id_tag_update() and flushing where we
need to translate depsgraph tag or component type to ID level recalc flag.
Currently unused, but is required for Blender 2.8.
Not only this helps merges form master to the branch, but also:
- Allows us to production-check changes as soon as possible.
- Avoids some unnecessary editors update about ID changes.
- Adds small optimization on queue size by always keeping one of the pointers
outside of the queue.
The idea is to allow iterating over ID nodes in exact order of their
construction, and in order which will not change dependent on memory
pointers or anything.
