This will allow much finer controll over how we copy data-blocks, from
full copy in Main database, to "lighter" ones (out of Main, inside an
already allocated datablock, etc.).
This commit also transfers a llot of what was previously handled by
per-ID-type custom code to generic ID handling code in BKE_library.
Hopefully will avoid in future inconsistencies and missing bits we had
all over the codebase in the past.
It also adds missing copying handling for a few types, most notably
Scene (which where using a fully customized handling previously).
Note that the type of allocation used during copying (regular in Main,
allocated but outside of Main, or not allocated by ID handling code at
all) is stored in ID's, which allows to handle them correctly when
freeing. This needs to be taken care of with caution when doing 'weird'
unusual things with ID copying and/or allocation!
As a final note, while rather noisy, this commit will hopefully not
break too much existing branches, old 'API' has been kept for the main
part, as a wrapper around new code. Cleaning it up will happen later.

Tweak the bias from the previous fix a bit to be more backwards compatible in
some scene. In the end which way we round is quite arbitrary, but keeping the
case where the texture coordinate is exactly zero the same seems better.
The idea is to accumulate all new tasks in a thread local queue
first without doing any thread synchronization (aka, locks and
conditional variables) and move those tasks to a scheduler queue
once they are all ready. This way we avoid per-task-pool lock
and only have one lock per bunch of tasks.
This is particularly handy when scheduling new dependency graph
node children. Brings FPS of cached simulation from the linked
below file from ~30 to ~50.
See documentation for BLI_task_pool_delayed_push_{begin, end}
and for TaskThreadLocalStorage::do_delayed_push.
Fixes T50027: Rigidbody playback and simulation performance regression with new depsgraph
Thanks Bastien for the review!
The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3

Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

We can not re-use anything for such pools, because we will know nothing about whether
the main thread is sleeping or not. So we identify such threads as 0, but we don't
use main thread's TLS.
This fixes dead-locks and crashes reported by Luca when doing playblasts.
Utility to get a file/dir in the path by index,
supporting negative indices to start from the end of the path.
Without this it wasn't straightforward to get
the a files parent directory name from a filepath.
Suspended pools allows to push huge amount of initial tasks
without any threading synchronization and hence overhead.
This gives ~50% speedup of cached rigid body with file from
T50027 and seems to have no negative affect in other scenes
here.
