The new `--disable-depsgraph-on-file-load` commandline option, when used
together with the `--background` or `--command` ones, will prevent
building a depsgraph immediately after loading a blendfile.
The goal is to improve performances of batch-processing of blendfiles by
python scripts. It is intended to become the default behavior in Blender
5.0.
Scripts requiring evaluated data then need to explicitly ensure that
an evaluated depsgraph is available (e.g. by calling
`depsgraph = context.evaluated_depsgraph_get()`).
------
This disables the call to `wm_event_do_depsgraph` in `wm_file_read_post`.
Some quick performances tests:
* The whole `blendfile_versioning` tests gain about 2% speedup. These are
almost always small and simple blendfiles.
* Loading a Gold production file however goes from 26.5s to 3.5s (almost
90% faster) when this new option is specified.
