This also replaces the Use Alpha setting. We now have these alpha modes:
* Straight: store RGB and alpha channels separately with alpha acting as a
mask, also known as unassociated alpha.
* Premultiplied: transparent RGB pixels are multiplied by the alpha channel.
The natural format for renders.
* Channel Packed: different images are packed in the RGB and alpha channels,
and they should not influence each other. Channel packing is commonly used
by game engines to save memory.
* None: ignore alpha channel from the file and make image fully opaque.
Cycles OSL does not correctly support Channel Packed and None yet, we are
missing fine control over the OpenImageIO texture cache to do that.

The basic idea is that such new images will be packed into the .blend file
when saving all modified images from the quit dialog. To make this workflow
nicer a number of changes were made to how this type of packed image is
handled.
* "Save Modified Images" now packs generated images into the .blend file.
* "Save As" for packed images now automatically unpacks the image, so that
it's easy to save automatically packed images. "Save Copy" keeps it packed.
* "Save" for packed images now re-saves the image into the .blend file, so
that it's effectively the equivalent of "Save" for non-packed images.
* Empty image filepaths are no longer remapped when saving the .blend file.
Previously it would become e.g. "//../../" which makes no sense for generated
images with no filepath yet.
* Hide unpack button and filepath for such packed images with no filepath.
Unpacking does not work in a predictable way without a filepath, better
to just "Save As".

The goal is to prevent assignment of temporary or evaluated meshes
to objects from the main database.
Majority of the change is actually related on passing reports around.
On a positive side there are more error prints which can become more
visible to scripters.
There are still possible further improvements in the related areas.
For example, disable user counting for evaluated ID datablocks when
assignment happens. But can also happen later on as a separate
improvement.

Makes the result of object.to_mesh() and bpy.meshes.new_from_object()
to be the same as what is visible in the viewport.
This makes Cycles to respect modifiers enabled in edit mode, and should
also easy some scripter's work. The final render still needs some work,
which, maybe, will be about forcing objects out of editing modes.
One of the usecases is to create mesh from an object is a manner similar to
how Apply Modifiers does it, and have it in the bmain so it can be referenced
by other objects.
This usecase is something what went unnoticed in the previous API changes, so
here is a followup.
Summary of changes:
* bpy.meshes.new_from_object() behaves almost the same as before this change.
The difference now is that it now ensures all referenced data-blocks are
original (for example, materials referenced by the mesh).
* object.to_mesh() now creates free-standing Mesh data-block which is outside
of any bmain. The object owns it, which guarantees the memory never leaks.
It is possible to force free memory by calling object.to_mesh_clear().

Main goal here is to make it obvious and predictable about
what is going on.
Summary of changes.
- Access to dependency graph is now only possible to a fully evaluated
graph. This is now done via context.evaluated_depsgraph_get().
The call will ensure both relations and datablocks are updated.
This way we don't allow access to some known bad state of the graph,
and also making explicit that getting update dependency graph is not
cheap.
- Access to evaluated ID is now possible via id.evaluated_get().
It was already possible to get evaluated ID via dependency graph,
but that was a bit confusing why access to original is done via ID
and to evaluated via depsgraph.
If datablock is not covered by dependency graph it will be returned
as-is.
- Similarly, request for original from an ID which is not evaluated
will return ID as-is.
- Removed scene.update().
This is very expensive to update all the view layers.
- Added depsgraph.update().
Now when temporary changes to objects are to be done, this is to
happen on original object and then dependency graph is to be
updated.
- Changed object.to_mesh() to behave the following way:
* When is used for original object modifiers are ignored.
For meshes this acts similar to mesh-copy, not very useful but
allows to keep code paths similar (i.e. for exporter which has
Apply Modifiers option it's only matter choosing between original
and evaluated object, the to_mesh() part can stay the same).
For curves this gives a mesh which is constructed from displist
without taking own modifiers and modifiers of bevel/taper objects
into account.
For metaballs this gives empty mesh.
Polygonization of metaball is not possible from a single object.
* When is used for evaluated object modifiers are always applied.
In fact, no evaluation is happening, the mesh is either copied
as-is, or constructed from current state of curve cache.
Arguments to apply modifiers and calculate original coordinates (ORCO,
aka undeformed coordinates) are removed. The ORCO is to be calculated
as part of dependency graph evaluation.

When normally editing curves, deleting the last keyframe also
deletes the curve. Thus if for some reason it didn't happen,
e.g. maybe due to removing keys directly via Python, skip the
bad curve instead of resetting the channel to zero.
This constraint requires full bone data to evaluate, so it can't
use the generic single target matrix system. Calculating it is
thus useless waste of CPU time.
This is the angular diameter as seen from earth, which is between 0.526° and

No major API change here, only in the outliner restriction column
variables (e.g., show_restrict_column_selectable > show_restrict_column_select).
* Get rid of _INSTANCE (introduced on b1af682001).
* Differentiate (everywhere but the API) between HIDE (temporary) and VIEWPORT (global).
* Use the expected icon for restrict viewport (same as objects and modifiers).
* selectable > select
Since drivers on Bone properties are really supposed to be stored
in Armature data and access bones via its bones[] collection, this
lookup path should work efficiently.
Mass lookup of bones by name was already done through hashes,
but they were built temporarily every time that was needed. This
simply replaces it with a common hash table computed immediately
after file load, copy, or Edit to Object mode switch.
Curve function had two arguments:
- for_render, which was originally supposed to be used to control
whether viewport or render visibility for modifiers is to be
used.
- use_render_resolution, which sounds like it is supposed to control
whether viewport or render resolution for curves is to be used.
What is totally confusing is that those arguments were used
interchangeably: sometimes use_render_resolution would control
modifiers visibility.
This commit makes it so there is one single argument for this.

Visibility Options
==================
We are adding more granular control over restriction columns in the outliner,
exposing "indirect only" and "holdout" as options, and change the way
users enable/disable collections in a viewlayer.
We also rename the object viewport restriction to hide instance.
So the options we have are:
Collection
----------
* Render Visibility
* Instance Visibility
* Selectable
(View) Layer Collection
-----------------------
* Enable
* Holdout
* Indirect Only
* Viewport
Shortcuts
=========
Isolate Collection
------------------
* Ctr + click isolates the collection.
It turns all its parents and children "visible", and all the other
collections "invisible".
If ALL the collections were already properly set, we re-set the
collections to their default value.
Set Collection Inside Collections and Objects
---------------------------------------------
* Shift + click: Set/unset inside collections and objects.
We only set objects values as well when we are in View Layer mode and
(obviously) when the objects have a matching property.
Icons
=====
Little reminder that we will need better icons for holdout, indirect only, and
probably instanced (nothing wrong with the current, but it differs from
the proposal when it is turned off).
Also, we need to decide where do we want the modifier/bones/... icons to
be (in which column) and ideally make sure their icons match the ones we
use for collections/objects.
At the moment those are using the screen icon, which is not being used
by collections.

Versionning code generating collections from old 2.79 scene layers was
setting new collections' library from scene, but it also needs to
properly set the `LIB_TAG_INDIRECT` tag, otherwise localizing code does
not know what to do, and most of append process fails.
When using multiple viewlayers and switching between them the selection
gets buggy. The reason for this is that the select_id is updated based
on the index in the viewlayer. This makes the select_id not unique as
objects might be shared or not shared at all.
This fix will update the select_id on all objects in main. This will be triggered in all the selection operators.

Ref T63986.
Since scale is multiplicative, the appropriate way to partially copy
it is to use power. However, the influence slider of constraints uses
linear interpolation. Thus, there is no way to correctly split scale
via constraints without adding this feature.
In addition, this allows inverting scale by using negative powers,
fulfilling the function of Copy Rotation's Invert checkboxes.
Add a new option that makes the Spline IK solver apply volume
preservation on top of the original scaling, considering the
pre-IK scale of the bone as the goal volume to be preserved.
This basically works similar to the Stretch To constraint, and
allows easily rigging a stretchy chain that uniformly follows
its parent's scaling.
Since the Stretch To behavior is more familiar, the new option
is on by default for newly created Spline IK constraints.
This happened to be a bigger rabbit hole to hell than it originally seemed,
and there are higher priority design tasks to be handled (at this point high
priority design task is more important than high priority bug fix).
After talking to Brecht the decision was made to revert to the known isolated
issue, which will allow everyone in the studio work same as prior to last
Friday.
The remaining bits will be worked on after all the design tasks are out of
the way.

After a lot of thinking about this, I decided that all operation modes
that I've tried over the past couple of years, including the original
2.79 one, have their uses after all. Thus the only reasonable solution
is to add yet another option.
The modes are:
- Strict: The current 2.80 mode, which overrides the original scaling
of the non-free axes to strictly preserve the volume. This is the most
obvious way one would expect a 'Maintain Volume' constraint to work.
- Uniform: The original 2.79 mode, which assumes that all axes have been
scaled the same as the free one when computing the volume. This seems
strange, but the net effect is that when simply scaling the object
uniformly with S, the volume is preserved; however, scaling the non-
free axes individually allows deviating from the locked volume.
This was obviously intended as a more or less convenient UI tool.
- Single Axis: My own variant of the intent of the Uniform scale, which
does volume-preserving if the object is scaled just on the Free axis,
while passing the non-free axis scaling through. I.e. instead of
uniform S scaling, the user has to scale the object just on its
primary axis to achieve constant volume. This can allow reducing the
number of animation curves when only constant volume scaling is needed,
or be an easier to control tool inside a complex rig.
Unlike location and rotation, there is a meaningful definition of
overall/average scaling via the total change in the volume. This
adds an option to retrieve that via a single driver variable,
instead of having to use three and an expression.
Using the determinant to compute the volume scaling also allows
detecting flipping due to negative scale - this is impossible
to do via the three variable approach.
The volume_scale functions are added purely for code readability:
'volume scale factor' is easier to understand than determinant.
