- Use smooth normals to displace in Above Surface mode.
- Add an option to align an axis to the normal in the constraint.
I've seen people request the alignment feature, and it seems useful.
For the actual aligning I use the damped track logic.
In order to conveniently keep mesh data needed for normal
computation together, a new data structure is introduced.

Computation of hold blocks was done by storing ranges (with start and
an end, and likely overlapping) in a tree keyed only by the block start.
This cannot work well, and there even were comments that it is not
reliable in complex cases.
A much better way to deal with it is to split all ranges so they don't
overlap. The most thorough way of doing this is to split at all and every
known keyframe, and in this case the data can actually be stored in the
key column data structures, avoiding the need for a second tree.
In practice, splitting requires a pass to copy this data to newly added
keys, and the necessity to loop over all keyframes in the range being
added. Both are linear and don't add excess algorithmic complexity.
The new implementation also calls BLI_dlrbTree_linkedlist_sync for
its own needs, so the users of the *_to_keylist functions don't have
to do it themselves anymore.

New iterator CTX_DATA_BEGIN_FOR_ID, to restrict the loop to the specified object only.
This is not super efficient, but it should be fine for now.
I will talk to other developers. A more elegant solution would be to
have something like "active_object_selected_pose_bones" in the context.
Now, it was possible to invert the order of the UIlist using the filter, but it was impossible to know if the list was inverted or not.
The problem with this is that any other element depending of this value could not be adjusted.
See https://devtalk.blender.org/t/how-to-access-uilist-properties/2268
The new parameter allows to set the reverse order by default. When the list is set as reverse, it cannot be inverted again, so the invert button is removed of the filter.
This change is needed to fix a requested feature for Grease Pencil (T56985) and because a lot of 2D softwares use the drawing layers in the inverse order used in Blender.
Loop triangles are tessellated triangles create from polygons, for renderers
or exporters that need to match Blender's polygon tesselation exactly. These
are a read-only runtime cache.
Tessfaces are a legacy data structure from before Blender supported n-gons,
and were already mostly removed from the C code.
Details on porting code to loop triangles is in the release notes.

- mesh_calc_modifiers & editbmesh_calc_modifiers
now follow similar naming.
- me and mesh were too easily confused in mesh_calc_modifiers
(remove 'me', access ob->data).
Before when press . (view_select) the object was centered at the dummy, but now it's centered with the strokes bounding box size.
Also fixed some problems in edit mode when the object origin was not in view origin.
