Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

It allows to schedule tasks of smaller size without having
threads overhead or extra worry about splitting tasks into
smaller pieces.
This simplifies code in color management which was manually
splitting task into smaller chunks to keep memory usage low.
Further optimization is possible by avoid malloc called from
threads, but that's how it used to work for ages already
and would be optimized as a separate patch.
It is now possible to display per-frame track reprojection
error in curve view of clip editor. Simply enable corresponding
option in filter buttons.
Currently displayed using blue color which might confuse with
average reprojection error, further color tweaks are possible
and easy.
Also changed icon track x/y curves. Better icons here are
really appreciated.
Summary:
Issue was caused by access to pchan->custom object from channel free
function when freeing all objects from main. Order of objects free
is not defined and such an access might easily end up with access
to freed memory.
We don't need to do user counter stuff when freeing main, so added
an _ex functions with do_id_user flag which is used when freeing main.
We had the same issue with other datablocks, so now it should be
easier to support relevant user counter.
This issue was caused by the fix for T36391, so perhaps that's indeed
high time to do real user counter.

This wasn't needed before now, but since recent change to bUnit_ReplaceString,
it uses in a context where NULL terminator is expected - best add.

Previously there was no way to see if autopack was enabled. Now the external
data menu has 3 entries instead of 2:
* Automatically Pack Into .blend (with checkbox to indicate autopack on/off)
* Pack All Into .blend
* Unpack All Into Files
Fixes T37608, includes modifications by Brecht from the original patch.

This way blender player can easily use BPY_thread_save/restore.
Not so much important for master branch, but crucial to solve
linking issues in threaded depsgraph branch.
Summary: Just some extra comparison between native and 32bit structure length was needed.

Issue was caused by recent image cache rewrite and root of
the issue goes to the fact that blender player doesn't
initialize cache limiter and it uses 32meg of memory only.
This leads to infinite image loading/freeing.
For now disabled cache limiter in game engine, this brings
back old behavior.
In theory we might be smarter here, but better caching
policy is to be discussed.
This callback is used when cache limiter needs to remove
some cached objects when running out of limit.
From blender side it's used to keep painted images always
in memory.
This fixes issue when painted images were removing from
the memory after image cache rewrite.
