This allows for more flexibility in Compositing compared to the
hardcoded alpha-over that is currently used.

Extend options are currently stored per curve. This was not clearly
communicated to the user and they expected this to be a setting per
CurveMapping.
This change will move the option from `Curve` to `CurveMapping`. In
order to support this the API had to be changed.
BPY: CurveMap.evaluate is also moved to CurveMapping.evaluate what
breaks Python API. Cycles has been updated but other add-ons have
not. After release of 2.81 we can merge this to master and adapt
the add-ons.

The goal is to make it possible to access evaluated datablocks at a
corresponding context. For example, be able to check evaluated state
if an object used for rendering.
Allows to write scripts in a safe manner for T63548 and T60094.

Currently unused, but will allow to keep of an owner of the depsgraph.
Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain
explicitly to relation update functions and things like that.
Preparing for the bigger changes which will be related on passing
dependency graph to various callbacks which need it.

This reverts commits 54fd8176d7, 4c5becb6b1 and 8f578150e.
Those kind of commits must be reviewed and approved by project owners.
That one:
* Broke Collada building by not properly updating all calls to modified
function.
* Broke *whole* ID management by not properly updating library_query.c.
And in general, I am strongly against backward ID pointers, those are
*always* a serious PITA for ID management. Sometimes they cannot be
avoided, but in general other ways to get that kind of info should be
investigated first.
Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
This commit extends dependency graph API with an argument which
denotes that all custom data layers are to be preserved. This
forces modifier stack re-evaluation with more inclusive mask.
Far from ideal, since this might fail in certain configurations
with indirectly used objects which might be missing layers needed
for the current object evaluation. But this is how it worked for
a long time, so should be good enough for until more sophisticated
solution is found.
In order to use this new behavior two things are to be passed:
- Pass keep_all_data_layers=True
- Pass a valid dependency graph.
The dependency graph is only needed if keep_all_data_layers=True
and is NOT to be passed if keep_all_data_layers=False.
If keep_all_data_layers=True the dependency graph MUST be passed.

For existing files, it will use the setting from Cycles or Eevee depending on

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.

NOTE: I've included changes to FBX exporter, and those are addressing
report T63689.
NOTE: All the enabled-by-default addons are to be ported still, but
first want to have agreement on this part of changes.
NOTE: Also need to work on documentation for Python API, but, again,
better be done after having agreement on this work.
