Some drivers may report very large allocation sizes, which could cause
unnecessary memory usage. This is now limited to 2gb which should
still be enough to get the needed performance benefits without waste.
The legacy algorithm only considers two adjacent points when computing
the bezier handles, which cannot produce satisfactory results. Animators
are often forced to manually adjust all curves.
The new approach instead solves a system of equations to trace a cubic spline
with continuous second derivative through the whole segment of auto points,
delimited at ends by keyframes with handles set by other requirements.
This algorithm also adjusts Vector handles that face ordinary bezier keyframes
to achieve zero acceleration at the Vector keyframe, instead of simply pointing
it at the adjacent point.
Original idea and implementation by Benoit Bolsee <benoit.bolsee@online.be>;
code mostly rewritten to improve code clarity and extensibility.

This fix enables the usage of bbones easing parameters for edit and pose mode seperately. This allows animators to take advantage of the functionality and may eliminate confusion as the parameters now behave similar to other bbone parameters.
Note that splitting the parameters between the modes effectively creates a new parameter set. Blend files of previous versions do not contain this information and will have the values set to 0 on load. As it broke backwards compatibility for pose mode values anyway, I also took the liberty to rename the easing parameters in some places for consistency (which breaks edit mode values).

The idea is to make it possible to report extra meta data from
render engine to the file writing. This way we can provide
additional information such as number of samples rendered by
resumable Cycles rendering so we can easily combine files back.
Currently only report number of samples from Cycles when rendering
a single render-layer scene. This is something what was required
here at the studio. We can easily extend that further.
Ideally we would also need to support non-string metadata, but
that's for later.

cmake's link_directories will supply forward slashes for the search paths, the msvc linker has some issues with that, while it will search for the needed libs just fine, the incremental linker gets fed forward slashes for some libs, while the previous binary has backward slashes in it's metadata, the linker assumes obj files got added and performs a full link instead of an incremental link. This change brings down the link time with newer msvc versions for a trivial edit down from a few minutes to a few seconds.
- Only basis balls are exported, as they represent the resulting mesh.
As a result the mesh is written to Alembic using the name of the basis
ball.
- MetaBalls are converted to a mesh on every frame, then an
AbcMeshWriter is used to write that mesh to Alembic.
When the mesh changed topology but kept the vertex count the same, it would
result in a corrupt mesh. By checking the face & loop counts too, this has
become less likely.
I've checked IPolyMeshSchema::isConstant(), but it returns true even when
we see that the mesh changed topology.
Recent addition of 'reinsert' didn't match logic for ghash API.
Rename to BLI_heap_node_value_update,
also add BLI_heap_insert_or_update since it's a common operation.
The single byte version of hash_data was casting from unsigned char
instead of signed.
This didn't cause any errors since the result of each aren't compared.
Even so, better keep them matching.
