The implementation is pretty straightforward.
In Cycles, sampling the shapes is currently done w.r.t. area instead of solid angle.
There is a paper on solid angle sampling for disks [1], but the described algorithm is based on
simply sampling the enclosing square and rejecting samples outside of the disk, which is not exactly
great for Cycles' RNG (we'd need to setup a LCG for the repeated sampling) and for GPU divergence.
Even worse, the algorithm is only defined for disks. For ellipses, the basic idea still works, but a
way to analytically calculate the solid angle is required. This is technically possible [2], but the
calculation is extremely complex and still requires a lookup table for the Heuman Lambda function.
Therefore, I've decided to not implement that for now, we could still look into it later on.
In Eevee, the code uses the existing ltc_evaluate_disk to implement the lighting calculations.

This fix applying the following modifiers:
* Boolean (working already)
* Array
* Mesh Deform
* Surface Deform
* Vertex Weight Proximity
This function was to return evaluated mesh. So it should get the evaluated
object at all times. So in this case it makes more sense to simply pass the
depsgraph (or in this case the ModifierEvalContext that contains both the
depsgraph and the flag.
Solution discussed with Bastien Montagne.
Was breaking static override chaining (static override of a linked
datablock that is already a static override in it original lib file).
Dummy mistake, thanks to @dfelinto for finding the bug.

restoring the cursor.
Use WM_cursor_modal_set/restore which is intended for operator use,
calling ED_region_cursor_set after an operator runs isn't reliable.
Fixes bug with changes to properties not being flushed to the COW data.
It fixes T55144.
This is the part of rBb4b745b72064 that is required although slow.
Which was partially addressed but the rest of the commit, which in
turn broke things. So for now let's get RNA to flush slow cow, and
deal with the consequences.

Some conversion helper functions were (most likely by accident) contained
inside an ifdef for SSE2 support, so on e.g. ARM they would be undefined
and therefore cause compilation to fail.
* Add horizontal bar at bottom of all non-temp windows, similar to the Top-bar.
* Status-bar is hidden in UI-less fullscreen mode
* Current contents are preliminary and based on T54861:
** Left: Current file-path if needed. "(Modified)" note if file was changed.
** Center: Scene statistics (like in 2.7 Info Editor).
** Right: Progress-bars and reports
* Internally managed as own "STATUSBAR" editor-type (hidden in UI).
* Like with the Top-bar, Status-bar data and SDNA writing is disabled.
* Most changes in low-level screen/area code are to support layout bounds that differ from window bounds.

This reverts commit b4b745b720.
This was causing a problem in 01_025_A.anim.blend from the Spring
production files, where selecting one of Autumn's bones would
result in character jumping back to the origin.
Note the relationship we need is from the geometry/object to the curve data,
not the curve object.
Related to T55167, though when copy-on-write is enabled, we still get a crash.
