Modifier previews should be implemented by a more generic system.
The current system is already a hack and needed a lot of work
to get it working again in 2.80 and even so that would be replaced by
another system in the near future.
For Vertex Colors we have a work around in place by using Workbench
Vertex Colors. For Vertex Weights we loose the previewing. Not sure
targetting weight is working (even for 279).

Force Displist to Mesh conversion if there is any modifier.
This is until we find a better way to store the batches per objects.
Also fix draw cache functions that were not returning final mesh edges.
On file read we need to update group nodes in case the group they refer to
has changed its inputs and outputs. This had O(n^2) time complexity and was
updating all datablocks even if they did not change.
Forward compatibility with that version is already long gone, and removing
it means we can avoid running some complicated code on every file read/write.
As far as I can tell, there is no technical reason why the B-Bone
segment thickness scaling can't be separated into two axes. The
only downside is the increase in complexity of the B-Bone settings,
but this is inevitable due to the increase in flexibility.
Updating the file is somewhat complicated though, because F-Curves
and drivers have to be duplicated and updated to the new names.

Currently it is not possible to view the vertex colors of an object. To
optimize the workflow, workbench will need to support Vertex Colors.
The Vertex Colors is a new option in `shading->color_type`. When objects
do not have vertex color, the objects will be rendered with the
`V3D_SHADING_OBJECT_COLOR`.
In order to support vertex colors in workbench the current texture/solid
shading structure is migrated to a primary shaders and fallback shaders.

Now that B-Bone shape data is kept in bPoseChannel_Runtime, the
armature level cache only holds one quaternion value per bone.
It can also be moved to runtime, and the structure removed.
This has an additional effect that, as far as I can tell, now
the Armature modifier can run as soon as all of the bones it
actually needs are done, thus making T59848 a purely depsgraph
level problem.
This way float and multilayer images can now be packed without data loss. This
removes the as_png option and always uses the appropriate file format depending
on the image contents.
Previously, when a fcurve modifier used storage,
many heap allocations were done.
This caused major slowdowns as described in T63656.
Furthermore, the storage usage was a special case only
used by the Cycles modifier. This refactor makes
storage usage the "normal" case.
That reduces the overall complexity.
The storage is stack allocated now.
The framerate on the provided test scene went up from ~5 fps to ~16 fps.

Previously Spline IK provided only two choices: either scale the
length of the bone chain to fit the length of the curve, or don't
scale the bone in the Y dimension at all (ignoring effects of
actually fitting to the curve due to curvature and curve object
scale).
This patch adds a new option to use the pre-IK Y scale of the
bones to adjust their length when fitted to the curve, allowing
individual posing control over the length of the segments.

Having this in blenkernel caused bad level calls to bf_editors_anim,
causing tests that use 'blenkernel' to require almost all libraries.
(complicating gtest linking & causing large binaries).
Mainly, scaling needs to be continuously faded out in these cases.
Plus, in the case of end roll-off, it seems better to integrate into
this general fading system, instead of ad-hoc interpolation of tail.
This commit adds support for drawing Dots strokes with a gradient factor to get artistic effects like watercolor.
Currently, the option is only supported by Dots materials, and in the future will be added to line strokes, but now there is a limitation on drawing engine and we will keep disabled on Line materials.
Also, added the option to align Dots and Boxes strokes textures aligned with the drawing path to get more fluid strokes.
