Replaces `G.is_rendering` with `use_render_params` argument.
This is needed for Cycles, which attempts to restore render-preview settings from particles,
after it gets its own particle data, but fails to restore because
`G.is_rendering` was being checked in psys_cache_paths (and other places).
This patch adds support for coloring point density textures based on several mesh vertex attributes.
* Vertex Color: Use a vertex color layer for coloring the point density texture
* Vertex Weight: Use a weights from a vertex group as intensity values. (for Blender Render engine the additional color band is used)
* Vertex Normals: Use object-space vertex normals as RGB values.
The vertex color source enum is stored separately from the particle color source, to avoid invalid values when switching.
Note that vertex colors are technically "corner colors" (MLoop), so each vertex can have as many colors as faces it is part of.
For the purpose of point density the mloop colors are simply averaged, which is physically plausible because corners can be viewed
as multiple points in the same location.
The issue was happening when having unconnected point density which
will cache data but will not free it because there's no actual call
to the actual sampling.
Now the idea is to make sure cache is zeroed on file load and undo
and then caching via RNA will free the data if any exists. This could
leave us with a single copy of cache in the node if it's not used,
but it's quite small amount of memory and it's not leaking.
The issue was caused by different AABB used by Cycles and texture sampler.
Instead of trying to keep this two functions in sync we now do have an
utility call in the point density node to query the AABB.
It also fixes another issue (crash) related to symmetric editing.
Quite involved, we (try to!) fix complete broken logic of parts of particle code, which would use poly index
as tessface one (or vice-versa). Issue most probably goes back to BMesh integration time...
This patch mostly fixes particle editing mode:
- Adding/removing particles when using generative modifiers (like subsurf) should now work.
- Adding/removing particles with a non-tessellated mesh (i.e. one having ngons) should also mostly work.
- X-axis-mirror-editing particles over ngons does not really work, not sure why currently.
- All this in both 'modes' (with or without using modifier stack for particles).
Tech side:
- Store a deformed-only DM in particle modifier data.
- Rename existing DM to make it clear it's a final one.
- Use deformed-only DM's tessface2poly mapping to 'solve' poly/tessface mismatches.
- Make (part of) mirror-editing code able to use a DM instead of raw mesh, so that we can mirror based on final DM
when editing particles using modifier stack (mandatory, since there is no way currently to find orig tessface
from an final DM tessface index).
Note that this patch is not really nice and clean (current particles are beyond hope on this side anyway),
it's more like some urgency bandage. Whole crap needs complete rewrite anyway,
BMesh's polygons make it really hard to work with current system (and looptri would not help much here).
Also, did not test everything possibly affected by those changes, so it needs some users' testing & validation too.

The issue was caused by possible use of object->derivedFinal from the render
thread, The patch tries to eliminate (or at least minimize, huh) amount of
access to the derivedFinal of a source object. It's still possible that in
the case of particle source derived mesh will be still unsafely used, but
with the patch applied we can easily change runtime part of the code and
cache derived mesh on the preparation stage.
Some ideas for the future:
- Check whether cache() was called on the point density node when calling
calc().
- Cache derivedMesh in the runtime part of point density node to avoid
possible remained thread conflicts.
- NULL the runtime part of the node on .blend load

The issue was introduced by original Cycles point density support commit,
it lead to a constant density of 1 for object verticies point density source.
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
There was possible race condition in the point density sampling caused
by access to the same data in particle system from sampling thread and
sampling initialization.
Could have happened when two different point density textures were using
same particle system
This commit implements point density texture for Cycles shading nodes.
It's done via creating voxel texture at shader compilation time, Not
totally memory efficient, but avoids adding sampling code to kernel
(which keeps render time as low as possible), In the future this will
be compensated by using OpenVDB for more efficient storage of sparse
volume data.
Sampling of the voxel texture is happening at blender side and the
same code is used as for Blender Internal's renderer.
This texture is controlled by only object, particle system and radius.
Linear falloff is used and there's no turbulence. This is because
falloff is expected to happen using Curve Mapping node. Turbulence
will be done as a distortion on the input coordinate. It's already
possible to fake it using nose textures and in the future we can add
more proper turbulence distortion node, which then could also be used
for 2D texture mapping.
Particle color support is done by Lukas, thanks!
Still not ideal but getting closer. Main annoying thing so far is
dependency of Render structure for now. It is used to switch particles
to render mode and could probably also be eliminated.
Lattice deformation used to store some runtime data
inside of lattice datablock itself. It's something
which is REALLY bad. Ideally DNA shouldn't contain
and runtime data.
For now solved it in a way that initialization of
lattice deform will create a structure which contains
lattice object for which deformation is calculating
and that runtime data which used to be stored in
lattice datablock itself.
It works really fine for mesh deform modifier, but
there's still runtime data stored in particle system
DNA, It didn't look something easy to be solved, so
leaving this as-is for now.

* Particles did not render at viewport resolution like meshes.
* Properties editor preview render of hair was crashing, solution is to have
two separate flags for this preview render and viewport preview render.
* Motion blur with shutter time > 1 did result in the correct evaluation
of some modifiers because it set the subframe to values > 1, and some
places assume the current frame to be set to the integer coordinate and
the subframe to be a value between 0 and 1.
* Shape keys did not take subframe time offsets into account.
* Point density texture was using an current frame value that was never set.
