Building the CUDA kernels takes quite a bit of memory, and when building all of
them the combined usage can be too much on some systems (especially VMs).
Therefore, this patch adds an option to force the build system to build them
sequentially by making each build step depend on the previous kernel.

This replaces old single toggle option to subdivide UVs with
an enum which can have more options. The usecase for this is
to be compatible with other software. But we also might choose
different subdivision type as default in the future.
DNA and underlying code supports all possible options, but
only the ones which are compatible with old subdivision code
are currently exposes.

C-API is way smaller than the rest of the code which uses it.
So better to conditionally compile stub implementation than
to keep adding ifdef everywhere.
Enabled infinite sharp patches for topology refiner and evaluator,
which allows to have sharp edge at first subdivision level.
Also tweaked crease export from Blender to OpenSubdiv to have more
artistic control over the whole 0..1 range.
The idea is simple: do not provide full topology to OpenSubdiv, leave
edges creation to OpenSubdiv itself. This solves issues with non-manifold
meshes which were known to fail, including the ones from T52059.
On a positive side we can simplify our side of converter, keeping code
shorter.
it is still possible that we'll need to ensure all loops has same
winding, but that is less things to worry about.
Applies to vertices and edges. Biggest annoyance here is that OpenSubdiv's
topology converter expects that there is no loose geometry, otherwise it
is getting confused.
For now solution is to create some sort of mapping from real Mesh vertex
and edge index to a non-loose-index. Now the annoying part is that this
is an extra step to calculate before we can compare topology, meaning FPS
will not be as great as if we knew for sure that topology didn't change.
Loose edges subdivision is different from what it used to be with old
subdivision code, but probably nice feature now is that endpoints of loose
edges are stay at the coarse vertex locations. This allows to have things
like plane with hair strands, without need to duplicate edge vertices at
endpoints.
All this required some re-work of topology refiner creation, which is now
only passing edges and vertices which are adjacent to face. This is how
topology refiner is supposed to be used, and this is how its validator
also works. Vertices which are adjacent to loose edges are marked as
infinite sharp. This seems to be good-enough approximation for now. In the
future we might tweaks things a bit and push such vertices in average
direction of loose edges, to match old subdivision code closer.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
This is in preparation of upgrading our library dependencies, some of which
need C++11. We already use C++11 in blender2.8 and for Windows and macOS, so
this just affects Linux.
On many distributions this will not require any changes, on some
install_deps.sh will need to be run again to rebuild libraries.

Just basic algebra - because all vectors have the same z coordinate, a lot of terms end up cancelling out.
Not exactly a massive improvement, but it's measurable with Branched PT and a high sample count on the lamp.

Gathers information about object geometry and textures. Very basic at
this moment, but need to start somewhere.
Things which needs to be included still:
- "Runtime" information, like BVH. While it is not directly controllable
by artists, it's still important to know.
- Device array sizes. Again, not under artists control, but is added to
the overall size.
- Memory peak at different synchronization stages.
At this point it simply prints info to the stdout after F12 is done,
need better control over that too.

We use a hidden window for each offscreen context we need.
On X11 (linux) it does not show any other windows in the OS task bar
but it might be the case on other operating systems (untested).
