Workaround to tranform feedback not working on mac.
On some system it crashes (see T58489) and on some other it outputs
garbage (see T60171).
So instead of using transform feedback we render to a texture,
readback the result to system memory and reupload as VBO data.
It is really not ideal performance wise, but it is the simplest
and the most local workaround that still uses the power of the GPU.
This should fix T59426, T60171 and T58489.
Now it will be simpler for code jsut wanting to preserve custom normals
around to set them, without having to add same boiler plate code all the
time around actual code.
Currently modifier stack assumes there are no poly normals data passed
around, so in case a modifier generates such data, it has to clean it up
after usage.
Whole handling of normals is a bit annoying and week currently, we can
probably enhance that once fully per-mesh item type cddata masks are in?
Not a bug, but supporting preservation of custom normals in that
specific modifier makes sense, in game pipeline contexts.
Could also ease work of IO add-ons that want to export
triangulated geometry...
* Move Revert, Recover Last Session, Recover Auto Save to its own sub-menu.
Had three entries of the same category, and solves user reports on "Revert" being dangerously accessible under Open.
* Move up Link, Append, Import, Export as they are used more often than e.g. Save Startup File.
Now always refresh when the material changes. Depsgraph tag moved out
of the refresh function since that gets called on depsgraph update,
which should not trigger a second depsgraph update.
* Remove single item Armature sub-menu. Add Armature straight away, unless the menu is expanded (like with Rigify enabled)
* Group Light and Light Probe between separators
* Move the lesser used Speaker item below Camera
Original optimization idea was wrong: it is possible that some other
ID would reference an object which is also used by a base.
Rolled back to a bit more fragile solution.
In the future would be nice to make it somewhat less duplicated with
the builder itself.
Fixes assert failure (and possibly crashes) when adding grease pencil
object and switching to a draw mode.
While it's kind of common to use camel case in C++ this is not
currently agreed style for C++ in Blender.
Got confused by working on other areas with 3rd party libraries.
-Rename 'Specials' menus to 'Context' menus for Grease Pencil
-Make Grease Pencil contextual menus follow the design of the regular contextual menus more
-Add more useful operators to the contextual menus in the paint modes
Almost every pulldown menu and popover has a little dropdown arrow shape.
Unfortunately it is a bit wonky. The top of the right side of it is wider than the top of the left side. And both sides are narrower at the bottom than the top. It might be hard to see, but this image should help:

The patch fixes the symmetry of the shape while keeping the weight as similar as possible. In the following image you can see the outline of the current version in red and this new version in green.

With patch applied the arrow looks perfect:

This allows to update base flags to a proper state then object's restriction
flags are changed, without requiring to re-evaluate an entire tree of flags.
Some old unused flags are were removed by this change, and also disabling
menu items might not work the same as before. This is something we can bring
back if it's really needed (the way how flags are handled did change since
that interface code was done anyway, so code was looking weird anyway).

This allows dependency graph to evaluate drivers of those objects
and put them to a correct state. It will increase memory usage
since now we can no longer save it by skipping copy-on-write for
such objects. It will also currently make things slower, because
we do not have granular enough visibility update of components in
the dependency graph. Can do it later when the rest of the changes
are finished.
This commit does not update restriction flags on the base, since
that is somewhat tricky to do currently: need to somehow see whether
object is disabled due to flags on collection or due to own flags.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D4419
The idea is to keep bases which are known for sure to be in the
dependency graph. Previously, this code was duplicating logic
around checking restriction flags, which becomes more hard to
maintain once we are moving towards to more comprehensive checks
about whether base is a part of evaluated scene or not.
As discussed with @billreynish this makes little sense now that we don't
have a dedicated textured mode. We don't have a superior texture or shaded
mode anymore and we also cannot mix different engines together (workbench
with eevee/lookdev).
The only feature it removes is the possibility to hide textures for certain
object in solid mode.
This actually makes more sense than removing them in the
load-post callback. During load, the file might register
timers that would be removed immediately.
