Many modern computers support a lot of threads (parrallel building
jobs), but are somewhat restricted in memory, when some building jobs
can require several GB each.
Ninja builder has pools, which extend the usual `-j X` make
parallelizing option, by allowing to specify different numbers of
parallel jobs for different targets.
This commit defines three pools, one for linking, one for usual compile,
and one for compiling some 'heavy' cpp libs, when a single file can
require GB of RAM in full debug builds.
Simply enabling WITH_NINJA_POOL_JOBS will try to set default sensible
values for those three pools based on your machine specifications, you
can then tweak further the values of NINJA_MAX_NUM_PARALLEL_ settings,
if you like.
On my system (8 cores, 16GB RAM), it allows to build a full debug with
all ASAN options build with roughly 7GB of RAM used at most, pretty much
as quickly as without that option (which would require up to 11GB of
available RAM at some points).

When OSL is enabled, Cycles disables RTTI in some of its modules, which
then breaks vptr sanitizer (part of the 'undefined' sanitizer).
thanks to @brecht for helping tracking down the issue.
Draco py binding needs to be installed somewhere, when not installing
Python itself it's breaking the installation (since it creates a fake
empty py install, which will crash when trying to start Blender).
We could fix that in some smarter way maybe, but for now it's simpler to
just not care about Draco when we are not installing Python.
Draco is added as a library under extern/ and builds a shared library that is
installed into the Python site-packages. This is then loaded by the glTF add-on
to do mesh compression.

This bring macOS on par with Windows and Linux. It uses the OpenMP library
added to our precompiled libraries.
Custom flags are set because FindOpenMP from CMake below 3.12 does not support
AppleClang, and more recent versions do not work with our custom directory
location either.

We are core profile now, no need to link against GLU.
This change makes it so Blender binary is not dependent on liGLU.so.
That was a weird thing that Blender was dependent on it, but was not
using any functions from it.
Prefer legacy OpenGL library, for the compatibility and portability
reasons.
Also use proper OpenGL libraries to be linked against, so we can
change preference to GLVND.
This commit makes it so that subsurf/multires modifiers will respect
the WITH_OPENSUBDIV option. The WITH_OPENSUBDIV_MODIFIER option is
now gone.
For artists it mean that subsurf modifier will behave same as it is
planned for 2.80. Multires will now support sculpting, but it has some
known limitations. Those will be worked on before the final release.
If OpenSubdiv is disabled, no subsurf/multires functionality will
present.
For the details see:

Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

The option WITH_C11 is gone, and C++ is defaulting to C++11 now,
so guess it's fine to assume we need C11 now.
This is technically what we use anyway, with all the re-definitions
of structs (like when we typedef anonymous struct in a header file
first, and them define it to a proper structure in implementation
file).
* WITH_SYSTEM_OPENJPEG is removed and is now always on, this was already
the case for macOS and Windows.
* This should not break existing Linx builds. If there is no new enough
OpenJPEG installed, CMake will no find libopenjp2 and WITH_IMAGE_OPENJPEG
will be disabled.
* install_deps.sh was updated with new package names, since distributions
put this version in a new package.

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.
