This was crashing, when looking into a fix I noticed that it gave
hap-hazard results dissolving past forks in the parent/child hierarchy
arbitrarily following one chain.
This functionality is almost identical to "dissolve" which delimits
forks in the chain predictably.
So remove this in favor of dissolve (available from the delete menu).
This works for all selection modes,
include last below a separator since it's a specialized function.
Note that the previous commit was raising an exception as operator
properties don't support 'or'.
The button seems to behave more as I'd expect without these
additional checks. Previously, the button was often grayed out when
it was actually working.

This commit introduces a new mode for calculating the positions and
weights of the IK segments in the Pose Brush based on the Face Sets.
The first segment of the chain will always include all face sets inside
the brush radius and it will propagate until the boundary of the last
face sets added in the flood fill. Then consecutive connected face sets
are added to the chain until the chain length limit is reached or all
face sets of the mesh are already part of the chain.
This feature enables complete control over the pose brush origins in
case that is needed. Also, with this mode, the user can have a library
of base meshes with face sets already configured to get to the initial
pose as fast as possible.

This commit aims to add functionality to the surface deform modifier that
gives more control and allows it to work better with the modifier stack.
* Maintains compatibility with older files. The default settings keep it
so that the whole object is bound and vertex coordinates get overwritten
as the modifier currently does.
* Turns the deformations from an absolute vertex coordinate overwrite into
an additive offset from the vertex location before the modifier to the
resulting bound deformation. This gives the ability to control the
strength of the deformation and mix the deformation of the modifier
with the modifier stack that comes before it.
* Also adds in a vertex group with the invert option. This is applied after
the bind deformation is added. So the whole object is still bound to target,
and the vertex group filters afterwards what parts get affected.
I experimented with a version to only binds the geometry weighted to the
vertex group, but that would break compatibility with old files.
I may bring it in later as a separate option/mode for the surface deform.

This commit gives the solidify modifier the ability to assign the newly created shell

the modifier stack by letting users apply modifiers to the shell geometry without affecting
the original geometry.
This will be especially helpful for NPR users that use solidify to create backface

This implements a new mode in the Face Sets Create operator to create a

This operator initializes all face sets in the sculpt at once using
different mesh properties. It can create face sets by mesh connectivity,
material slots, face normals, UV seams, creases, sharp edges, bevel
weights and face maps.
For properties that are already in the faces, this is implemented as a
loop. Properties that depend on edge attributes use a similar operation
to sculpt flood fill, but using face adjacency instead of edge vertex
connectivity.
As Multires also stores the face sets in the base mesh, this should work
in the face sets Multires implementation without any changes.
This is implemented as a separate operator as this resets the visibility
and creates all face sets at once, while the create face set operator
creates a single face sets, leaving the rest of the face sets in the
mesh as they are.

- Shows key bindings to access menus

This patch implements dumping images from cache to HDD.
The main goal of this system is to provide a means to achieve consistent playback speed mainly for strips that are not possible to preview in real time.
How to use:
Disk cache has own settings in user preferences for path to storage, size limit and compression level.
To use disk cache, you need to check `Use Disk Cache` box, set `Disk Cache Directory`, `Disk Cache Limit` and save or open existing .blend file.
By default sequencer output will be cached only. Manual setting is possible in cache panel.
Uses:
- Replacement or alternative for proxies. Disk cache will work with any strip type, supports float images as well.
- Storage for strip thumbnails.
- Less RAM needs to be allocated for preview cache
How it works:
Disk cache is extension of RAM cache. Every image, that is stored or deleted in RAM will be stored or deleted on HDD as well. Images can be compressed to save space and for use on slower drives. Compressed images are slower to write and read though.
Images are stored in bulk of 100 rendered frames per one file. This is to overcome slow file access time for large amount of files. Drawback is, that if one frame needs to be redrawn, all 100 frames are deleted.

transforms match we don't use the additional per-grid matrix in the shader.

This check box alters how weights are displayed and painted,
similar to Multi Paint, but in a different way. Specifically,
weights are presented as if all locked vertex groups were
deleted, and the remaining deform groups normalized.
The new feature is intended for use when balancing weights within
a group of bones while all others are locked. Enabling the option
presents weight as if the locked bones didn't exist, and their
weight was proportionally redistributed to the editable bones.
Conversely, the Multi-Paint feature allows balancing a group of
bones as a whole against all unselected bones, while ignoring
weight distribution within the selected group.
This mode also allows temporarily viewing non-normalized weights
as if they were normalized, without actually changing the values.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

The feature is hidden behind an experimental option, you'll have to
enable it in the preferences to try it.
This feature is not yet considered fully stable, crashes may happen, as
well as .blend file corruptions (very unlikely, but still possible).
In a nutshell, the ideas behind this code are to:
* Detect unchanged IDs across an undo step.
* Reuse as much as possible existing IDs memory, even when its content
did change.
* Re-use existing depsgraphs instead of building new ones from scratch.
* Store accumulated recalc flags, to avoid needless re-compute of things
that did not change, when the ID itself is detected as modified.
See T60695 and D6580 for more technical details.
This option existed already and was just hidden in the UI. With the new fluids system though, it will only be used for rendering - and not to optimize the cache.

When scaling the root bone of a rig to apply a global scale, the
corrective smooth modifier results in wrong deformation due to incorrect
scaling. The delta calculations are not taking into account any scale
value.
To fix it, a scale property is added to the modifier, allowing to set
manually the scale value for the deltas by simply multiplying the
vectors by this value. There is a similar implementation in Maya's Delta
Mush deformer. This property can be for example driven by the scale of
the root bone of the rig, to dynamically update when the animator scale

This automasking option protects the open boundary edges of the mesh from the brush deformation. This is needed to sculpt cloths and it works nicely with the cloth brush.
It has a Propagation Steps property that controls the falloff of the mask from the edge.
Limitations:
- The automask is recalculated at the beginning of each stroke, creating a little bit of lag in high poly meshes, but it is not necessary. This can be fixed in the future by caching the edge distances, increasing a little bit the complexity of the code.
- The boundary vertex detection in meshes is not ideal and it fails with triangulated geometry, but it is the same as in the smooth brush. After fixing this, we should refactor the smooth brush to use the API and let the automasking option manually control the affected vertices.
- It does not work in Multires (it needs to be implemented in the API). The smooth brush in Multires is also not making boundary vertices.
- The falloff has a visible line artifact on grid patterns. We can smooth the final automasking factors several iterations, but it will make the initialization much slower. This can also be added in the future if we decided to cache the distances.
