Our deformer system really needs some work. First, there was a crash
with shape keys because BL_ModifierDeformer derives from
BL_ShapeDeformer, which means we try to execute shape keys even if we do
not have them. Also, for some reason BL_ModifierDeformer::Update() does
not work if called from the threaded loop, so it is skipped for now. In
other words, skinned updates on meshes with modifiers are currently not
run in parallel.
This required BL_ArmatureObject to have tighter control over armatures and poses.
Also, (Blender) armature objects are now copied instead of shared between
BL_ArmatureObjects to avoid race conditions. Also, due to the armature copy,
shape key drivers need a bit of extra fiddling to get the correct armature copy.
Initially OpenMP was used for threading, but then BLI_task was used due to being
less compiler dependent.
This commit also places time spent on skinning updates in the Animation
profiler category (was previously under the Rasterizer category).
Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

This commit fixes two different issues, which were caused by
how weights are being calculated for relative shapekeys.
Weights for key block used to saved in KeyBlock DNA structure,
which lead to situations when different objects could start
writing to the same weights array if they're sharing the same
key datablock.
Solved this in a way so weights are never stored in KeyBlock
and being passed to shapekeys routines as an array of pointers.
This way weights are still computed run-time (meaning they're
calculated before shapekey evaluation and freed afterwards).
This required some changes to GameEngine as well, to make it
never cache weights in the key blocks.
Another aspect of this commit makes it so weight for a given
vertex group is only computed once. So if multiple key blocks
are using the same influence vertex group, they'll share the
same exact weights array. This gave around 1.7x speedup in
test chinchilla file which is close enough to if we've been
caching weights permanently in DNA (test machine is dual-code
4 threads laptop, speedup measured in depsgraph_mt branch,
trunk might be not so much high speedup).
Some further speed is optimization possible, but it could be
done later as well.
Thanks Brecht for idea of how the things might be solved in
really clear way.

[#30059] Shape Keys is gone in Blender if you use Add Object Actuator in BGE
[#30024] Segmentation fault after addObject when using shape keys
[#28683] segfault in shapekey conversion code when running a game (YF, level home) twice
* BL_DeformableGameObject is no longer responsible for handling keys, BL_ShapeDeformer is
* BL_ShapeDeformer also creates a copy of the key on construction and puts it back on the mesh when destructed. This avoids us permanently modifying Blender data.
* I'm not too fond of clearing out the key every frame, but this works and I can't think of another alternative at the moment (something may be possible with some key juggling)
- ignore MSVC warnings when FREE_WINDOWS is defined to quiet warnings.
- the CMake flags were not being set correctly making blender have weirdo colors (no -funsigned-char).
Even a static mesh can be used as replacement: the mesh
will be instantiated with the soft body settings of the
object. The position and orientation of the soft body
is preserved after the replacement.
Known limitation: the velocity of the soft body is reset
aftet the replacement. This is because soft body don't
have a well defined velocity.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

Blended shape keys can now be displayed & edited in edit mode. This
is much like showing an armature modifier in edit mode, and shape keys
now are a applied as a virtual modifier (for mesh & lattice only, curve
doesn't fit in the stack well due to tilt).
The main thing missing still is being able to switch between the active
shape key in edit mode, that's more complicated.. but the weights of
other shapes can be edited while in edit mode.
One thing to be careful about is that this does automatic crazyspace
correction, which means that if you edit a shape key with a low value,
the actual vertices will be moved to correct for that and actually move
a (potentially much) longer distance.
Also includes some UI tweaks, mainly placing some buttons horizontally
since the vertical list was getting too long.
Internal change to not apply the shape keys to the Mesh vertex coordinates,
but rather use it as part of the derivedmesh/displist evaluation. This only
has one practical advantage right now, which is that you can now make a
linked duplicate and pin it's shape key to a different shape than the first
object.
Further, this makes shape keys correctly fit into the modifier stack design,
which will help implement some other features later. Also it means the mesh
vertex coordinates are now really the orco's.

Notes:
* Game and sequencer RNA, and sequencer header are now out of date
a bit after changes in trunk.
* I didn't know how to port these bugfixes, most likely they are
not needed anymore.
* Fix "duplicate strip" always increase the user count for ipo.
* IPO pinning on sequencer strips was lost during Undo.
View3D has been split now in a local part (RegionView3D) and a
per-area part (old View3D). Currently local is:
- view transform
- camera zoom/offset
- gpencil (todo)
- custom clipping planes
Rest is in Area still, like active camera, draw type, layers,
localview, custom centers, around-settings, transform widget,
gridlines, and so on (mostly stuff as available in header).
To see it work; also added new feature for region split,
press SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S for four-split.
The idea is to make a preset 4-split, configured to stick
to top/right/front views for three views.
Another cool idea to explore is to then box-clip all drawing
based on these 3 views.
Note about the code:
- currently view3d still stores some depricated settings, to
convert from older files. Not all settings are copied over
though, like custom clip planes or the 'lock view to object'.
- since some view3d ops are now on area level, the operators
for it should keep track of that.
Bugfix in transform: quat initialize in operator-invoke missed
one zero.
Als brought back GE to compile for missing Ipos and channels.
Added Bullet/Gimpact concave collision detection to Blender. If your build system isn't updated yet, please add extern/bullet2/src/BulletCollision/Gimpact/*
This allows moving/dynamic concave triangle meshes (decomposing meshes into compound convex shapes, and using 'compound' shapes is still preferred)
but don't have an action got the pose of already added armatures, even
though they're not related. This also fixes an issue where the armature
in Blender would end up in the pose from the game after ESC, removes
unneeded copies made during armature evaluation, and also solves the
constraint copying hack.
the features that are needed to run the game. Compile tested with
scons, make, but not cmake, that seems to have an issue not related
to these changes. The changes include:
* GLSL support in the viewport and game engine, enable in the game
menu in textured draw mode.
* Synced and merged part of the duplicated blender and gameengine/
gameplayer drawing code.
* Further refactoring of game engine drawing code, especially mesh
storage changed a lot.
* Optimizations in game engine armatures to avoid recomputations.
* A python function to get the framerate estimate in game.
* An option take object color into account in materials.
* An option to restrict shadow casters to a lamp's layers.
* Increase from 10 to 18 texture slots for materials, lamps, word.
An extra texture slot shows up once the last slot is used.
* Memory limit for undo, not enabled by default yet because it
needs the .B.blend to be changed.
* Multiple undo for image painting.
* An offset for dupligroups, so not all objects in a group have to
be at the origin.
To take advantage of this feature, you must have a mesh with
relative shape keys and shape Ipo curves with drivers referring
to bones of the mesh's parent armature.
The BGE will automatically detect the dependency between the
shape keys and the armature and execute the Ipo drivers during
the rendering of the armature actions.
This technique is used to make the armature action more natural:
the shape keys compensate in places where the armature deformation
is uggly and the drivers make sure that the shape correction
is synchronized with the bone position.
Note: This is not compatible with shape actions; BLender does
not allow to have Shape Ipo Curves and Shape actions at the same
time.
Shape Action are now supported in the BGE. A new type of actuator "Shape Action" is available on mesh objects. It can be combined with Action actuator on parent armature. Only relative keys are supported. All the usual action options are available: type, blending, priority, Python API. Only actions with shape channels should be specified of course, otherwise the actuator has no effect. Shape action will still work after a mesh replacement provided that the new mesh has compatible shape keys.
