After tests were bundled in a single executable and cycles and libmv
created their own tests, the warnings on macOS have gone over 800.
The reason is setting `*_LIBRARIES` to names of the libraries
and later using `link_directories` to link them properly.

Warnings like the following popup for every target/executable,
for every library it links to.
```
ld: warning: directory not found for option
'-L/Users/me/blender-build/blender/../lib/darwin/jpeg/lib/Debug'
```
The patch completes a step towards removing `link_directories` as
mentioned in TODO at several places.
The patch uses absolute paths to link libraries and removes
all `*_LIBPATH`s except `PYTHON_LIBPATH` from
`platform_apple.cmake` file. (The corner case where it's used seems
like dead code. Python is no longer shipped with that file structure.)
Also, unused code for LLVM-3.4 has been removed.
Also, guards to avoid searching libraries in system directories have
been added.
`APPLE` platform now no longer needs `setup_libdirs`,
`cycles_link_directories`, and `link_directories`.
The number of warnings now is less than 100, most of them being
deprecation ones in dependencies.
This patch depended on {rBb746179d0add}, {rB2fdbe4d05011},
{rB402a4cadba49} and {rBd7f482f88ecb}.

Caused by f04260d8c6.
Cycles' CMake defines macros with the same name as Blender, which
override the Blender ones. There's however a small difference in the
re-defined `remove_cc_flag()`, the Cycles version only takes one flag at
a time. So I guess Blender's calls to it would only result in the first
flag being removed.
Of course Cycles shouldn't override any Blender macros, but I'll leave
that up to Brecht to fix properly.
* Support precompiled libraries on Linux
* Add license headers
* Refactoring to deduplicate code
Includes work by Ray Molenkamp and Grische for precompiled libraries.

This is a more correct fix to the issue Brecht was fixing in D6600.
While the fix in that patch worked fine for linking it broke ASAN
runtime under some circumstances.
For example, `make full debug developer` would compile, but trying
to start blender will cause assert failure in ASAN (related on check
that ASAN is not running already).
Top-level idea: leave it to CMake to keep track of dependency graph.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that target like "blender" is
configured to use a lot of static libraries coming from Blender sources
and to use external static libraries. There is nothing which ensures
order between blender's and external libraries. Only order of blender
libraries is guaranteed.
It was possible that due to a cycle or other circumstances some of
blender libraries would have been passed to linker after libraries
it uses, causing linker errors.
For example, this order will likely fail:
libbf_blenfont.a libfreetype6.a libbf_blenfont.a
This change makes it so blender libraries are explicitly provided
their dependencies to an external libraries, which allows CMake to
ensure they are always linked against them.
General rule here: if bf_foo depends on an external library it is
to be provided to LIBS for bf_foo.
For example, if bf_blenkernel depends on opensubdiv then LIBS in
blenkernel's CMakeLists.txt is to include OPENSUBDIB_LIBRARIES.
The change is made based on searching for used include folders
such as OPENSUBDIV_INCLUDE_DIRS and adding corresponding libraries
to LIBS ion that CMakeLists.txt. Transitive dependencies are not
simplified by this approach, but I am not aware of any downside of
this: CMake should be smart enough to simplify them on its side.
And even if not, this shouldn't affect linking time.
Benefit of not relying on transitive dependencies is that build
system is more robust towards future changes. For example, if
bf_intern_opensubiv is no longer depends on OPENSUBDIV_LIBRARIES
and all such code is moved to bf_blenkernel this will not break
linking.
The not-so-trivial part is change to blender_add_lib (and its
version in Cycles). The complexity is caused by libraries being
provided as a single list argument which doesn't allow to use
different release and debug libraries on Windows. The idea is:
- Have every library prefixed as "optimized" or "debug" if
separation is needed (non-prefixed libraries will be considered
"generic").
- Loop through libraries passed to function and do simple parsing
which will look for "optimized" and "debug" words and specify
following library to corresponding category.
This isn't something particularly great. Alternative would be to
use target_link_libraries() directly, which sounds like more code
but which is more explicit and allows to have more flexibility
and control comparing to wrapper approach.
Tested the following configurations on Linux, macOS and Windows:
- make full debug developer
- make full release developer
- make lite debug developer
- make lite release developer
NOTE: Linux libraries needs to be compiled with D6641 applied,
otherwise, depending on configuration, it's possible to run into
duplicated zlib symbols error.

Use CMake's target_link_libraries instead of manually maintaining
library dependencies in a single list.
In practice adding new libraries often ended up being guess-work,
now each library lists the libraries it uses.
This was used for the game player executable so libraries
could optionally link to stubs.
If we need this functionality it can be done using target-properties
as described in T46725.
This patch changes the huge list of projects in visual studio into a nice tree matching the source folder structure. see D2823 for details.
