Cosmetic change for consistency according to the naming guidelines in 2.80.
Also place Render first, Viewport later to match other areas in Blender
such as the sampling panel in EEVEE/Cycles.
This is something where there is no single correct behavior,
sometimes it's needed to ignore the crease to make mesh more
smooth. But sometimes crease is to be considered after first
subdivision surface: for example, when adding extra subdivisions
for render-time displacement.
Made it an option whether modifier needs to take crease into
account or not.
Existing files should be openable in the 2.7 compatible way,
to re-create an old behavior the options is to be manually
disabled in the modifier settings.

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...
Will document the new options in release notes, then in manual.
Still a bit of work to do on the bulging shape that appears
on cube corners if using arc inner miters, but will do that later.
Also need to do something smarter in clamp overlap.
The units scaling was inappropriate when the bevel value was
to be interpreted as a percent, so added a separate rna property
for "Width Percent" and made UI show the width appropriate for
current offset_type.
Move the bevel hardening code all into bmesh_bevel.c.
Based on user feedback, rewrote the bevel hardening algorithm
to be more what users want.
Based on user feedback, changed the UI, removing some
not-useful options. Now hardening normals while beveling
is enabled by a simple checkbox.
Now setting face strength gives options for which faces
get their face strength set.
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.

The Nearest Surface Point shrink method, while fast, is neither
smooth nor continuous: as the source point moves, the projected
point can both stop and jump. This causes distortions in the
deformation of the shrinkwrap modifier, and the motion of an
animated object with a shrinkwrap constraint.
This patch implements a new mode, which, instead of using the simple
nearest point search, iteratively solves an equation for each triangle
to find a point which has its interpolated normal point to or from the
original vertex. Non-manifold boundary edges are treated as infinitely
thin cylinders that cast normals in all perpendicular directions.
Since this is useful for the constraint, and having multiple
objects with constraints targeting the same guide mesh is a quite
reasonable use case, rather than calculating the mesh boundary edge
data over and over again, it is precomputed and cached in the mesh.

The old name Instance was logic when the modifier created new object instances, but now works equal to mesh Array modifier, so the old name was not logic and must be Array.
Also added a Object to use as offset similar to mesh Array modifier.
Allow raycasting in two directions and culling front or back faces.
Also implement a new Invert Cull option in both constraint and
modifier that can be used to aim for faces aligned with the project
axis direction when raycasting both ways.

Now it's possible to define what material is used in the generated strokes and if the strokes are put in front of the original (default) or keep the original in front.
Before, the generated strokes have been always on top of the original because they were drawn later.
In addition to the original map to surface and Keep Above Surface,
add modes that only affect vertices that are inside or outside
the object. This is inspired by the Limit Distance constraint,
and can be useful for crude collision detection in rigs.
The inside/outside test works based on face normals and may not be
completely reliable near 90 degree or sharper angles in the target.

This commit adds a new armature modifier for grease pencil. The deformations are done reusing the mesh deform routines.
There is also a new operator in weight paint mode to help the artist to generate weights base on armatures. This operator is required because 2D animation workflow is not equal to meshes when parent an object to armatures.
In the drawing engine has been added the option to handle the Fade object parameter used in armatures to see the strokes while move the bones.
When rename bones, all related data of grease pencil is renamed too. This not only affect new armature code, but also layers parented and hook modifiers.
Thanks @aligorith for his review and help.
Misleading name since it's between 0..1.
Use as a keyword argument to prepare for keyword only args.
Also document that leaving unset has special behavior.
The initial design assumed that there was only one object for each unique name, but that was not the case when instances were created.
Now, instances are supported and speed has been greatly improved when repetitions are used.
As a result of this change, the option to create objects has been removed in the Instances modifier. This option was strange and was also against Blender's design rules, since a modifier should never create objects. The old functionality of the modifier can be achieved with instances.
Also, several memory leakage problems that were not previously detected have been eliminated, and especially in the grid and in the drawing process
Onion Skin is not supported in multi-user datablocks. Support this, makes incompatible with instances. We need find a solution in the long term, but now it's better keep disabled and make instances work. Anyway, the new instances makes unnecessary to use muli-user datablocks.
Currently no functional changes, just exposes all settings which we need
for OpenSubdiv, similar to what Subsurf modifier is doing already.

For users it defines how accurate vertex positions are in terms
of limit surface (as in, how close the vertices locations to the
condition when they are calculated for an infinitely subdivided
mesh).
This affects things like:
- Irregular vertices (joint of 3 or more edges)
- Crease
Keep quality value low for performance.
NOTE: Going higher does not necessarily mean real improvement
in quality, ideal case might be reached well before maximum
quality of 10. Quality of 3 is a good starting point.
Internally quality is translated directly to adaptive subdivision
level.

There are following reasons to do so:
- The plan is to replace it with some sort of object or viewport option,
so we can apply OpenSubdiv subdivisions on top of modifier stack and
keep modifier stack purely CPU side.
This will solve issues when adding some relation in scene will force
modifier to be evaluated on CPU.
- With new upcoming OpenSubdiv based CPU modifier implementation we can
cache topology similar to what GPU side was doing, which will already
be reasonably faster.
- OpenSubdiv GPU does not work since the OpenGL version bump, and is
to be rewritten with all the adaptive refine options kept in mind.
Since OpenSubdiv GPU was already broken and was only causing object
to become invisible, there is no reason to keep having that option in
the modifier.

This replaces old single toggle option to subdivide UVs with
an enum which can have more options. The usecase for this is
to be compatible with other software. But we also might choose
different subdivision type as default in the future.
DNA and underlying code supports all possible options, but
only the ones which are compatible with old subdivision code
are currently exposes.

Thanks to Charlie Jolly (mistajolly@gmail.com) for his patch D3586 that added create materials to opacity modifier.
I had to do some more changes to get all running.
