This commit contains the minimum to make clang build/work with blender, asan and ninja build support is forthcoming
Things to note:
1) Builds and runs, and is able to pass all tests (except for the freestyle_stroke_material.blend test which was broken at that time for all platforms by the looks of it)
2) It's slightly faster than msvc when using cycles. (time in seconds, on an i7-3370)

3) clang on windows uses a drop in replacement for the Microsoft cl.exe (takes some of the Microsoft parameters, but not all, and takes some of the clang parameters but not all) and uses ms headers + libraries + linker, so you still need visual studio installed and will use our existing vc14 svn libs.
4) X64 only currently, X86 builds but crashes on startup.
5) Tested with llvm/clang 6.0.0
6) Requires visual studio integration, available at https://github.com/LazyDodo/llvm-vs2017-integration
7) The Microsoft compiler spawns a few copies of cl in parallel to get faster build times, clang doesn't, so the build time is 3-4x slower than with msvc.
8) No openmp support yet. Have not looked at this much, the binary distribution of clang doesn't seem to include it on windows.
9) No ASAN support yet, some of the sanitizers can be made to work, but it was decided to leave support out of this commit.

With better directory layout and more proper include
statements we can avoid several local modifications,
such as changing config.h for Windows Glog and the
ones related on pass-through statements in logging
headers in Glog.
This commit also makes unused functions not-a-warning
for external code.
Seems we can not use include directories order trick, since
files are included form inside ".." string, which forces current
directory to be checked first.
We've got quite comprehensive BMesh based implementation, which is way easier
for maintenance than abandoned Carve library.
After all the time BMesh implementation was working on the same level of
limitations about manifold meshes and touching edges than Carve. Is better
to focus on maintaining one boolean implementation now.

This brings separate initialization for libcuda and libnvrtc, which
fixes Cycles nvrtc compilation not working on build machines without
CUDA hardware available.

nvcc is very picky regarding compiler versions, severely limiting the compiler we can use, this commit adds a nvrtc based compiler that'll allow us to build the cubins even if the host compiler is unsupported. for details see D2913.

The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3
Fixes T51301

Avoid calculating a new split-index when re-fitting.
While checking if a knot can be removed, the index with the highest error
can be used as a candidate to replace the knot
(in the case it can't be removed).
It is disabled by default, so should not affect existing configurations.
Main benefits of this goes as:
- Linux distros can use that to avoid libraries duplication and link
blender package against gflags package from the system.
- It it easier to test whether Blender works with updated version of
Gflags prior to re-bundling the library.
Rewrite the current range-tree API used by dyn-topo undo
to avoid inefficiencies from stdc++'s set use.
- every call to `take_any` (called for all verts & faces)
removed and added to the set.
- further range adjustment also took 2x btree edits.
This patch inlines a btree which is modified in-place,
so common resizing operations don't need to perform a remove & insert.
Ranges are stored in a list so `take_any` can access the first item
without a btree lookup.
Since range-tree isn't a bottleneck in sculpting, this only gives minor speedups.
Measured approx ~15% overall faster calculation for sculpting,
although this number time doesn't include GPU updates and depends on how
much edits fragment the range-tree.
