Fix T56547: Single column properties not aligned

Fix vertex group functions after merge

The custom api has been replaced by standard functions.

Fix unreported: the gridview is no longer computed, so the snapping functions have to use the actual grid scale.

Merge branch 'blender2.8' into greasepencil-object

GP: New operator to copy layers between objects

The operator allows to copy a complete layer with all frames or only active frame to a new object.

Can be found in edit specials menu (W key) or in Layers specials menu (last button near layer list).

Implement BMesh Operator string enumerators and docs generation.

Partial implementation of T56496 for review.

fix for particle UI and mesh name update

Build environment: Fix for C placement independent code

Need to pass -fPIC to C code as well.
Without this blosc is not being properly placement independent.

Build Environment: fix alembic, openvdb, ffmpeg, osl build on Linux.

Fix assert displaying UV's of faceless meshes

Handle multi-hidden-layers when converting groups to collections.

That is kind of mandatory with complex rigged-character groups, with
hundreds of helper objects, and a few useful ones being hidden on
specific layers (like e.g. the main rig...).

It is especially critical point with static override, which won't allow
to move objects between collections and such (that would be a nightmare
to implement and handle).

Note that this is rather basic implementation, we could go further and
move all objects in all layers they are 'active', but that would
probably be overkill.

BMesh: improvements/fixes to select side of active

- Add orientation option (defaults to local, as 2.7x does)
can optionally use global, cursor, view... etc.
- Fix typo which caused select flush to fail.
- Fix for instanced objects (was only checking one instance).
- Only tag for changes if a change is made.
- Skip meshes with all vertices selected.

Cleanup: rename 'vindex' to 'def_nr'

Name hinted 'vertex index', where it's the index of the vertex group.

GP: replace custom API w/ BKE_deform API

Fix grease pencil weight invert

Was always using first group.

Icons: update to rBL62101

- Updated icons for Annotation
- Updated Sculpt Mode icons once again, with a flat base.
Makes them more readable
- Updated Hair tools icons

Cleanup: warning, use const args

Redo Armature modifier using standard modules

Now the armature modifier is using the same functions used in Mesh and Lattice armatures and share the same parameters.

This makes the code easy to maintain.
