Fix T52531: Blender 2D stabilisation node issue when autoscale is selected

Threading conflict, should be safe for 2.79.

UI: Change simplify options order

Fix error in simplify

The simplify was pplied with master check disabled

Simplify: new option to remove fill lines

For filling areas, sometimes is good to have a way to hide the external line of the stroke that makes the fill when select simplify.

Fixed the error of render flag because the storage field was too small, so a new field has been added for simplify only.

merged the master branch

New Information Panel

This panel shows information about number of layers, frames, strokes, points and palettes used.

Notes: The number of frames in the internal data, not the number of different keyframes number.

The panel is not updated automatically to avoid performace issues. Close and reopen panel to refresh. Maybe, this could be changed, but need to be checked before.

DNA data for explicitly storing hair guide curves.

The idea is to separate guide curves from the various methods of
generating them. Guides could be created explicitly (as hair
strands), or automatically from vertices or external mesh data.

A guide then forms the basis for interpolating the render data
(fibers).

Merge branch 'blender2.8' into greasepencil-object

New Simplify panel

These options allow to speed up the viewport similar to mesh simplify.

Note: The render options are disabled while the render workflow is defined.

Bake Action: operate on selected objects

Previously only the active object was used.

Use coroutines to support baking frames for multiple objects at once,
without having to playback the animation multiple times.

PyAPI: Add object argument to bake_action

Avoids having to set the scene's active object first.

Eevee: Shadows: Update cascaded shadowmaps when rendering probes.

This is really resource intensive but there is no other way to correctly handle it.

Eevee: Shadow: Fix, improve cascade shadow map UI.

Eevee: Shadows: Add cubemap filtering and adaptive sample count.

Filter size is constant in world space and not dependant of shadow resolution.
The filter size is limited to the number of precomputed samples.

Eevee: Shadow: Fix Incorrect shadowing after sun lamp far clip plane.

Reject cascade sample if not in shadowmap volume.

Eevee: Shadows: Filtering improvement.

- Replace poisson by concentric samples: Less variance. They are sorted by radius then by angle.
- Separate filtering into 2 blur. First blur is 3x3 box blur. Second is user dependant.
- Group fetches by group of 4.

Eevee: Add Cascaded Shadow Map options.

Lamps: Remove uper limit of the buffer bias parameter.

Eevee: Add Cascaded Shadow Map support with filtering.

This brings some data structure changes.
Shared shadow data are stored in ShadowData (in glsl) (aka EEVEE_Shadow in C).
This structure contains the array indices of the first shadow element of this shadow "object".
It also contains how many shadow to evaluate (to be used for Multiple shadow maps).

The filtering is noisy and needs improvement.

Eevee: Shadow: Add high bitdepth option.

This option is here for reducing the memory usage of shadow maps.

Also lower bitdepth are quicker to process.
