BMesh: remove redundant mesh-backups from EDBM_op_* API

Using BMesh operators through the edit-mesh API created a full copy
of the mesh so it was possible to restore the mesh in case
one of the operators raised an error.

Remove support for automatic backup/restore from the EDBM_op_* API's
as it adds significant overhead and was rarely used.

Operators that need this can use the BMBackup API to backup & restore
the mesh in case of failure.

Add warning levels to BMO_error_raise so operators can report problems
without it being interpreted as a request to cancel the operation.

For high-poly meshes creating and freeing a full copy is an expensive
operation, removing this gives a speedup of ~1.77x for most operators
except for "connect_verts" / "connect_vert_pair"
which still uses this functionality.
