The issue was introduced by the optimization of hidden objects and modifiers
in the f12f7800c296.
The solution here detects that either an object is hidden or the modifier is
disabled and does special tricks to ensure the dependencies are evaluated.
This is done by constructing a separate minimal dependency graph needed for
the object on which the modifier is being applied on. This minimal dependency
graph will not perform visibility optimization, making it so modifier
dependencies are ensured to be evaluated.
The downside of such approach is that some dependencies which are not needed
for the modifier are still evaluated. There is no currently an easy way to
avoid this. At least not without introducing possible race conditions with
other dependency graphs.
If the performance of applying modifiers in such cases becomes a problem the
possible solution would be to create a temporary object with a single modifier
so that only minimal set of dependencies is pulled in the minimal dependency
graph.

The internal state tracking is not fully suited for such kind
of optimization yet.
It is probably not that much work to make them work, but the
issue caused by the changes is serious enough for the studio
so it feels better to revert changes for now and have a closer
look into remaining issues without pressure.

Rename, add comments, and use flag in the depsgraph to ensure the logic
matches.

This change makes it so that objects which are temporary hidden from
the viewport (the icon toggle in outliner) do not affect on the
performance of the viewport.
The attached file demonstrates the issue. Before this change hiding
the object does not change FPS, after this change FPS goes high when
the object is hidden.

Changing the object temporary visibility is already expected to tag
scene for bases updates, which flushes down the stream to the object
visibility update. So the only remaining topic was to ensure the
graph does a special round of visibility update on such changes.

Need to update relations when modifiers are added or removed
since those create nodes in the dependency graph.
Added an assert statement to point at possible culprit so
that issues can be fixed more quickly.

Solves long-standing issue when dependencies of disabled modifiers are
evaluated.
Simple test case: no drivers or animation. Manually enabling modifier
is expected to bring FPS up, enabling modifier will bring FPS (sine
evaluation can not be avoided)

More complex test case: modifier visibility is driven by an animated
property. In am ideal world FPS during property being zero is fast
and when property is 1 the FPS is low.

A mistake in the 0dcee6a3866 which made specific driven visibility
to work, but did not properly handle actual time-based visibility.
The basic idea of the change is to preserve recalculation flags of
nodes which were tagged for update but were not evaluated due to
visibility constraints. In the file from the report this makes it
so tagging which is done first time ID is in the dependency graph
are handled when the ID actually becomes visible. This is what
solved the root of the problem from the report: there was missing
geometry update since it was "swallowed" by the evaluation during
the object being invisible. In other configurations this change
allows to handle pending geometry updates due to animated modifiers
be handled when object becomes visible without time change.
This change also solves visibility issue of the synchronization
component which also started to be handled badly since the
previous fix attempt. Basically, the needed exception in its
visibility handling did not happen and a regular logic was used
for it.
Tested with files from the T99733, T99976, and from the Heist
project.

The issue was caused by the fact that objects with driven or animated
visibility were considered visible by the dependency graph evaluation.
This change makes it so the dependency graph evaluation is aware of
visibility which might be changing. This is achieved by evaluating the
path of the graph which affects objects visibility and adjusts to it
before evaluating the rest of the graph.
There is some time penalty to this, but there does not seem to be a
way to fully avoid this penalty.
With the production shot from the heist project the FPS drops by a
tenth of a frame (~9.4 vs ~9.3 fps) when adding a driver to an object
which keeps it visible. Note that this is a bit hard to measure since
the FPS fluctuates quite a bit throughout the playback. On the other
hand, having a driver on a visibility of a heavy object from character
and setting visibility to false gives big speedup.
Also worth noting that there is no penalty at all when there are no
animated visibilities in the scene.
