High quality emitters need to maintain state themselves. For example,
this it needs to remember when it spawned the last particle.
This is especially important when the birth rate is changing over time.
Otherwise, there will be very visible artifacts.
It is quite likely that other components of the simulation need their own
state as well. Therefore, I refactored the `SimulationState` type a bit,
to make it more extensible. Instead of using hardcoded type numbers, a
string is used to identify the state type. Also, instead of having switch
statements in many places, there is a new `SimulationStateType` that
encapsulates information about how a specific state is created/freed/copied/...
I removed the integration with the point cache for now, because it was
not used anyway in it's current state.

Object sockets work now, but only the new Object Transforms and the
Particle Mesh Emitter node use it. The emitter does not actually
use the mesh surface yet. Instead, new particles are just emitted around
the origin of the object.
Internally, handles to object data blocks are passed around in the network,
instead of raw object pointers. Using handles has a couple of benefits:
* The caller of the function has control over which handles can be resolved
and therefore limit access to specific data. The set of data blocks that
is accessed by a node tree should be known statically. This is necessary
for a proper integration with the dependency graph.
* When the pointer to an object changes (e.g. after restarting Blender),
all handles are still valid.
* When an object is deleted, the handle is invalidated without causing crashes.
* The handle is just an integer that can be stored per particle and can be cached easily.
The mapping between handles and their corresponding data blocks is
stored in the Simulation data block.

This still cannot be controlled by the user. Currently, all particles are
killed after two seconds

This updates the usage of integer types in code I wrote according to our new style guides.
Major changes:
* Use signed instead of unsigned integers in many places.
* C++ containers in blenlib use `int64_t` for size and indices now (instead of `uint`).
* Hash values for C++ containers are 64 bit wide now (instead of 32 bit).
I do hope that I broke no builds, but it is quite likely that some compiler reports
slightly different errors. Please let me know when there are any errors. If the fix
is small, feel free to commit it yourself.
I compiled successfully on linux with gcc and on windows.

This adds a basic internal emitter for every particle simulation.
The emitter cannot be controlled by the user yet. That will
come next.

Instead of depending on static initialization order of globals use
static variables within functions. Those are initialized on first use.
This is every so slighly less efficient, but avoids a full class of problems.

I removed bf_blenkernel from `nodes/CMakeLists.txt` again (added it yesterday),
because now this was causing me unresolved symbol errors... Without it, cmake
seems to link the libraries bf_simulation, bf_blenkernel and bf_nodes in the right
order. Not sure if that is just luck or if it is guaranteed.
It was possible to fix the issue by using cmakes `LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY`,
but that is probably bad style.

In a previous commit the `physics` folder has been renamed to `simulation`.
This commit updates the function/file prefix accordingly.
|
|
Function names will be updated in a separate commit.
This will be the place for the new particle system and other
code related to the Simulation data block. We don't want
to have all that code in blenkernel.
Approved by brecht.
