Task: Graph Flow Task Scheduling

Add TBB::flow graph scheduling to BLI_task.

Using flow graphs, a graph of nodes (tasks) and links can be defined.
Work can flow though the graph. During this process the execution of the nodes will be
scheduled among the available threads.

We are planning to use this to improve the threading in the draw manager.

The implemented API is still limited it only supports sequential flows. Joins and buffers
are not supported. We could eventually support them as part of an CPP API. These features
from uses compile time templates and are hard to make a clean C-API for this.

+ * Any node can be triggered to start a chain of tasks. Normally you would trigger a root node but
+ * it is supported to start the chain of tasks anywhere in the forest or tree. When a node
+ * completes, the execution flow is forwarded via the created edges.

+ * In this example After `root` is finished, `node_1` and `node_2` will be started.

+ * After scheduling work we need to wait until all the tasks have been finished.

+ *    BLI_task_graph_work_and_wait();

+ * When finished you can clean up all the resources by freeing the task_graph. Nodes are owned by

+ *
+ *    BLI_task_graph_free(task_graph);
+ *
+ * Work can enter a tree on any node. Normally this would be the root_node.
+ * A `task_graph` can be reused, but the caller needs to make sure the task_data is reset.
+ *
+ * ** Task-Data **
+ *
+ * Typically you want give a task data to work on.
+ * Task data can be shared with other nodes, but be carefull not to free the data multiple times.
+ * Task data is freed when calling `BLI_task_graph_free`.
+ *
+ *    MyData *task_data = MEM_callocN(sizeof(MyData), __func__);
