[Bf-blender-npr] Updates to the Freestyle API

[folkert de vries]

Hello fellow Freestyle users,

You may have seen that I, in cooperation with TK, have been working on
rewriting Freestyle's Python internals. most notably in D319
<https://developer.blender.org/D319>, D545
<https://developer.blender.org/D545> and D222
<https://developer.blender.org/D222>. Apart from speedups in a few shaders
(primarily the BluePrint shaders, where over 100% was achieved) the end
user shouldn't really have noticed.

Now that the foundation is there, it is time to update the parameter editor
as well. To make sure this will go as smoothly as possible, I've made a
regression testing script, that can be found here
<https://github.com/folkertdev/freestyle-regression-tests/tree/master>. It
contains some nice snippets, especially if you want to measure shader
execution time.

Whilst said script tests the basic functionality for correctness, I'd also
like to test my changes "in the real world", so testing the changes with
serious usage of freestyle is much appreciated. The changes to the
parameter editor can be found here (D623)
<https://developer.blender.org/D623>

Finally, if you have small ideas for improving Freestyle shaders, now is
the time to ask.

Happy blendering,

Folkert de Vries (flokkievids)
