This patch is an attempt to update D1008 (Particle Mesher Modifier by @Kévin Dietrich (kevindietrich)) for 2.8.
Currently it still has an issue with the particle system, where totpart seems to be 0 all the time and
i am not sure how to properly get the evaluated version (aka a particlesystem WITH particles actually).
Putting this here so other devs may have a look at it as well.
The idea behind this new attempt is to have the particle meshing based on OpenVDB now too, as well as
having it in a separate new modifier. This was discussed with @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) on blender.chat.

| 55 | what is going wrong here... what needs to be eval'ed ? object ? modifier ? particlesystem ? all of it ? or some combination ? so far it either led to totpart == 0 or the eval'ed particlesystem being NULL | |

Solved the particle issue by treating the particlemesher modifier like the dynamic paint and smoke modifiers regarding particle system copy and deletion.
Fixed some crash bugs regarding loading and saving as well as copying objects with this modifier too.
Need to deal properly with Ngons still for the mask object, like using looptris or something like that.
But i think a first pass of general review may already happen.

since @Brecht Van Lommel (brecht) and me discussed the revival of the particlemesher in blender.chat, setting him as reviewer here.

Not necessary any more since particle meshing functionality is included as mode toggle inside D4960 (voxel remesher / metaball remesher)
