There should be no user visible change from this, except that tile size
now affects performance. The goal here is to simplify bake denoising in
D3099, letting it reuse more denoising tiles and pass code.
A lot of code is now shared with regular rendering, with the two main
differences being that we read some render result passes from the bake API
when starting to render a tile, and call the bake kernel instead of the
path trace kernel.
With this kind of design where Cycles asks for tiles from the bake API,
it should eventually be easier to reduce memory usage, show tiles as
they are baked, or bake multiple passes at once, though there's still
quite some work needed for that.

Rather than passing around void pointers, various Blender image sources now
subclass this. OIIO is also just another type of image loader.

This feature takes some inspiration from
"RenderMan: An Advanced Path Tracing Architecture for Movie Rendering" and
"A Hierarchical Automatic Stopping Condition for Monte Carlo Global Illumination"
The basic principle is as follows:
While samples are being added to a pixel, the adaptive sampler writes half
of the samples to a separate buffer. This gives it two separate estimates
of the same pixel, and by comparing their difference it estimates convergence.
Once convergence drops below a given threshold, the pixel is considered done.
When a pixel has not converged yet and needs more samples than the minimum,
its immediate neighbors are also set to take more samples. This is done in order
to more reliably detect sharp features such as caustics. A 3x3 box filter that
is run periodically over the tile buffer is used for that purpose.
After a tile has finished rendering, the values of all passes are scaled as if
they were rendered with the full number of samples. This way, any code operating
on these buffers, for example the denoiser, does not need to be changed for
per-pixel sample counts.

This patch adds a new user-configurable option to change at which sample viewport
denoising should kick in. Setting it to zero retains previous behavior (start immediately), while
other values will defer denoising until the particular sample has been reached. Default is now
at one, to avoid the weirdness that is AI denoising at small resolutions.

This simplifies compositors setups and will be consistent with Eevee render
passes from D6331. There's a continuum between these passes and it's not clear
there is much advantage to having them available separately.

The OptiX denoiser can be a great help when rendering in the viewport, since it is really fast
and needs few samples to produce convincing results. This patch therefore adds support for
using any Cycles denoiser in the viewport also (but only the OptiX one is selectable because
the NLM one is too slow to be usable currently). It also adds support for denoising on a
different device than rendering (so one can e.g. render with the CPU but denoise with OptiX).

This patch adds support for the OptiX denoiser as an alternative to the existing NLM denoiser in Cycles. It's re-using the same denoising architecture based on tiles and therefore implicitly also works with multiple GPUs.

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images
Thanks to Brecht for the review and to all who tested the intermediate versions!

Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.
Implemented by Lukas, with tweaks by Brecht.

This change implements the basics as described in {T68312} for the
shading modes.
* LookDev shading mode is renamed to Material Preview. It always uses Eevee as renderer, and is intended to provide a fast material preview suitable for texture painting, and texture and material setup.
* Rendered shading gains "Use Scene Lights" and "Use Scene World" options similar to current Material Preview. These will be enabled by default. When Use Scene World is turned off, HDRIs will be used for lighting instead. These options are available for EEVEE and Cycles.
* Renderers will be able to customize the shading settings panel and add additional settings.

These are the internal changes to Cycles, for Blender integration there are no
functional changes in this commit.
Images are converted to scene linear color space on file load, and on reading
from the OpenImageIO texture cache. 8-bit images are compressed with the sRGB
transfer function to avoid precision loss while keeping memory usages low. This
also means that for common cases of 8-bit sRGB images no conversion happens at
all on image loading.

The main goals of this change is faster starting when using foreground
rendering.
This patch will build kernels in parallel to the update process of
the scene. When these optimized kernels are not available (yet) an AO
kernel will be used.
These AO kernels are fast to compile (3-7 seconds) and can be
reused by all scenes. When the final kernels become available we
will switch to these kernels.
In background mode the AO kernels will not be used.
Some kernels are being used during Scene update (displace, background
light). When these kernels are being used the process can halt until
these become available.

This adds a cycles.denoise_animation operator, which denoises an animation
sequence or individual file. Renders must be saved as multilayer EXR files
with denoising data passes.
By default file path and frame range come from the current scene, and EXR
files are denoised in-place. Alternatively, a different input and/or output
file path can be provided.
Denoising settings come from the current view layer. Renders can be denoised
again with different settings, as the original noisy image is preserved along
with other passes and metadata.
There is no user interface yet for this feature, that comes later.

This is a request by the studio here to make it possible to see how
many samples were used to render a specific shot or a frame. It is a
bit more tricky than simply stamping number of samples from a scene
since rendering is happening in multiple ranges of samples.
This change makes it so Cycles saves configured number of samples for
the specific view layer, and also stores start sample and number of
samples when rendering only a subrange of all samples.
The format used is "cycles.<view_layer_name>.><field>", which allows
to have information about all layers in a multi-layer EXR file.
Ideally we can store simplified "cycles.<field>" if we know that there
is only one render layer in the file, but detecting this is somewhat
tricky since Cycles operates on an evaluated scene which always have
single view layer.
The metadata is shown in the Metadata panels for clip, image and
sequencer spaces.

Prefiltering of feature passes will happen during rendering, which can
then be used for denoising immediately or written as a render pass for
later (animation) denoising.
The number of denoising data passes written is reduced because of this,
leaving out the feature variance passes. The passes are now Normal,
Albedo, Depth, Shadowing, Variance and Intensity.

When using `--cycles-resumable-num-chunks N` to render a subset of the
samples, having N close to the total number of samples causes rounding
issues.
For example, a file configured for 250 samples and 150 chunks should
have 1.6666 sample per chunk. The old code rounded this to 2 samples per
chunk, which would result in too many samples being rendered. When
rendering a single chunk this doesn't matter much, but when larger chunk
ranges are rendered with `--cycles-resumable-start-chunk` and
`--cycles-resumable-end-chunk` the rounding errors start to add up.
By multiplying with the number of chunks to render first, and only round
to integers after that, this issue is solved. In the above example,
rendering 3 chunks will correctly render 5 samples rather than 6.
When the requested number of chunks is larger than the number of samples
there will be duplicate samples (that is, sample N appearing both in
chunk M and M+1). In this case a warning is printed to stderr.
This is needed for T50977 Progressive render: use non-uniform sample
chunks.

This is a quick workaround to prevent the crashes with multi-view.
The ultimate solution can be plenty, and would turn around refactoring
Cycles to handle multi-view internally, so that depsgraph could be freed
before render with no problems.
