This patch changes the `MEM_DEVICE_ONLY` type to only allocate on the device and fail if
that is not possible anymore because out-of-memory (since OptiX acceleration structures may
not be allocated in host memory). It also fixes high peak memory usage during OptiX
acceleration structure building.

Adds support for building multiple BVH types in order to support using both CPU and OptiX
devices for rendering simultaneously. Primitive packing for Embree and OptiX is now
standalone, so it only needs to be run once and can be shared between the two. Additionally,
BVH building was made a device call, so that each device backend can decide how to
perform the building. The multi-device for instance creates a special multi-BVH that holds
references to several sub-BVHs, one for each sub-device.

This encapsulates Node socket members behind a set of specific methods;
as such it is no longer possible to directly access Node class members
from exporters and parts of Cycles.
The methods are defined via the NODE_SOCKET_API macros in `graph/
node.h`, and are for getting or setting a specific socket's value, as
well as querying or modifying the state of its update flag.
The setters will check whether the value has changed and tag the socket
as modified appropriately. This will let us know how a Node has changed
and what to update, which is the first concrete step toward a more
granular scene update system.
Since the setters will tag the Node sockets as modified when passed
different data, this patch also removes the various modified methods
on Nodes in favor of Node::is_modified which checks the sockets'
update flags status.

This avoids recomputing the BVH for geometries that do not have changes in topology but whose vertices are modified (like a simple character animation), and gives up to 40% speedup for BVH building.
This is only available for viewport renders at the moment.

This reverts commit 527f8b32b32187f754e5b176db6377736f9cb8ff. It is causing
motion blur test failures and crashes in some renders, reverting until this is
fixed.

This splits the volume related data (properties for rendering and attributes) of the Mesh node
into a new `Volume` node type.
This `Volume` node derives from the `Mesh` class since we generate a mesh for the bounds of the
volume, as such we can safely work on `Volumes` as if they were `Meshes`, e.g. for BVH creation.
However such code should still check for the geometry type of the object to be `MESH` or `VOLUME`
which may be bug prone if this is forgotten.
This is part of T79131.

Also removing the curve system manager which only stored a few curve intersection
settings. These are all changes towards making shape and subdivision settings
per-object instead of per-scene, but there is more work to do here.

Looping over all primitives for every object is really slow, so this patch avoids that by moving
the necessary assignments inline with the primitive merging done for every geometry.

The acceleration structure built by OptiX may be different between GPUs, so cannot assume the memory size is the same for all.
This fixes that by moving the memory management for all OptiX acceleration structures into the responsibility of each device (was already the case for BLAS previously, now for TLAS too).

This uses hardware-accelerated raytracing on NVIDIA RTX graphics cards.
It is still currently experimental. Most features are supported, but a few
are still missing like baking, branched path tracing and using CPU memory.
