WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG was used for rendering BVH debugging passes. But since we
mainly use Embree an OptiX now, this information is no longer important.
WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG_NAN will enable additional checks for NaNs and invalid values
in the kernel, for Cycles developers. Previously these asserts where enabled in
all debug builds, but this is too likely to crash Blender in scenes that render
fine regardless of the NaNs. So this is behind a CMake option now.
Fixes T90240

Currently, the OptiX BVH build options are selected based on whether
we are in background mode (final renders) or not (viewport renders).
In background mode, the BVH is built for fast path tracing and low
memory footprint, while in viewport, it is built for fast updates.
However, on platforms without OpenGL support, the background flag is
always set to true and prevents using fast BVH builds in the viewport.
Now, the BVH options derive from the Scene BVH settings:
* if BVH is static, a fast to trace BVH is built
* if BVH is dynamic, a fast to update BVH is built

Using displacement runs the shader eval kernel, but since OptiX modules are not loaded when
baking is active, those were not available and therefore failed to launch. This fixes that by falling
back to the CUDA kernels.

This is done to ensure building with newer OptiX SDK releases that add new struct fields gives
deterministic results (no uninitialized fields and therefore random data is passed to OptiX).

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.

Branched path tracing is not supported for OptiX, and it would still use the
number of AA samples from there when branched path was enabled by the user
earlier but auto disabled and hidden in the UI when using OptiX.

In my testing this works, but it requires me to remove the min(start_sample...) part in the
adaptive sampling kernel, and I assume there's a reason why it was there?

with old SDK
Commit d259e7dcfbbd37cec5a45fdfb554f24de10d0268 increased the instance limit, but only provided
a fall back for the host code for older OptiX SDKs, not for kernel code. This caused a mismatch when
an old SDK was used (as is currently the case on buildbot) and subsequent rendering artifacts. This
fixes that by moving the bit that is checked to a common location that works with both old an new
SDK versions.

For a while now OptiX had support for 28-bits of instance IDs, instead of the initial 24-bits (see also
value reported by OPTIX_DEVICE_PROPERTY_LIMIT_MAX_INSTANCE_ID). This change makes use of
that and also adds an error reported when the number of instances an OptiX acceleration structure is
created with goes beyond the limit, to make this clear instead of just rendering an image with artifacts.

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 enables support for baking when OptiX is active, but uses CUDA for that behind the scenes, since

Support for the AO and bevel shader nodes requires calling "optixTrace" from within the shading
VM, which is only allowed from inlined functions to the raygen program or callables. This patch
therefore converts the shading VM to use direct callables to make it work. To prevent performance
regressions a separate kernel module is compiled and used for this purpose.

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 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 patch adds support for the curve primitive from OptiX to Cycles. It's currently hidden
behind a debug option, since there can be some slight rendering differences still (because no
backface culling is performed and something seems off with endcaps). The curve primitive
was added with the OptiX 7.1 SDK and requires a r450 driver or newer, so this also updates
the codebase to be able to build with the new SDK.

Enabling render and viewport denoising is now both done from the render
properties. View layers still can individually be enabled/disabled for
denoising and have their own denoising parameters.
Note that the denoising engine also affects how denoising data passes are
output even if no denoising happens on the render itself, to make the passes
compatible with the engine.
This includes internal refactoring for how denoising parameters are passed
along, trying to avoid code duplication and unclear naming.

This keeps render results compatible for combined CPU + GPU rendering.
Peformance and quality primitives is quite different than before. There
are now two options:
* Rounded Ribbon: render hair as flat ribbon with (fake) rounded normals, for
fast rendering. Hair curves are subdivided with a fixed number of user
specified subdivisions.
This gives relatively good results, especially when used with the Principled
Hair BSDF and hair viewed from a typical distance. There are artifacts when
viewed closed up, though this was also the case with all previous primitives
(but different ones).
* 3D Curve: render hair as 3D curve, for accurate results when viewing hair
close up. This automatically subdivides the curve until it is smooth.
This gives higher quality than any of the previous primitives, but does come
at a performance cost and is somewhat slower than our previous Thick curves.
The main problem here is performance. For CPU and OpenCL rendering performance
seems usually quite close or better for similar quality results.
However for CUDA and Optix, performance of 3D curve intersection is problematic,
with e.g. 1.45x longer render time in Koro (though there is no equivalent quality
and rounded ribbons seem fine for that scene). Any help or ideas to optimize this
are welcome.

The input data to the OptiX denoiser was clamped to 0..10000 as required, but it could easily
exceed that range with a high number of samples (since the data contains the overall sum). To
fix that, divide by the number of samples first and multiply it back in after the denoiser ran.

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 fixes denoising being delayed until after all rendering has finished. Instead, tile-based
denoising is now part of the "RENDER" task again, so that it is all in one task and does not
cause issues with dedicated task pools where tasks are serialized.

This makes the memory allocation for the denoiser state use the memory allocator in Cycles, which
will evict textures to host memory when there is not enough space on the device. This means the
allocation for the denoiser state won't just fail if there is no more space and instead more space is
made for it to work. Also simplifies code somewhat.

This modifies the common CUDA implementation for adaptive kernel compilation slightly to support both CUBIN and PTX output (the latter which is then used in the OptiX device). It also fixes adaptive kernel compilation on Windows.
