This patch tunes the integrator state sizing for Metal (`num_concurrent_states` and `num_concurrent_busy_states`).
On all GPUs architecture, we adjust the busy:total states ratio to be 1:4 which gives better rendering performance than the previous 1:16 ratio (independent of total state count). This gives a small performance uplift (e.g. 2-3% on M1 Ultra).
Additionally for M2 architectures, we double the overall state size if there is available headroom. Inclusive of the first change, we can expect uplift of close to 10% in future, as this results in larger dispatch sizes and minimises work submission overheads. In order to make an accurate determination of available headroom, we defer the calculation of `num_concurrent_states` and `num_concurrent_busy_states` until the time of integrator state allocation (i.e. after all of the scene data has been allocated). We also refactor `alloc_integrator_soa` to calculate an *exact* single-state-size in a first pass, right before allocating the integrator SoA buffers in a second pass.

The issue here was that PathTraceWork was set up before checking if
any error occurred, and it didn't account for the dummy device so
it called a non-implemented function.
This fix therefore avoids creating PathTraceWork for dummy devices
and checks for device creation errors earlier in the process.

This adds path guiding features into Cycles by integrating Intel's Open Path
Guiding Library. It can be enabled in the Sampling > Path Guiding panel in the
render properties.
This feature helps reduce noise in scenes where finding a path to light is
difficult for regular path tracing.
The current implementation supports guiding directional sampling decisions on
surfaces, when the material contains a least one diffuse component, and in
volumes with isotropic and anisotropic Henyey-Greenstein phase functions.
On surfaces, the guided sampling decision is proportional to the product of
the incident radiance and the normal-oriented cosine lobe and in volumes it
is proportional to the product of the incident radiance and the phase function.
The incident radiance field of a scene is learned and updated during rendering
after each per-frame rendering iteration/progression.
At the moment, path guiding is only supported by the CPU backend. Support for
GPU backends will be added in future versions of OpenPGL.

This patch causes the render buffers to be copied to the denoiser
device only once before denoising and output/display is then fed
from that single buffer on the denoiser device. That way usually all
but one copy (from all the render devices to the denoiser device)
can be eliminated, provided that the denoiser device is also the
display device (in which case interop is used to update the display).
As such this patch also adds some logic that tries to ensure the
chosen denoiser device is the same as the display device.

This was added for Metal, but also gives good results with CUDA and OptiX.
Also enable it for future Apple GPUs instead of only M1 and M2, since this has
been shown to help across multiple GPUs so the better bet seems to enable
rather than disable it.
Also moves some of the logic outside of the Metal device code, and always
enables the code in the kernel since other devices don't do dynamic compile.

This patch partitions the active indices into chunks prior to sorting by material in order to tradeoff some material coherence for better locality. On Apple Silicon GPUs (particularly higher end M1-family GPUs), we observe overall render time speedups of up to 15%. The partitioning is implemented by repeating the range of `shader_sort_key` for each partition, and encoding a "locator" key which distributes the indices into sorted chunks.

This patch adds a new Cycles device with similar functionality to the
existing GPU devices. Kernel compilation and runtime interaction happen
via oneAPI DPC++ compiler and SYCL API.
This implementation is primarly focusing on Intel® Arc™ GPUs and other
future Intel GPUs. The first supported drivers are 101.1660 on Windows
and 22.10.22597 on Linux.
The necessary tools for compilation are:
- A SYCL compiler such as oneAPI DPC++ compiler or
https://github.com/intel/llvm
- Intel® oneAPI Level Zero which is used for low level device queries:
https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero
- To optionally generate prebuilt graphics binaries: Intel® Graphics
Compiler All are included in Linux precompiled libraries on svn:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib The same goes for
Windows precompiled binaries but for the graphics compiler, available
as "Intel® Graphics Offline Compiler for OpenCL™ Code" from
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html,
for which path can be set as OCLOC_INSTALL_DIR.
Being based on the open SYCL standard, this implementation could also be
extended to run on other compatible non-Intel hardware in the future.

* Rename "texture" to "data array". This has not used textures for a long time,
there are just global memory arrays now. (On old CUDA GPUs there was a cache
for textures but not global memory, so we used to put all data in textures.)
* For CUDA and HIP, put globals in KernelParams struct like other devices.
* Drop __ prefix for data array names, no possibility for naming conflict now that
these are in a struct.

Move MNEE to own kernel, separate from shader ray-tracing. This does introduce
the limitation that a shader can't use both MNEE and AO/bevel, but that seems
like the better trade-off for now.

Propagate the fp settings from the main thread to all the worker threads (the fp settings includes the FZ settings among other things) - this guarantees consistency in execution of floating point math regardless if its executed in tbb thread arena or on main thread
Add FZ mode to arm64/aarch64 in parallel to the way its been done on intel processors, currently compiling for arm target does not set this mode at all, hence potentially runs slower and with possible results mismatch with intel x86.

Light groups are a type of pass that only contains lighting from a subset of light sources.
They are created in the View layer, and light sources (lamps, objects with emissive materials
and/or the environment) can be assigned to a group.
Currently, each light group ends up generating its own version of the Combined pass.
In the future, additional types of passes (e.g. shadowcatcher) might be getting their own
per-lightgroup versions.
The lightgroup creation and assignment is not Cycles-specific, so Eevee or external render
engines could make use of it in the future.
Note that Lightgroups are identified by their name - therefore, the name of the Lightgroup
in the View Layer and the name that's set in an object's settings must match for it to be
included.
Currently, changing a Lightgroup's name does not update objects - this is planned for the
future, along with other features such as denoising for light groups and viewing them in
preview renders.

This patch adds a Hydra render delegate to Cycles, allowing Cycles to be used for rendering
in applications that provide a Hydra viewport. The implementation was written from scratch
against Cycles X, for integration into the Blender repository to make it possible to continue
developing it in step with the rest of Cycles. For this purpose it follows the style of the rest of
the Cycles code and can be built with a CMake option
(`WITH_CYCLES_HYDRA_RENDER_DELEGATE=1`) similar to the existing standalone version
of Cycles.
Since Hydra render delegates need to be built against the exact USD version and other
dependencies as the target application is using, this is intended to be built separate from
Blender (`WITH_BLENDER=0` CMake option) and with support for library versions different
from what Blender is using. As such the CMake build scripts for Windows had to be modified
slightly, so that the Cycles Hydra render delegate can e.g. be built with MSVC 2017 again
even though Blender requires MSVC 2019 now, and it's possible to specify custom paths to
the USD SDK etc. The codebase supports building against the latest USD release 22.03 and all
the way back to USD 20.08 (with some limitations).

Sometime throughout development some checks got lost during refactor.
This change makes it so that if OIDN is not supported on the current
CPU Cycles will report an error and stop rendering. This behavior is
similar to when an OptiX denoiser is requested and there is no OptiX
compatible device available.
The easiest way to verify this change is to force return false from
the `openimagedenoise_supported()`.

The root of the issue is caused by Cycles ignoring OpenGL limitation on
the maximum resolution of textures: Cycles was allocating texture of the
final render resolution. It was exceeding limitation on certain GPUs and
driver.
The idea is simple: use multiple textures for the display, each of which
will fit into OpenGL limitations.
There is some code which allows the display driver to know when to start
the new tile. Also added some code to allow force graphics interop to be
re-created. The latter one ended up not used in the final version of the
patch, but it might be helpful for other drivers implementation.
The tile size is limited to 8K now as it is the safest size for textures
on many GPUs and OpenGL drivers.
This is an updated fix with a workaround for freezing with the NVIDIA
driver on Linux.
