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.

This reverts commit 82a8da0ec38a70efde4a91957824c67d0e60b8ad. It was completely
wrong. Fixes T75388.

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.

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).

Some code was removed to avoid storing the combined pass when viewport
rendering other passes. But we can keep this by default, Blender overrides
the list of passes entirely.

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.

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.

Small memory reduction change by only storing the pixels of the combined
pass when it is being shown in the viewport. Previously the combined pass
was always calculated and present in the output buffer. The combined pass
will still be calculated.
It is a limitation in Blender that Cycles always had a combined pass.
This patch will remove the limitation from the code base of Cycles.
Blender still has the limitation, but will always request the combined
renderpass when doing final rendering.

Previously, bright edges (e.g. caused by rim lighting) would sometimes get
halos around them after denoising.
This change introduces a log(1+x) highlight compression step that is performed
before denoising and reversed afterwards. That way, the denoising algorithm
itself operates in the compressed space and therefore bright edges cause less
numerical issues.

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.

This allows for extra output passes that encode automatic object and material masks
for the entire scene. It is an implementation of the Cryptomatte standard as
introduced by Psyop. A good future extension would be to add a manifest to the
export and to do plenty of testing to ensure that it is fully compatible with other
renderers and compositing programs that use Cryptomatte.
Internally, it adds the ability for Cycles to have several passes of the same type
that are distinguished by their name.

Apparently quite a few users would like to have the noisy pass available when using the denoiser, and since it's being generated anyways we might as well expose it by default.

* Remove tex_* and pixels_* functions, replace by mem_*.
* Add MEM_TEXTURE and MEM_PIXELS as memory types recognized by devices.
* No longer create device_memory and call mem_* directly, always go
through device_only_memory, device_vector and device_pixels.

This was originally done with the first sample in the kernel for better
performance, but it doesn't work anymore with atomics. Any benefit was
very minor anyway, too small to measure it seems.

A little faster on some benchmark scenes, a little slower on others, seems
about performance neutral on average and saves a little memory.

This commit contains the first part of the new Cycles denoising option,
which filters the resulting image using information gathered during rendering
to get rid of noise while preserving visual features as well as possible.
To use the option, enable it in the render layer options. The default settings
fit a wide range of scenes, but the user can tweak individual settings to
control the tradeoff between a noise-free image, image details, and calculation
time.
Note that the denoiser may still change in the future and that some features
are not implemented yet. The most important missing feature is animation
denoising, which uses information from multiple frames at once to produce a
flicker-free and smoother result. These features will be added in the future.
Finally, thanks to all the people who supported this project:
- Google (through the GSoC) and Theory Studios for sponsoring the development
- The authors of the papers I used for implementing the denoiser (more details
on them will be included in the technical docs)
- The other Cycles devs for feedback on the code, especially Sergey for
mentoring the GSoC project and Brecht for the code review!
- And of course the users who helped with testing, reported bugs and things
that could and/or should work better!

This upgrade the drawing code to use latest opengl calls.
Also, it adds a fallback shader for opencolorio.
