Before this Cycles used to try using the cache even so it knew for the
fact that reading it from the disk failed. This change doesn't make it
more stable if someone will try to trick Cycles and give malformed data
but it solves general cases when Blender crashed during the cache write
and will preserve rendering from crashing when trying to use that partial
cache.

disk to be reused by the next render.
This is useful for rendering animations where only the camera or materials change.
Note that saving the BVH to disk only to be removed for the next frame is slower
if this is not the case and the meshes do actually change.
For a render, it will save bvh files to the cache user directory, and remove all
cache files from other renders. The files are named using a MD5 hash based on the
mesh, to verify if the meshes are still the same.

modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:
* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":

* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
