This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

Ideally can use assert() checks instead of suppressing the check entirely,
but for now just fix compilation error quickly.

Based on outdated refract patch D6619 by @cubic_sloth
`refract` and `faceforward` are standard functions in GLSL, OSL and Godot shader languages.
Adding these functions provides Blender shader artists access to these standard functions.

Before this change messages of ERROR and above were printed.
This change makes it so LOG(INFO), LOG(WARNING), LOG(ERROR)
and LOG(FATAL) will be printed to the console by default
(without --debug-libmv and --debug-cycles).
On a user level nothing is changed because neither INFO nor
WARNING severity are used in our codebase. For developers this
change allows to use LOG(INFO) to print relevant for debugging
information. Bering able to see WARNING messages is also nice,
since those are not related to debugging, but are about some
detected "bad" state.
After this change the LOG(INFO) is really treated as a printf.
Why not to use printf to begin with? Because it is often more
annoying to print non-scalar types. Why not to use cout? Just
a convenience, so that all type of logging is handled in the
same way. When one is familiar with Glog used in the area, it
is easy to use same utilities during development. Also, it is
easy to change LOG(INFO) to VLOG(2) when development is done
and one wants to keep the log print but make it only appear
when using special verbosity flags.
The initial reason why default severity was set to maximum
possible value is because of misuse of VLOG with verbosity
level 0, which is the same as LOG(INFO). This is also why
back in the days --debug-libmv was introduced.
Now there is some redundancy between --debug-libmv, --debug-cyles
and --verbose, but changes in their meaning will cause user
level side effects.

This required using a fork of Embree, newer LLVM version, unreleased ISPC
version and sse2neon directly from Git. Hopefully over time all the required

* USD and OpenVDB headers use deprecated TBB headers, suppress all deprecation
warnings there since we have no control over them.
* For our own TBB includes, use the individual headers rather than the tbb.h that
includes everything to avoid warnings, rather than suppressing all.
This is in anticipation of the TBB 2020 upgrade in D10359. Ref D10361.

* tbb::blocked_range moved to a different namespace and since the fix is
non-trivial, remove some unused code that used this.
* Task group priorities are no longer supported. It's unclear if they are
useful at all right now and even set correctly, for now all tasks are equal
priority with TBB 2021.

This optimizes device updates (during user edits or frame changes in
the viewport) by avoiding unnecessary computations. To achieve this,
we use a combination of the sockets' update flags as well as some new
flags passed to the various managers when tagging for an update to tell
exactly what the tagging is for (e.g. shader was modified, object was
removed, etc.).
Besides avoiding recomputations, we also avoid resending to the devices
unmodified data arrays, thus reducing bandwidth usage. For OptiX and
Embree, BVH packing was also multithreaded.
The performance improvements may vary depending on the used device (CPU
or GPU), and the content of the scene. Simple scenes (e.g. with no adaptive
subdivision or volumes) rendered using OptiX will benefit from this work
the most.
On average, for a variety of animated scenes, this gives a 3x speedup.

Volumes using tricubic sampling were producing different results with NanoVDB compared
to dense textures. This fixes that by using the same tricubic sampling algorithm in both
cases. It also fixes some remaining offset issues and some minor things that broke OpenCL
kernel compilation on NVIDIA.

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

NanoVDB is a platform-independent sparse volume data structure that makes it possible to
use OpenVDB volumes on the GPU. This patch uses it for volume rendering in Cycles,
replacing the previous usage of dense 3D textures.
Since it has a big impact on memory usage and performance and changes the OpenVDB
branch used for the rest of Blender as well, this is not enabled by default yet, which will
happen only after 2.82 was branched off. To enable it, build both dependencies and Blender
itself with the "WITH_NANOVDB" CMake option.

The current way of setting the compute device makes sense for local
use, but for headless rendering it it a massive pain to get Cycles
to use the correct device, usually involving entire Python scripts.
Therefore, this patch adds a simple command-line option to Blender
for specifying the type of device that should be used. If the option
is present, the settings in the user preferences and the scene are
ignored, and instead all devices matching the specified type are used.

Gathers information for time spent in the various managers or object (Film, Camera, etc.) being updated in Scene::device_update.
The stats include the total time spent in the device_update methods as well as time spent in subroutines (e.g. bvh build, displacement, etc.).
This does not qualify as a full blown profiler, but is useful to identify potential bottleneck areas.
The stats can be enabled and printed by passing `--cycles-print-stats` on the command line to Cycles, or `-- --cycles-print-stats` to Blender.

Since this buffer is used as an array of 12 32bits integers, and C++
`string` expect a NULL-terminated C-string, we need an extra char to
ensure last one is always NULL.
