In the current OpenCL implementation we have a work-around for platforms
that didn't support NULL pointers. We used to replace all NULLs and
empty arrays with a pointer to a single byte on the OpenCL Device.
During investigation of {T65924} it was asked to remove this work-around
for testing. This change improves the render times.

Note that this change does not fix T65924 it just improves the
rendering performance for OpenCL. We haven't tested this patch on all
platforms so we should keep an eye out on the tracker.

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.

This adds compaction support for OptiX acceleration structures, which reduces the device memory footprint in a post step after building. Depending on the scene this can reduce the amount of used device memory quite a bit and even improve performance (smaller acceleration structure improves cache usage). It's only enabled for background renders to make acceleration structure builds fast in viewport.
Also fixes a bug in the memory management for OptiX acceleration structures: These were held in a dynamic vector of 'device_memory' instances and used the mem_alloc/mem_free functions. However, those keep track of memory instances in the 'cuda_mem_map' via pointers to 'device_memory' (which works fine everywhere else since those are never copied/moved). But in the case of the vector, it may decide to reallocate at some point, which invalidates those pointers and would result in some nasty accesses to invalid memory. So it is not actually safe to move a 'device_memory' object and therefore this removes the move operator overloads again.

Previously Noise and Wave texture nodes would use noise functions within a [0,1]
range for distortion effects. We either add or subtract noise from coordinates,
never do both at same time. This led to the texture drastically shifting on the
diagonal axis of a plane / cube. This behavior makes the Distortion input hard
to control or animate. Capabilities of driving it with other texture are also
limited, diagonal shifting is very apparent.
This was fixed by offsetting the noise function to a signed range and making it
zero-centered. This way noise is uniformly added and subtracted from coordinates.
Texture pattern sticks to main coordinates which makes it way easier to control.
This change is not strictly backwards compatible, there is versioning to ensure
the scale of the distortion remains similar, but the particular pattern can be
a little different.

Modes: Linear interpolation (default), stepped linear, smoothstep and smootherstep.
This also includes an additional option for the **Clamp node** to switch between **Min Max** (default) and **Range** mode.
This was needed to allow clamping when **To Max** is less than **To Min**.

When creating shaders and using maths functions it is expected that Blender should match functions in other DCC applications, game engines and shading languages such as GLSL and OSL.
This patch adds missing functions to the Blender maths node.
Ideally, it would be nice to have these functions available to vectors too but that is not part of this patch.
This patch adds the following functions trunc, snap, wrap, compare, pingpong, sign, radians, degrees, cosh, sinh, tanh, exp, smoothmin and inversesqrt.
Sign function is based on GLSL and OSL functions and returns zero when x == 0.

When encountering an error during context creation, the "OptiXDevice" constructor aborts early.
This means the "cuda_stream" vector is never resized and the destructor iterated over non-existent data.

The acceleration structure built by OptiX may be different between GPUs, so cannot assume the memory size is the same for all.
This fixes that by moving the memory management for all OptiX acceleration structures into the responsibility of each device (was already the case for BLAS previously, now for TLAS too).

average fresnel
The Principled BSDF uses Microfacet closures that include a fresnel term,
which are a special case since their weight tends to be near white even
if their average contribution is fairly low.
The sample weight is scaled by the average fresnel weight to account for
this, but the denoising albedo still used the unscaled weight.
This was fine for the original denoiser, but apparently OIDN can't handle
the resulting albedo pass well. Therefore, this commit adds the described
scaling to the albedo pass contribution as well.
This problem was described in T69770.

Extend options are currently stored per curve. This was not clearly
communicated to the user and they expected this to be a setting per
CurveMapping.
This change will move the option from `Curve` to `CurveMapping`. In
order to support this the API had to be changed.
BPY: CurveMap.evaluate is also moved to CurveMapping.evaluate what
breaks Python API. Cycles has been updated but other add-ons have
not. After release of 2.81 we can merge this to master and adapt
the add-ons.

The Random Per Island attribute is a random float associated with each
connected component (island) of the mesh. It is particularly useful
when artists want to add variations to meshes composed of separate
units. Like tree leaves created using particle systems, wood planks
created using array modifiers, or abstract splines created using AN.

Calling "OptiXDevice::load_kernels" multiple times would call "optixPipelineDestroy" on a pipeline
pointer that may have already been deleted previously (since the PIP_SHADER_EVAL pipeline is only
created conditionally).
This change also avoids a CUDA kernel reload every time this is called. The CUDA kernels are
precompiled and don't change, so there is no need to reload them every time.

The OptiX intersection program for curves uses "optixGetObjectRayDirection"
to get the ray direction in object space (which was inverse transformed
with the current transformation matrix). OptiX does no additional operations
on it, so if there is a scaling transform, the direction is not normalized.
But the curve intersection routine expects that. In addition, the distances
used in "optixGetRayTmax()" and "optixReportIntersection()" are in world
space, so need to adjust them accordingly.

When using OpenCL with Cycles the rendering time increased substantial.
After doing some tests the bottleneck was found in 4d voronoi and 2d and
3d smooth voronoi.
This change will hide these behind a specific compile directive so the
speed will improve.

Cycles did not update the "is_enabled" flag on lights when they were synchronized again, which caused all lights disabled by "LightManager::disable_ineffective_light" to be disabled indefinitely. As a result the OptiX kernels were not reloaded with correct features when a change to a light was made. This fixes that by updating the "is_enabled" flag during synchronization.

The cryptomatte sockets were incorrectly numbered using a step size of two. While the increment by two is necessary to get the correct number of render passes, they should be numbered consecutively matching the socket names of the cryptomatte node.
