Remove need for shadow caustic caster geometry to have a UV layout. UVs were
useful to maintain a consistent tangent frame across the surface while
performing the walk. A consistent tangent frame is necessary for rough
surfaces where a normal offset encodes the sampled h, which should point
towards the same direction across the mesh.
In order to get a continuous surface parametrization without UVs, the
technique described in this paper was implemented:
"The Natural-Constraint Representation of the Path Space for Efficient
Light Transport Simulation" (Supplementary Material), SIGGRAPH 2014.
In addition to implementing this feature:
* Shadow caustic casters without smooth normals are now ignored (triggered
some refactoring and cleaning).
* Hit point calculation was refactored using existing utils functions,
simplifying the code.
* The max number of solver iterations was reduced to 32, a solution is
usually found by then.
* Added generalized geometry term clamping (transfer matrix calculation can
sometimes get unstable).
* Add stop condition to Newton solver for more consistent CPU and GPU result.
* Add support for multi scatter GGX refraction.

This adds support for rendering motion blur for volumes, using their
velocity field. This works for fluid simulations and imported VDB
volumes. For the latter, the name of the velocity field can be set per
volume object, with automatic detection of velocity fields that are
split into 3 scalar grids.
A new parameter is also added to scale velocity for more artistic control.
Like for Alembic and USD caches, a parameter to set the unit of time in
which the velocity vectors are expressed is also added. For Blender gas
simulations, the velocity unit should always be in seconds, so this is
only exposed for volume objects which may come from external OpenVDB
files.
These parameters are available under the `Render` panels for the fluid
domain and the volume object data properties respectively.

Blender uses meters. This patch also fixes the hardcoded focal

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.

Use the Extend method for these, as these do not work correctly. For UVs
it's better to extend the UVs from the same face, and for tangent space
the normals should be encoded in a matching tangent space.
Later the Adjacent Faces method might be improved to support these cases.

Currently, only Lightgroups that exist in the current view layer can be
selected from object or world properties.
The internal UI code already has support for search fields that accept
unknown input, so I just added that to the API and use it for lightgroups.
When a lightgroup is entered that does not exist in the current view layer
(e.g. because it's completely new, because the view layer was switched or
because it was deleted earlier), a new button next to it becomes active and
adds it to the view layer when pressed.

Change uses of "Hair" in Render Settings UI in the property editor
and the "Hair Info" node to use the "Curves" name to reflect the
design described in T95355, where hair is just a use case of a more
general curves data type.
While these settings still affect the particle hair system,
the idea is that if we have to choose one naming scheme to align
with, we should choose the option that aligns with future plans
and current development efforts, especially since the particle
system is considered a legacy feature.
A few notes:
- "Principled Hair BSDF" is not affected since it's meant for hair.
- Python API property identifiers are not affected.

This revision allows to specify CUDA host compiler (nvcc's -ccbin command
line option) when configuring the build. It addresses the case where the
C/C++ compiler to be used in CUDA toolchain should be different from the
default C/C++ compiler, for instance in case of compilers versions conflicts
or multiple installed compilers.
The new CMake option is named `CUDA_HOST_COMPILER` and can be used as follows:
`cmake -DCUDA_HOST_COMPILER=<path-to-host-compiler>`
If the option is not specified, the build configuration behaves as previously.

This commit furthers some of the changes that were started in
rBb9febb54a492 and subsequent commits by changing the way surface
objects are presented to render engines and other users of evaluated
objects in the same way. Instead of presenting evaluated surface objects
as an `OB_SURF` object with an evaluated mesh, `OB_SURF` objects
can now have an evaluated geometry set, which uses the same system
as other object types to deal with multi-type evaluated data.
This clarification makes it more obvious that lots of code that dealt
with the `DispList` type isn't used. It wasn't before either, now it's
just *by design*. Over 1100 lines can be removed. The legacy curve
draw cache code is much simpler now too. The idea behind the further
removal of `DispList` is that it's better to focus optimization efforts
on a single mesh data structure.
One expected functional change is that the evaluated mesh from surface
objects can now be used in geometry nodes with the object info node.
Cycles and the OBJ IO tests had to be tweaked to avoid using evaluated
surface objects instead of the newly exposed mesh objects.

Adds support for linking with some of the dependencies of a USD
build instead of the precompiled libraries from Blender, specifically
OpenSubdiv, OpenVDB and TBB. Other dependencies keep using the
precompiled libraries from Blender, since they are linked statically
anyway so it does't matter as much. Plus they have interdependencies
that are difficult to resolve when only using selected libraries from
the USD build and can't simply assume that USD was built with all
of them.
This patch also makes building the Hydra render delegate via the
standalone repository work and fixes various small issues I ran into
in general on Windows (e.g. the use of both fixed paths and
`find_package` did not seem to work correctly). Building both the
standalone Cycles application and the Hydra render delegate at the
same time is supported now as well (the paths in the USD plugin JSON
file are updated accordingly).
All that needs to be done now to build is to specify a `PXR_ROOT`
or `USD_ROOT` CMake variable pointing to the USD installation,
everything else is taken care of automatically (CMake targets are
loaded from the `pxrTargets.cmake` of USD and linked into the
render delegate and OpenSubdiv, OpenVDB and TBB are replaced
with those from USD when they exist).

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 adds support for selective rendering of caustics in shadows of refractive
objects. Example uses are rendering of underwater caustics and eye caustics.
This is based on "Manifold Next Event Estimation", a method developed for
production rendering. The idea is to selectively enable shadow caustics on a
few objects in the scene where they have a big visual impact, without impacting
render performance for the rest of the scene.
The Shadow Caustic option must be manually enabled on light, caustic receiver
and caster objects. For such light paths, the Filter Glossy option will be
ignored and replaced by sharp caustics.
Currently this method has a various limitations:
* Only caustics in shadows of refractive objects work, which means no caustics
from reflection or caustics that outside shadows. Only up to 4 refractive
caustic bounces are supported.
* Caustic caster objects should have smooth normals.
* Not currently support for Metal GPU rendering.
In the future this method may be extended for more general caustics.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
This code adds manifold next event estimation through refractive surface(s) as a
new sampling technique for direct lighting, i.e. finding the point on the
refractive surface(s) along the path to a light sample, which satisfies Fermat's
principle for a given microfacet normal and the path's end points. This
technique involves walking on the "specular manifold" using a pseudo newton
solver. Such a manifold is defined by the specular constraint matrix from the
manifold exploration framework [2]. For each refractive interface, this
constraint is defined by enforcing that the generalized half-vector projection
onto the interface local tangent plane is null. The newton solver guides the
walk by linearizing the manifold locally before reprojecting the linear solution
onto the refractive surface. See paper [1] for more details about the technique
itself and [3] for the half-vector light transport formulation, from which it is
derived.

The code for this samping technique was inserted at the light sampling stage
(direct lighting). If the walk is successful, it turns off path regularization
using a specialized flag in the path state (PATH_MNEE_SUCCESS). This flag tells
the integrator not to blur the brdf roughness further down the path (in a child
ray created from BSDF sampling). In addition, using a cascading mechanism of
flag values, we cull connections to caustic lights for this and children rays,
which should be resolved through MNEE.
This mechanism also cancels the MIS bsdf counter part at the casutic receiver
depth, in essence leaving MNEE as the only sampling technique from receivers
through refractive casters to caustic lights. This choice might not be optimal
when the light gets large wrt to the receiver, though this is usually not when
you want to use MNEE.
This connection culling strategy removes a fair amount of fireflies, at the cost
of introducing a slight bias. Because of the selective nature of the culling
mechanism, reflective caustics still benefit from the native path
regularization, which further removes fireflies on other surfaces (bouncing
light off casters).

The Alembic procedural was only enabled during viewport renders
originally because it did not have any caching strategy. Now that
is does, we can allow its usage in final renders.
This also removes the `dag_eval_mode` argument passing to
