When verbose level 4 is enabled, Blender prints kernel performance
data for Cycles on GPU backends (except Metal that doesn't use
debug_enqueue_* methods) for groups of kernels.
These changes introduce a new CYCLES_DEBUG_PER_KERNEL_PERFORMANCE
environment variable to allow getting timings for each kernels
separately and not grouped with others. This is done by adding
explicit synchronization after each kernel execution.

Debug and Release libs are different libs on
Windows and will give linker errors when you
try to mix and match them.
This changes retrieves both libs and fills the
OPENPGL_LIBRARIES variable appropriately resolving
the linker error.

This patch optimises the Metal inlining policy. It gives a small speedup (2-3% on M1 Max) with no notable compilation slowdown vs what is already in master. Previously noted compilation slowdowns (as reported in T100102) were caused by forcing inlining for `ccl_device`, but we get better rendering perf by relying on compiler heuristics in these cases.

An bug with binary archives was fixed in macOS 13.0 which stops some spurious kernel recompilations. In older macOS versions, falling back on the system shader cache will prevent recompilations in most instances (this is the same behaviour as in Blender 3.1.x and 3.2.x).

This adds path guiding features into Cycles by integrating Intel's Open Path
Guiding Library. It can be enabled in the Sampling > Path Guiding panel in the
render properties.
This feature helps reduce noise in scenes where finding a path to light is
difficult for regular path tracing.
The current implementation supports guiding directional sampling decisions on
surfaces, when the material contains a least one diffuse component, and in
volumes with isotropic and anisotropic Henyey-Greenstein phase functions.
On surfaces, the guided sampling decision is proportional to the product of
the incident radiance and the normal-oriented cosine lobe and in volumes it
is proportional to the product of the incident radiance and the phase function.
The incident radiance field of a scene is learned and updated during rendering
after each per-frame rendering iteration/progression.
At the moment, path guiding is only supported by the CPU backend. Support for
GPU backends will be added in future versions of OpenPGL.

Simplifies code overall to do it inside the eval function, most of the BSDFs
already compute the dot product.
The refactoring in bsdf_principled_hair_eval() was needed to avoid a HIP
compiler bug. Cause is unclear, just changing the implementation enough
is meant to sidestep it.

Windows drivers 101.3430 fix an important GUI-related crash and it's
best to prevent users from running into it.
Linux drivers weren't affected but still had relevant gpu binary
compatibility fixes, so it makes sense to keep the min-supported version
aligned across OSes.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

This is already the case for most CMake usage.
Although some find modules are an exception to this, as they were
originally maintained externally they use some different conventions.

Now explicitly including math.h first before #defining funcitons.
This avoids undefined behavior and improves compatibility with

Cleans up the file structure to be more similar to that of the SVM

This has the advantage of being able to use information about the
existing OSL closures in various places without code duplication. In
addition, the setup code for all closures was moved to standalone
functions to avoid usage of virtual function calls in preparation for GPU
support.

attribute map
The SVM attribute map is always generated and uses a simple
linear search to lookup by an opaque ID, so can reuse that for OSL
as well and simply use the attribute name hash as ID instead of
generating a unique value separately. This works for both object
and geometry attributes since the SVM attribute map already
stores both. Simplifies code somewhat and reduces memory
usage slightly.

This commit is a big overhaul to the Mikktspace module, which is used
to compute tangents. I'm not calling it a rewrite since it's the
result of a lot of iterations on the original code, but pretty much
everything is reworked somehow.
Overall goal was to a) make it faster and b) make it maintainable.
Notable changes:
- Since the callbacks for requesting geometry data were a big
bottleneck before, I've ported it to C++ and made it header-only,
templating on the data source. That way, the compiler generates code
specific to the caller, which allows it to inline the data source and
specialize for some cases (e.g. subd vs. non-subd in Cycles).
- The one input parameter, an optional angle threshold, was not used
anywhere. Turns out that removing it allows for considerable
algorithmic simplification, removing a lot of the complexity in the
later stages. Therefore, I've just removed the option in the new code.
- The code computes several outputs, but only one (the tangent itself)
is ever used in Blender. Therefore, I've removed the others to
simplify the code. They could easily be brought back if needed, none
of the algorithmic simplifications are conflicting with them.
- The original code had fallback paths for many steps in case temporary
memory allocation fails, but that never actually gets used anyways
since malloc() doesn't really ever return NULL in practise, so I
removed them.
- In general, I've restructured A LOT of the code to make the
algorithms clearer and make use of some C++ features (vectors,
std::array, booleans, classes), though there's still some of cleanup
that could be done.
- Parallelized duplicate detection, neighbor detection, triangle
tangent computation, degenerate triangle handling and tangent space
accumulation.
- Replaced several algorithms with faster equivalents: Duplicate
detection uses a (concurrent) hash set now, neighbor detection uses
Radixsort and splits vertices by index pairs etc.
As for results, the exact speedup depends on the scene of course, but
let's consider the file from T97378:
- Blender 3.1 (before D14675): 6.07sec
- Blender 3.2 (with D14675): 4.62sec
- rBf0a36599007d (last nightly build): 4.42sec
- With this commit: 0.90sec
This speedup will mostly be noticed at the start of Cycles renders and,
even more importantly, in Eevee when doing something that changes the
geometry (e.g. animating) on a model using normal maps.

The recent revert of Apple silicon inlining changes to avoid long compile times
worked on macOS 12, but in macOS 13 Beta it results in render errors. This may
be a compiler bug and perhaps get fixed in time, but try to be on the safe side
and ensure Blender 3.3.0 works regardless.
This brings part of the inlining back, which brings improved performance but
also longer compiler times again. Compile time is around 2min now, where the
previous full inlining was about 5-7min.

For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7ee, 410a6efb747f). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

This uses the same sample classification approach as used for PMJ,
because it turns out to also work equally well with Sobol-Burley.
This also implements a fallback (random classification) that should
work "okay" for other samplers, though there are no other samplers
at the moment.
