This gives speed up for the split kernel in scenes using the principled BSDF
but without subsurface scattering.

Could have lead to black pixels.

This is something which was reported to work fine by Mai, Benjamin and
confirmed by myself. Disabling this workaround gains us some speedup:

Unfortunately this means disabling the code that ensures the title
bar is properly scaled with DPI, however better to have that as a
cosmetic issue than Blender being unusable with a lot of Intel GPUs.

This file uses std::ostream for helper << operators, so need to make sure
corresponding header is included.

Some of the functions might have been inlined, but others i don't see
how that was possible (don't think virtual functions can be inlined here).
In any case, better be explicitly optimal in the code.

panoramic camera settings
The problem here was that when a "invalid" path is generated by the panoramic camera, it was tagged
as RAY_TO_REGENERATE with the intention of generating a new path in kernel_buffer_update.
However, since that state was not handled in kernel_queue_enqueue, kernel_buffer_update did not
process the path which resulted in an infinite loop.

As the title says, the normal wasn't set for the Hair BSDF because it wasn't
needed before. However, the denoiser uses it to store the feature passes, so
it needs to be set now.

If there was any specularity in the Principled BSDF, it would get a sampling
weight of one regardless of its actual impact.
This commit makes Cycles estimate the contribution of the component and adjust
the weighting accordingly, which greatly improves the noise characteristics of
the Principled BSDF in many cases.
Note that this commit might slightly change the brightness of areas when using
MultiGGX and high roughnesses, but the new brightness is more accurate and
closer to the result of Branched Path Tracing. See T51836 for details.

The PDF of the MultiGGX sampling is approximated by the singlescattering GGX
term as well as a scaled diffuse term that makes up for the energy in the
multiscattering component that's missed by GGX.
However, there were two problems with the glossy terms: The diffuse term missed
a normalization factor, and the singlescattering term was not properly scaled
down based on the albedo estimate.
The glass term was completely wrong and has been rewritten. It uses the fresnel
factor to weight reflection vs. refraction and uses the glossy MultiGGX model
for reflection.
For refraction, the correct singlescattering term is now used, and a new
albedo approximation is used that was derived by evaluating GGX albedo for
roughnesses from 0 to 1 and IORs from 1 to 3 and fitting numerical
approximations to it. The resulting model has a mean relative error of 9e-5,
but could probably be simplified without losing noticable accuracy in the
final render.
The improved PDFs help with glossy highlights (due to better light sampling vs.
closure sampling MIS) and fix the situation described in T51836 where mixing
MultiGGX with other closures (as it happens in e.g. the Principled
BSDF) causes incorrect darkening.

This is compatible with UE4 and more consistent with specular and transmission
roughness, even if it deviates from the original Disney BRDF.

Also remove duplicate & mismatching comments from grease-pencil header.
Keep comments close to implementation to avoid getting out of sync.

The crash did not happen yet because we always had proper vmemh defined in
the parent scope.

This is not enough to mutex-guard modification code of integer values,
since this operation is NOT atomic. This is not even safe for a single
byte data types.
For now guarded the getter functions, similar to other functions in
this module.
Ideally we want to switch modification to an atomic operations, so we
wouldn't need any locks in the getters.

Was some mismatch in address space. Seems to be caused by recent additions.
Additionally, moved decoupled ray marching functions under ifdef, so they
don't try to use malloc() functions.
Thanks Mai for testing the patch!

Now, when there is no usable neighboring pixel for denoising, the noisy value
is preserved instead of producing a NaN.
Also, negative results are clamped to zero.
Note that there are just workarounds that don't fix the underlying problems,
but these issues are very rare and I'm not sure if it's even possible to fix
the underlying problems without introducing a significant slowdown or quality
decrease in other situations.
Because of that and since 2.79 is happening very soon, I just went for these
workarounds for now.

Technically not passing all buffers used by a kernel is undefined
behavior. We haven't had any issues with this so far on AMD or
Nvidia, but it's known to be a problem with Intel and we received
a report from AMD that this is a problem on newer hardware, so we
need to make this change at some point.
Unfortunately there a cost to being correct, about 5% for the
benchmark scenes. For low sample counts it's even worse, I've
seen up to 50% slowdown. For the latter case I think adjusting
tile updating logic can help, but not sure what that would look
like yet (it would be just a few lines change however).

threads
Unlike regular path tracing, branched path tracing is usually used with lower
sample counts, at least for primary rays. This means that are less samples for
the GPU to work on in parallel and rendering is slower. As there is less work
overall there is also more inactive threads during rendering with BPT. This
patch makes use of those inactive rays to render branched samples in parallel
with other samples.
Each thread that is preparing for a branched sample will attempt to find an
inactive thread and if one is found the state for the sample is copied to that
thread. Potentially, if there are enough inactive threads, 100s of branched
samples could be generated from the same originating thread and ran in
parallel giving large speed ups.
Gives 70% faster render for pavillion midday scene. 20-60% faster on BMW
with car paint replaced with SSS/volumes.

Samples ran in parallel need a safe way to accumulate their results
with the results of other threads.
