main window.
The problem is that the render window keeps keybord input focus even after it has been
lowered. Windows maintains the Z-order of windows, so the present solution is to raise
the window that has been just below the render window.

Handbook example what happens when you've got loads of patches

Volume scatter might happen before path termination, so
need to check transparent bounces and consider shadow an
opaque when max transparent bounces are reached.
TODO: CPU code seems to have different branching in conditions
which made me thinking it does different things with volume
attenuation, but from the render results it seems the same
exact things are happening there. Worth looking into making
simplifying code a bit here to improve readability.

It turns out that the new Beckmann sampling function doesn't work well with
Quasi Monte Carlo sampling, mainly near normal incidence where it can be worse
than the previous sampler. In the new sampler the random number pattern gets
split in two, warped and overlapped, which hurts the stratification, see the
visualization in the differential revision.
Now we use a precomputed table, which is much better behaved. GGX does not seem
to benefit from using a precomputed table.
Disadvantage is that this table adds 1MB of memory usage and 0.03s startup time
to every render (on my quad core CPU).

This appears to be a wrong interpretation of the OSL docs, and it's more
convenient to have it off.

It might still have a derivation on larger scales (10k or more), but we need some offset to avoid precision issues on unit coordinates.

This way util_simd.cpp would not require modifications
if/when SSE2 is suddenly supported on 32bit platforms.
This also allowed to unleash some issues with util_simd.h
related on the fact that there size_t and int are actually
the same types.

* Anisotropic BSDF now supports GGX and Beckmann distributions, Ward has been
removed because other distributions are superior.
* GGX is now the default distribution for all glossy and anisotropic nodes,
since it looks good, has low noise and is fast to evaluate.
* Ashikhmin-Shirley is now available in the Glossy BSDF.

Samples render slower than before, but hopefully this is made up for with
reduced noise in most cases. The main slowdown comes from samples that would
previously be wasted and turn out black, which are now continued.
GGX sampling is about the same speed as before, while for Beckmann it is slower
still. Perhaps optimizations are still possible there, but didn't find anything
easy.

This gives you "Multiple Importance", "Distance" and "Equiangular" choices.
What multiple importance sampling does is make things more robust to certain
types of noise at the cost of a bit more noise in cases where the individual
strategies are always better.
So if you've got a pretty dense volume that's lit from far away then distance
sampling is usually more efficient. If you've got a light inside or near the
volume then equiangular sampling is better. If you have a combination of both,
then the multiple importance sampling will be better.

* Volume multiple importace sampling support to combine equiangular and distance
sampling, for both homogeneous and heterogeneous volumes.
* Branched path "Sample All Direct Lights" and "Sample All Indirect Lights" now
apply to volumes as well as surfaces.
Implementation note:
For simplicity this is all done with decoupled ray marching, the only case we do
not use decoupled is for distance only sampling with one light sample. The
homogeneous case should still compile on the GPU because it only requires fixed
size storage, but the heterogeneous case will be trickier to get working.

* Added support for uchar4 attributes to Cycles' attribute system.
* This is used for Vertex Colors now, which saves some memory (4 unsigned characters, instead of 4 floats).
* GPU Texture Limit on sm_20 and sm_21 decreased from 95 to 94, because we need a new texture for the uchar4 attributes. This is no problem for sm_30 or newer.
