Render Monster support: (part 1)

Removed all limitations from render code for maximum threads. The only
define for this now is in BLI_threads.h, and currently set to 8.
Note that each thread renders an entire tile, and also allocates the
buffers for the tiles, so; more threads might work better with smaller
tiles.

IMPORTANT: node system won't work yet with more than 2 threads! So, don't
try material nodes or compositing with over 2 threads. That I'll commit
later today.

What does work (should work :) is AO and soft shadow now.
