This was not working well in non-trivial scenes before the light tree, and now
it is even harder to make it work well with the light tree. It would average the
with equal weight for every light object regardless of intensity or distance, and
be quite noisy due to not working with multiple importance sampling.
We may restore this if were enough good use cases for the previous implementation,
but let's wait and see what the feedback is.
Some uses cases for this have been replaced by the shadow catcher passes, which
did not exist when this was added.

Leading to excessive memory usage compared to Blender 2.93. There's still
some avoidable memory usage remaining, due to the full float buffer in the
new image editor drawing and not loading the cached EXR from disk in tiles.
Main difficulty was handling multi-image baking and disk caches, which is
solved by associating a unique layer name with each image so it can be
matched when reading back the image from the disk.
Also some minor header changes to be able to use RE_MAXNAME in RE_bake.h.
When new display driver is given to the PathTrace ensure that there are
no GPU resources used from it by the work. This solves graphics interop
descriptors leak.

* Replace license text in headers with SPDX identifiers.
* Remove specific license info from outdated readme.txt, instead leave details
to the source files.
* Add list of SPDX license identifiers used, and corresponding license texts.
* Update copyright dates while we're at it.

The issue was caused by the recent changes in the way how the
render result is drawn: the display driver now could hold an
OpenGL resources. Those resources are not shared across contexts
so whenever OpenGL context is destroyed those resources are to
be destroyed as well (and not attempted to be re-used for a next
render).
Do such destruction and entire driver re-creation since it does
simplifies things from API usage point of view without causing
measurable slowdown.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Set the render resolution to 2x of Full HD
- Enable persistent data
- Render (F12)
- Render again
Observe OpenGL state being corrupted. Easy to see in debug mode
where IMM abstraction level reports issues about the buffer size
not being the proper size. This was caused by the display driver
trying to use VAO from the previous OpenGL context.

Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
