Damped Track by specification attempts to arrive at the desired
direction via the shortest rotation. However with opposite vectors
there are infinitely many valid 180 degree rotations. Currently
it gives up and does nothing.
I think that it would be more reasonable to resolve the ambiguity
arbitrarily, so that Damped Track won't have a weird dead zone.
To make it more predictable I use a local axis.
In addition, the singularity area vicinity has some floating
point precision problems that result in significant jitter.
This applies workarounds for two causes of instability.

This is a physically-based, easy-to-use shader for rendering hair and fur,
with controls for melanin, roughness and randomization.
Based on the paper "A Practical and Controllable Hair and Fur Model for
Production Path Tracing".
Implemented by Leonardo E. Segovia and Lukas Stockner, part of Google
Summer of Code 2018.
This patch adds a new matte node that implements the Cryptomatte specification.
It also incluces a custom eye dropper that works outside of a color picker.
Cryptomatte export for the Cycles render engine will be in a separate patch.

metadata loading code was assuming all videos in Blender were from
FFMPEG... added empty place-holders for other types too, we probably
could load some metadata from pictures or AVI files too!
Features to get the 2nd, 3rd, 4th closest point instead of the closest, and
various distance metrics. No viewport/Eevee support yet.

This works for Cycles, Eevee, texture nodes and compositing. It helps to
reduce the number of math nodes required in various node setups.

The flag was only used in readfile.c, and resulted in a delayed call to
BKE_ocean_add(); this call is now immediately made instead as it's not
very expensive.
