0803119725 Cycles: merge of cycles-x branch, a major update to the renderer
This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.

Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

Credits:
* Sergey Sharybin
* Brecht Van Lommel
* Patrick Mours (OptiX backend)
* Christophe Hery (subsurface scattering anisotropy)
* William Leeson (PMJ sampling pattern)
* Alaska (various fixes and tweaks)
* Thomas Dinges (various fixes)

For the full commit history, see the cycles-x branch. This squashes together
all the changes since intermediate changes would often fail building or tests.

7fa6f72084 Cycles: Add sample-based runtime profiler that measures time spent in various parts of the CPU kernel
This commit adds a sample-based profiler that runs during CPU rendering and collects statistics on time spent in different parts of the kernel (ray intersection, shader evaluation etc.) as well as time spent per material and object.

The results are currently not exposed in the user interface or per Python yet, to see the stats on the console pass the "--cycles-print-stats" argument to Cycles (e.g. "./blender -- --cycles-print-stats").

Unfortunately, there is no clear way to extend this functionality to CUDA or OpenCL, so it is CPU-only for now.
