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

This modifies the attribute lookup to use object coordinates if no
generated coordinates are found on the geometry.
This is useful to avoid creating and copying this attribute, thus saving
a bit of time and memory.

This is an implementation that is about 1.5-2.1 times faster. It gives a result
that is on average 6° different from the old implementation. The difference is
because normals (Ng, N, N') are not selected to be coplanar, but instead
reflection R is lifted the least amount and the N' is computed as a bisector.

The problem here was numerical precision: The code calculates the angle between
sun and view direction, and the usual acos(dot(a, b)) approach for that has
poor numerical performance for almost parallel angles.
As a result, the generally tiny difference between floating point computation
between CPU and GPU was enough to make the sun vanish at different radii,
causing different results.
The new version fixes the difference by making the computation much more robust
on both platforms.
This commit adds a new model to the Sky Texture node, which is based on a
method by Nishita et al. and works by basically simulating volumetric
scattering in the atmosphere.
By making some approximations (such as only considering single scattering),
we get a fairly simple and fast simulation code that takes into account
Rayleigh and Mie scattering as well as Ozone absorption.
This code is used to precompute a 512x128 texture which is then looked up
during render time, and is fast enough to allow real-time tweaking in the
viewport.
Due to the nature of the simulation, it exposes several parameters that
allow for lots of flexibility in choosing the look and matching real-world
conditions (such as Air/Dust/Ozone density and altitude).
Additionally, the same volumetric approach can be used to compute absorption
of the direct sunlight, so the model also supports adding direct sunlight.
This makes it significantly easier to set up Sun+Sky illumination where
the direction, intensity and color of the sun actually matches the sky.
In order to support properly sampling the direct sun component, the commit
also adds logic for sampling a specific area to the kernel light sampling
code. This is combined with portal and background map sampling using MIS.
This sampling logic works for the common case of having one Sky texture
going into the Background shader, but if a custom input to the Vector
node is used or if there are multiple Sky textures, it falls back to using
only background map sampling (while automatically setting the resolution to
4096x2048 if auto resolution is used).

Currently in fractal_noise functions, each subsequent octave doubles the
frequency and reduces the amplitude by half. This patch introduces Roughness
input to Noise and Wave nodes. This multiplier determines how quickly the
amplitudes of the subsequent octaves decrease.
Value of 0.5 will be the default, generating identical noise we had before.
Values above 0.5 will increase influence of each octave resulting in more
"rough" noise, most interesting pattern changes happen there. Values below
0.5 will result in more "smooth" noise.

The node would render black in this case (but should use the
'active_render' layer choosen in the object data properties -- this is
now in line to how this is handled for e.g. UVs)
This introduces ATTR_STD_VERTEX_COLOR and uses this thoughout, if no
particular layer is specified in the node.

Lacunarity parameter determines scaling of subsequent octaves in fractal
noises. For example, Noise node have this scaling hardcoded to 2.0. Each
octave have twice bigger scale than previous one, resulting in finer details.
By design fractal noises that generate octaves with same seed should not
have Lacunarity set to 1.0, since then it just stacks up identical noises.

Previously Noise and Wave texture nodes would use noise functions within a [0,1]
range for distortion effects. We either add or subtract noise from coordinates,
never do both at same time. This led to the texture drastically shifting on the
diagonal axis of a plane / cube. This behavior makes the Distortion input hard
to control or animate. Capabilities of driving it with other texture are also
limited, diagonal shifting is very apparent.
This was fixed by offsetting the noise function to a signed range and making it
zero-centered. This way noise is uniformly added and subtracted from coordinates.
Texture pattern sticks to main coordinates which makes it way easier to control.
This change is not strictly backwards compatible, there is versioning to ensure
the scale of the distortion remains similar, but the particular pattern can be
a little different.
