This does a few things at once:
- Refactors host side split kernel logic into a new device
agnostic class `DeviceSplitKernel`.
- Removes tile splitting, a new work pool implementation takes its place and
allows as many threads as will fit in memory regardless of tile size, which
can give performance gains.
- Refactors split state buffers into one buffer, as well as reduces the
number of arguments passed to kernels. Means there's less code to deal
with overall.
- Moves kernel logic out of OpenCL kernel files so they can later be used by
other device types.
- Replaced OpenCL specific APIs with new generic versions
- Tiles can now be seen updating during rendering
Note that volume rendering is not supported yet, this is a step towards that.

BVH traversal is not really that much a geometry and we've got
quite some traversals now. Makes sense to keep them separate in
the name of source structure clarity.
The code was failing to compile on runtime because of some path differences,
and it seems we don't need to specify full path to the file which originally
seemed to be needed to make include directives expansion working correct.
Since the kernel split work we're now having quite a few of new files, majority
of which are related on the kernel entry points. Keeping those files in the
root kernel folder will eventually make it really hard to follow which files are
actual implementation of Cycles kernel.
Those files are now moved to kernel/kernels/<device_type>. This way adding extra
entry points will be less noisy. It is also nice to have all device-specific
files grouped together.
Another change is in the way how split kernel invokes logic. Previously all the
logic was implemented directly in the .cl files, which makes it a bit tricky to
re-use the logic across other devices. Since we'll likely be looking into doing
same split work for CUDA devices eventually it makes sense to move logic from
.cl files to header files. Those files are stored in kernel/split. This does not
mean the header files will not give error messages when tried to be included
from other devices and their arguments will likely be changed, but having such
separation is a good start anyway.
There should be no functional changes.
