This patch adds an AVX implementation of Perlin noise in Cycles.
An avxi type was also added as a utility based on the respective
type in Intel Embree.
Only 3D and 4D noise were implemented, there is no benefit for
utilizing AVX in 1D and 2D noise. The SSE trilinear interpolation
function was used in the AVX implementation because there is no
benefit from using AVX in interpolating the last three dimensions.

This patch allows the Voronoi node to operate in 1D, 2D, and 4D space.
It also adds a Randomness input to control the randomness of the texture.
Additionally, it adds three new modes of operation:
- Smooth F1: A smooth version of F1 Voronoi with no discontinuities.
- Distance To Edge: Returns the distance to the edges of the cells.
- N-Sphere Radius: Returns the radius of the n-sphere inscribed in
the cells. In other words, it is half the distance between the
closest feature point and the feature point closest to it.
And it removes the following three modes of operation:
- F3.
- F4.
- Cracks.
The Distance metric is now called Euclidean, and it computes the actual
euclidean distance as opposed to the old method of computing the squared
euclidean distance.
This breaks backward compatibility in many ways, including the base case.

Some implementations of the standard c++ library doesn't define its
functions in the global namespace. So the `isinf` function might
fail in some systems. To fix this, we use the `ensure_finite`
function instead.

This patch extends perlin noise to operate in 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D
space. The noise code has also been refactored to be more readable.
The Color output and distortion patterns changed, so this patch
breaks backward compatibility. This is due to the fact that we
now use random offsets as noise seeds, as opposed to swizzling
and constants offsets.

Before there were two options: Paste to original layer called "Paste" and Paste to active layer called "Paste & Merge"
Now, by default the paste is in active layer and the "Paste & Merge" has been renamed "Paste".
For old "Paste", now is called "Paste by Layer" and it's not the default value anymore.
Note: Minor edits to add icons not present in Differential revision.

The White Noise node hashes the input and returns a random number in the
range [0, 1]. The input can be a 1D, 2D, 3D, or a 4D vector.

This makes the code a bit easier to understand, and might come in handy
if we want to reuse more Embree code.

Code by Brecht, with fixes by Lockal, Sergey and myself.
Gives up to 15% speedup scenes with voronoi-based textures (up to 25% with volumes) on Haswell. The performance change for other CPUs is much smaller: 1-2%.

Use manual ternary operation widening in grad(). Without it nvcc 5.5 produces multiple branch splits with very big branches (because of inlining). This solves 19% performance regression for BMW1M-MikePan.blend.
Also remove one redundant instruction in perlin SSE (when h == 12 or h == 14, then h is always >= 4).

This to avoids build conflicts with libc++ on FreeBSD, these __ prefixed values
are reserved for compilers. I apologize to anyone who has patches or branches
and has to go through the pain of merging this change, it may be easiest to do
these same replacements in your code and then apply/merge the patch.

texture coordinates, due to int overflow.
Also minor tweak in shader code to avoid copying uninitialized
values, should have no effect though because they were not used.
* Add max diffuse/glossy/transmission bounces
* Add separate min/max for transparent depth
* Updated/added some presets that use these options
* Add ray visibility options for objects, to hide them from
camera/diffuse/glossy/transmission/shadow rays
* Is singular ray output for light path node
