Host memory fallback in CUDA and HIP devices is almost identical.
We remove duplicated code and create a shared generic version that
other devices (oneAPI) will be able to use.

This patch optimises subsurface intersection queries on MetalRT. Currently intersect_local traverses from the scene root, retrospectively discarding all non-local hits. Using a lookup of bottom level acceleration structures, we can explicitly query only the relevant instance. On M1 Max, with MetalRT selected, this can give a render speedup of 15-20% for scenes like Monster which make heavy use of subsurface scattering.

This patch adds two new kernels: SORT_BUCKET_PASS and SORT_WRITE_PASS. These replace PREFIX_SUM and SORTED_PATHS_ARRAY on supported devices (currently implemented on Metal, but will be trivial to enable on the other backends). The new kernels exploit sort partitioning (see D15331) by sorting each partition separately using local atomics. This can give an overall render speedup of 2-3% depending on architecture. As before, we fall back to the original non-partitioned sorting when the shader count is "too high".

This patch removes the option to select both AMD and Intel GPUs on system that have both. Currently both devices will be selected by default which results in crashes and other poorly understood behaviour. This patch adds precedence for using any discrete AMD GPU over an integrated Intel one. This can be overridden with CYCLES_METAL_FORCE_INTEL.

Mutex locks for manipulating GHOST_System::m_timerManager from
GHOST_SystemWayland relied on WAYLAND being the only user of the
timer-manager.
This isn't the case as timers are fired from
`GHOST_System::dispatchEvents`.
Resolve by using a separate timer-manager for wayland key-repeat timers.
Resolve a thread safety issue reported by valgrind's helgrind checker,
although I wasn't able to redo the error in practice.
NULL check on the key-repeat timer also needs to lock, otherwise it's
possible the timer is set in another thread before the lock is acquired.
Now all key-repeat timer access which may run from a thread
locks the timer mutex before any checks or timer manipulation.
This is both a cleanup and a preparation for the Principled v2 changes.
Notable changes:
- Clearcoat weight is now folded into the closure weight, there's no reason
to track this separately.
- There's a general-purpose helper for computing a Closure's albedo, which is
currently used by the denoising albedo and diffuse/gloss/transmission color
passes.
- The d/g/t color passes didn't account for closure albedo before, this means
that e.g. metallic shaders with Principled v2 now have their color texture
included in the glossy color pass. Also fixes T104041 (sheen albedo).
- Instead of precomputing and storing the albedo during shader setup, compute
it when needed. This is technically redundant since we still need to compute
it on shader setup to adjust the sample weight, but the operation is cheap
enough that freeing up the storage seems worth it.
- Future changes (Principled v2) are easier to integrate since the Fresnel
handling isn't all over the place anymore.
- Fresnel handling in the Multiscattering GGX code is still ugly, but since
removing that entirely is the next step, putting effort into cleaning it up
doesn't seem worth it.
- Apart from the d/g/t color passes, no changes to render results are expected.

Cycles ignores the size of spot lights, therefore the illuminated area doesn't match the gizmo. This patch resolves this discrepancy.

The image manager used to handle OSL textures on the GPU by
default loads images after displacement is evaluated. This is a
problem when the displacement shader uses any textures, hence
why the geometry manager already makes the image manager
load any images used in the displacement shader graph early
(`GeometryManager::device_update_displacement_images`).
This only handled Cycles image nodes however, not OSL nodes, so
if any `texture` calls were made in OSL those would be missed and
therefore crash when accessed on the GPU. Unfortunately it is not
simple to determine which textures referenced by OSL are needed
for displacement, so the solution for now is to simply load all of
them early if true displacement is used.
This patch also fixes the result of the displacement shader not
being used properly in OptiX.

Also minor changes in comments:
- Reference BLENDER_HISTORY_FILE instead of the literal file-name
(simplifies looking up usage).
- Use usernames in tags, as noted in code-style.
The `MultiDevice` implementation of `get_cpu_osl_memory` returns a
nullptr when there is no CPU device in the mix. As such access to that
crashed in `update_osl_globals`. But that only updates maps that are not
currently used on the GPU anyway, so can just skip that when the CPU
is not used for rendering.

Paths to vulkan libraries, paths and related components were
hardcoded in the platform cmake file. This patch separates
this by using adding CMake modules for Vulkan and ShaderC.
This change has only been applied to the macOs configuration as
that is currently our main platform for development. Other platforms
will be added during the development of the Vulkan back-end.
Removing all OSL script nodes from the shader graph would cause that
graph to no longer report it using `KERNEL_FEATURE_SHADER_RAYTRACE`
via `ShaderManager::get_graph_kernel_features`, but the shader object
itself still would have the `has_surface_raytrace` field set.
This caused kernels to be reloaded without shader raytracing support, but
later the `DEVICE_KERNEL_INTEGRATOR_SHADE_SURFACE_RAYTRACE`
kernel would still be invoked since the shader continued to report it
requiring that through the `SD_HAS_RAYTRACE` flag set because of
`has_surface_raytrace`.
Fix that by ensuring `has_surface_raytrace` is reset on every shader update,
so that when all OSL script nodes are deleted it is set to false, and only
stays true when there are still OSL script nodes (or other nodes using it).

Based on "Sampling the GGX Distribution of Visible Normals" by Eric Heitz
(https://jcgt.org/published/0007/04/01/).
Also, this removes the lambdaI computation from the Beckmann sampling code and
just recomputes it below. We already need to recompute for two other cases
(GGX and clearcoat), so this makes the code more consistent.
In terms of performance, I don't expect a notable impact since the earlier
computation also was non-trivial, and while it probably was slightly more
accurate, I'd argue that being consistent between evaluation and sampling is
more important than absolute numerical accuracy anyways.

This gives closer results to what I've seen in papers and other renderers when
using the code to precompute albedo later (to replace MultiGGX).
It's usually a tiny difference, the only case where I've seen it matter is
in the `shader/node_group_float.blend` test - but that's a (single-scatter) GGX
closure with 0.9 roughness, so it's not too surprising. In any case, the new
result looks closer to Eevee, so that's good I guess.

Speckles and missing lights were experienced in scenes with Nishita Sky
Texture and a Sun Size smaller than 1.5°, such as in Lone Monk and Attic
scenes.
Increasing the precision of cosf fixes it.
A noticeable (>5%) performance regression in oneAPI backend came with
a501a2dbff. Updating to latest graphics
compiler from driver 101.4032 fixes it.
I've tested it with current min-supported drivers and it runs well but
since compatibility of graphics compiler with older drivers isn't
guaranteed, I'm also bumping the min-supported driver versions.
If end-users consider latest drivers too fresh to switch to (version
isn't released as stable on Linux as of today but should be before
Blender 3.5 release), CYCLES_ONEAPI_ALL_DEVICES=1 env variable can be
used.
Intel Graphics Compiler on Linux will be updated in a later commit
so we can then close D16984.

Improve handling for cases where maximum in-flight command buffer count is exceeded. This can occur during light-baking operations. Ensures the application handles this gracefully and also improves workload pipelining by situationally stalling until GPU work has completed, if too much work is queued up.

This isn't correct as window activation is handled separately
from the cursor entering/leaving a window.
This would call de-activate when the cursor moved outside the window
even though the window remained focused.
Rely on focus changes which already handle activate/deactivate events.
Swap-buffers was being deferred (to prevent it being called
from the event handling thread) however when it was called the
OpenGL context might not be active (especially with multiple windows).
Moving the cursor between windows made eglSwapBuffers report:
EGL Error (0x300D): EGL_BAD_SURFACE.
Resolve this by removing swapBuffer calls and instead add a
GHOST_kEventWindowUpdateDecor event intended for redrawing
client-side-decoration.
Besides the warning, this results an error with LIBDECOR window frames
not redrawing when a window became inactive.
The background evaluation samples the sky discretely, so if the sun is
too small, it can be missed in the evaluation. To solve this, the sun is
ignored during the background evaluation and its contribution is
computed separately.
The lookup table method on CPU and the numerical root finding method on
GPU give quite different results. This commit deletes the Beckmann lookup
table and uses numerical root finding on all devices. For the numerical
root finding, a combined bisection-Newton method with precision control
is used.

This makes it possible to use `texture` and `texture3d` in custom
OSL shaders with a constant image file name as argument on the
GPU, where previously texturing was only possible through Cycles
nodes.
For constant file name arguments, OSL calls
`OSL::RendererServices::get_texture_handle()` with the file name
string to convert it into an opaque handle for use on the GPU.
That is now used to load the respective image file using the Cycles
image manager and generate a SVM handle that can be used on
the GPU. Some care is necessary as the renderer services class is
shared across multiple Cycles instances, whereas the Cycles image
manager is local to each.
