Even though GLSL allows to have polymorphic functions our codegen
is not aware of this at all.
Let's rename the functions for now, but in the future would be handy
to make codegen aware of the polymorphic functions.
Quite striaghtforward implementation, with the only weird thing that for some reason
my video driver wasn't happy with calling the function "clamp" giving some weirdo
shader compilation error messages.
Called the GPU function clamp_val which can handle float and vec3.
Problem is that setup of stack indices which refer to the same stack
entry can lead to cyclic TexDelegate node pointers, causing an infinite
loop.
Fixing this would take too much time and require recoding large parts of
the texnodes system, which is earmarked for scrapping anyway ... So for
now just disabled muting in texnodes to avoid crashes.
This allows adding a "fake" sun beam effect, simulating crepuscular rays
from light being scattered in a medium like the atmosphere or deep water.
Such effects can be created also by renderers using volumetric lighting,
but the compositor feature is a lot cheaper and is independent from 3D
rendering. This makes it ideally suited for motion graphics.
The implementation uses am optimized accumulation method for gathering
color values along a line segment. The inner buffer loop uses fixed
offset increments to avoid unnecessary multiplications and avoids
variables by using compile-time specialization (see inline comments
for further details).
If the active image node contributes to the final material shader
(meaning it's either directly or indirectly connected to an Output Node)
the user will receive an alert about circular dependency.
Similar to what we do for Blender internal the baking will still happen,
but the user will receive the alert which should prevent the image
saving to happen if the result was not intentional.

trees for localization (previews and viewer evaluation).
This is handled entirely by the compositor already. Doing this during
localization is redundant and risks divergent behavior.
Issue here is that if there's a texture in the tree, chances are it has
already been set as active texture so groups are never traversed.
Now changed logic so that if a group node is active, its own active
texture takes priority over the parent group active texture.
* Anisotropic BSDF now supports GGX and Beckmann distributions, Ward has been
removed because other distributions are superior.
* GGX is now the default distribution for all glossy and anisotropic nodes,
since it looks good, has low noise and is fast to evaluate.
* Ashikhmin-Shirley is now available in the Glossy BSDF.
* Ashikhmin-Shirley anisotropic BSDF was added as closure
* Anisotropic BSDF node now has two distributions

This can for example be useful if you want to manually terminate the path at
some point and use a color other than black.

render layer nodes in a pinned tree from different scene.
The way these updates work is a nasty legacy hack:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/source/blender/nodes/composite/node_composite_tree.c$277
This function is called //very frequently// by the get_from_context
method. However, this does not get called for pinned node trees, so
when showing a different scene's compositing nodes in the editor they
may not get updated correctly.
Now moved this update call out of get_from_context so it happens in any
case. Will be called no more frequently than before (on every redraw).
Eventually the depsgraph should handle this more precisely, it's just a
simple ID dependency anyway ...
