Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

Was a mistake in optimization commit which was disconnecting closures and nodes
which does not make sense for volume output.
OSL script we can't ignore and can't currently know in advance if it's a proper
volume shader or not. So we never disconnect OSL nodes from volume output.
This is a good candidate for corrective release.
This patch goes away form using C++ RNA during tangent space calculation which
avoids quite a bit of overhead. Now all calculation is done using data which
already exists in ccl::Mesh. This means, tangent space is now calculated from
triangles, which doesn't seem to be any different (at least as far as regression
tests are concerned).
One of the positive sides is that this change makes it possible to move tangent
space calculation from blender/ to render/ so we will have Cycles standalone
supporting tangent space.

This change affects CUDA GPUs not connected to a display or connected to a
display but supporting compute preemption so that the display does not
freeze. I couldn't find an official list, but compute preemption seems to be
only supported with GTX 1070+ and Linux (not GTX 1060- or Windows).
This helps improve small tile rendering performance further if there are
sufficient samples x number of pixels in a single tile to keep the GPU busy.
Best guess is that cuInit() somehow interferes with the AMD graphics driver
on Windows, and switching the initialization order to do OpenCL first seems
to solve the issue.
* Use common TextureInfo struct for all devices, except CUDA fermi.
* Move image sampling code to kernels/*/kernel_*_image.h files.
* Use arrays for data textures on Fermi too, so device_vector<Struct> works.
Two issues here:
- Checking table size to be non-zero is not a proper way to go here. This is
because we first resize the table and then fill it in. So it was possible that
non-initialized table was used.
Trickery with using temporary memory and then doing table.swap() might work,
but we can not guarantee that table size will be set after the data pointer.
- Mutex guard was useless, because every thread was using own mutex. Need to
make mutex guard static so all threads are using same mutex.
The issue was caused by light sample being evaluated to nan at some point.
This is root of the cause which is to be fixed, but is very hard to trace down
especially via ssh (the issue only happens on AVX2 release build). Will give it
a closer look when back to my AVX2 machine.
For until then this is a good check to have anyway, it corresponds to what's
happening in regular radiance sum.
The work size is still very conservative, and this doesn't help for progressive
refine. For that we will need to render multiple tiles at the same time. But this
should already help for denoising renders that require too much memory with big
tiles, and just generally soften the performance dropoff with small tiles.

This was originally done with the first sample in the kernel for better
performance, but it doesn't work anymore with atomics. Any benefit was
very minor anyway, too small to measure it seems.
Notes:
- Changes in paint_vertex.c were simple to merge, mainly related on passing
evaluation context.
- Conflicts in EditDM and drawmesh.c are solved using code from blender2.8
branch. Those areas are deprecated and not to be used in final release.
However, it's possible that some reference code from master is lost, so
keep attention when adding alpha support for vertex painting.
This is done by storing only a subset of PathRadiance, and by storing
direct light immediately in the main PathRadiance. Saves about 10% of
CUDA stack memory, and simplifies subsurface indirect ray code.
