This is relatively expensive and as per the OSL spec, this value is not
expected to be meaningful for non-light shaders. This makes viewport updates
a little faster.
As a side effect also fixes T82723, viewport refresh issue with volume density.
In the Bake > Output panel, there is now a choice between Image Textures and
Vertex Colors. The active vertex color layer is used for baking. This works
with both existing per-corner and sculpt per-vertex vertex colors.
The previous design is rather old and has a couple of problems:
* Scalability: The current solution of adding little icon buttons next to the
data-block name field doesn't scale well. It only works if there's a small
number of operations. We need to be able to place more items there for better
data-block management. Especially with the introduction of library overrides.
* Discoverability: It's not obvious what some of the icons do. They appear and
disappear, but it's not obvious why some are available at times and others
not.
* Unclear Status: Currently their library status (linked, indirectly linked,
broken link, library override) isn't really clear.
* Unusual behavior: Some of the icon buttons allow Shift or Ctrl clicking to
invoke alternative behaviors. This is not a usual pattern in Blender.
This patch does the following changes:
* Adds a menu to the right of the name button to access all kinds of operations
(create, delete, unlink, user management, library overrides, etc).
* Make good use of the "disabled hint" for tooltips, to explain why buttons are
disabled. The UI team wants to establish this as a good practise.
* Use superimposed icons for duplicate and unlink, rather than extra buttons
(uses less space, looks less distracting and is a nice + consistent design
language).
* Remove fake user and user count button, they are available from the menu now.
* Support tooltips for superimposed icons (committed mouse hover feedback to
master already).
* Slightly increase size of the name button - it was already a bit small
before, and the move from real buttons to superimposed icons reduces usable
space for the name itself.
* More clearly differentiate between duplicate and creating a new data-block.
The latter is only available in the menu.
* Display library status icon on the left (linked, missing library, overridden,
asset)
* Disables "Make Single User" button - in review we weren't sure if there are
good use-cases for it, so better to see if we can remove it.
Note that I do expect some aspects of this design to change still. I think some
changes are problematic, but others disagreed. I will open a feedback thread on
devtalk to see what others think.

Based on testing by Intel, rendering on Iris GPUs and upcoming Xe GPUs
should work. This is enabled on Windows and Linux.
More testing is needed to verify correctness and performance in production
scenes, but our basic benchmark files seem to give correct results.
Adds support for building multiple BVH types in order to support using both CPU and OptiX
devices for rendering simultaneously. Primitive packing for Embree and OptiX is now
standalone, so it only needs to be run once and can be shared between the two. Additionally,
BVH building was made a device call, so that each device backend can decide how to
perform the building. The multi-device for instance creates a special multi-BVH that holds
references to several sub-BVHs, one for each sub-device.

The issue is caused by stale data on the Mesh Node which is not cleared
during synchronizing since the socket API refactor so that we can detect
changes. However, synchronization only updates the sockets of the Mesh,
so other properties were left with outdated values.
This caused an underflow when computing attribute size for undisplaced
coordinates as it was using the current number of vertices minus the
previous count of subdivision vertices, which at this point should be 0.
Added a simple method to clear non socket data. Also modified
Mesh.add_undisplaced to always use an ATTR_PRIM_GEOMETRY as the data is
not subdivided yet and it avoids any further issues regarding computing
attribute sizes.
The SVM AO node calls "scene_intersect_local" with a NULL pointer for the intersection
information, which caused a crash with OptiX since it was not checking for this case and
always dereferencing this pointer. This fixes that by checking whether any hit information
was requested first (like is done in the BVH2 intersection routines).
OptiX support is not in fact experimental anymore, so it is time for that notice to go.
All Cycles features that are currently supported on the GPU do work now when OptiX is selected.
This enables support for baking when OptiX is active, but uses CUDA for that behind the scenes, since
the way baking is currently implemented does not work well with OptiX.

Support for the AO and bevel shader nodes requires calling "optixTrace" from within the shading
VM, which is only allowed from inlined functions to the raygen program or callables. This patch
therefore converts the shading VM to use direct callables to make it work. To prevent performance
regressions a separate kernel module is compiled and used for this purpose.

NanoVDB includes "assert.h" and makes use of "assert" in several places and since the compile
pipeline for CUDA/OptiX kernels does not define "NDEBUG" for release builds, those debug
checks were always added. This is not intended, so this patch disables "assert" for CUDA/OptiX
by defining "NDEBUG" before including NanoVDB headers.
This also fixes a warning about unknown pragmas in NanoVDB thrown by the CUDA compiler.
This infinite loop is caused by a conflict between the volume mesh
creation which unintentionally clears the shaders before early exiting
when no grid is found, and the Blender exporter which adds back the
shaders causing us to reupdate as the shaders changed.
To fix this simply preserve the shaders on the Volume node.
This separates out PugiXML that was previously
bundled by OIIO.
As this linux/mac libs are not available
this commit only contains the builder and windows
changes, and the option to enable pugixml is
guarded by a platform if, this can be removed
once all platforms have committed the svn libs.

The Normal Map node was falling back to (0, 0, 0) when it was missing
the required attributes to calculate a new normal.
(0, 0, 0) is not a valid normal and can lead to NaNs when it is
normalized later in the shader. Instead, we now return sd->N,
the unperturbed surface normal.
The OpenVDB data structure can store voxel data in leaf nodes or tiles
when all the nodes in a given region have a constant value. However,
Cycles is using the leaf nodes to generate the acceleration structure
for computing volume intersections which did not include constant tiles.
To fix this, we simply voxelize all the active tiles prior to generating
the volume bounding mesh. As we are using a MaskGrid, this will not
allocate actual voxel buffers for each leaf, so the memory usage will be
kept low.

Now that the Blender sync mechanism deletes nodes from the scene, we need to
ensure scene update is stopped before we do this.
Also add some more early out in scene geometry update to ensure we do not
continue working on incomplete geometry data, though that was not the cause of
this crash.
Two issues:
* Automatic deduplication of OpenVDB grid data was failing when Cycles had
already cleared the OpenVDB grid, causing an empty grid. Instead rely on
Blender return the same OpenVDB grid pointer when deduplication is possible.
* The volume bounds mesh was not properly cleared when the OpenVDB grid was
empty, causing a mismatch between mesh and voxel data.
The names of the parameters are based on those of those of the sockets, so they also need to be updated. This was forgotten about in the previous commit (rBa284e559b90e).

There were some changes to the NanoVDB API that broke the way Cycles was previously using it.
With these changes it compiles successfully again and also still compiles with the NanoVDB revision
that is currently part of the Blender dependencies. Ref T81454.
The "type" sockets on shader nodes were renamed in rB31a620b9420cab to
avoid clashes with the `NodeType type` member from the Node base class,
but the OSL shader compilation was missing those changes.
