0c3d3e5562 Cycles: optimization to not compile shaders and load images that are not
used by any mesh/lamp/world.

1d8c798188 Cycles: support for motion vector and UV passes.
Most of the changes are related to adding support for motion data throughout
the code. There's some code for actual camera/object motion blur raytracing
but it's unfinished (it badly slows down the raytracing kernel even when the
option is turned off), so that code it disabled still.

Motion vector export from Blender tries to avoid computing derived meshes
when the mesh does not have a deforming modifier, and it also won't store
motion vectors for every vertex if only the object or camera is moving.

88a261c13b Cycles: add render layer use environment option to disable world lighting on
individual render layers.

0052cbed0d Cycles: support for mask layers in render layer, this has the same effect as
assigning holdout shaders to every object in the specified layers.

f99343d3b8 Cycles: Render Passes
Currently supported passes:
* Combined, Z, Normal, Object Index, Material Index, Emission, Environment,
  Diffuse/Glossy/Transmission x Direct/Indirect/Color

Not supported yet:
* UV, Vector, Mist

Only enabled for CPU devices at the moment, will do GPU tweaks tommorrow,
also for environment importance sampling.

9ebfcea8f3 Cycles: revert commit that joined surface/volume socket into a single shader socket,
on second thought this makes it a bit too difficult to understand what's going on.

7503a7edfb Cycles: replace surface/volume sockets in output nodes with a single shader socket,
decided it's better to render objects as either surface or volume.

This may break the volume rendering patch, but shaders with volume closures still
get tagged as having volume closures, so it should be fixable without too many
changes.

cdee3435c6 Cycles: internal changes that should have no effect on user level yet, added
shader flags for various purposes, and some code for light types other than
points.

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
