Changes NanoVDB to be a standalone dependency that is independent of the OpenVDB one.
It works by downloading the "feature/nanovdb" branch of OpenVDB, but using the NanoVDB
CMake in the "nanovdb" subdirectory. Since it is header-only, only the install target is used.

NanoVDB is a platform-independent sparse volume data structure that makes it possible to
use OpenVDB volumes on the GPU. This patch uses it for volume rendering in Cycles,
replacing the previous usage of dense 3D textures.
Since it has a big impact on memory usage and performance and changes the OpenVDB
branch used for the rest of Blender as well, this is not enabled by default yet, which will
happen only after 2.82 was branched off. To enable it, build both dependencies and Blender
itself with the "WITH_NANOVDB" CMake option.

This this adds the option of building boost::python
in the libs builder, in preparation for future
dependencies that require it (ie pyopenvdb)
disabled by default, can be enabled with the
`WITH_BOOST_PYTHON` cmake option.

Enabling all `make deps` dependencies with the exception of Embree and OIDN.
After that, Blender can be compiled on an Apple Silicon Mac just like on any
Intel based Mac. There are still compiler warnings that need to be
investigated and there are probably a couple of bug still to be discovered
and to be fixed.
Most patches to the dependencies are simple and are about disabling SSE and
setting the proper architecture to compiile for. Notable exception is Python,
where I back ported a yet to be accepted PR for upstream Python:

This is in preparation of an the upcoming fix where we need to use a Metal
layer to avoid performance issue when drawing with OpenGL. Note that we already
only officially support 10.12+, the difference with this change is that Blender
will not start at all on 10.9 and 10.10.
Two changes:
Removed the explicit version for the macOS SDK, recent
versions of Xcode have a symlink to the newest SDK.
Fixed the build script for OpenMP by removing extra ' marks that
install_name_tool took literally and replaced INSTALL_PATH with
INSTALL_DIR.
Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

-expanded build_deps.cmd with 2017 support, it can't locate msvc2017 so needs to be run from developer prompt.
-Newer cmake was unhappy with openal's cmakelists.txt
-collada has warning as error on and errored out on new msvc2017 warnings.
FFMPEG & VPX don't handle target with --build parameter, so we need to make sure use of plain configure command

Note these are intended for platform maintainers, we do not intend to
support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.
