Using ones complement for detecting if transform has been applied was confusing
and led to several bugs. With this proper checks are made.
Also added a few transforms where they were missing, mostly affecting baking
and displacement when `P` is used in the shader (previously `P` was in the
wrong space for these shaders)
Also removed `TIME_INVALID` as this may have resulted in incorrect
transforms in some cases.

Bump mapping was happening in world space while displacement happens in object
space, causing shading errors when displacement type was used with bump mapping.
To fix this the proper transforms are added to bump nodes. This is only done
for automatic bump mapping however, to avoid visual changes from other uses of
bump mapping. It would be nice to do this for all bump mapping to be consistent
but that will have to wait till we can break compatibility.

Most of the time, Lamps in Cycles are just a constant emission closure, no texturing etc. Therefore, running a full shader evaluation is wasteful.
To avoid that, Cycles now detects these constant emission shaders and stores their value in the lamp data along with a flag in the shader.
Then, at runtime, if this flag is set, the lamp code just uses this value and only runs the full shader evaluation if it is neccessary.
In scenes with a lot of lamps and with "Sample all direct/indirect" enabled, this saves up to 20% of rendering time in my tests.

For proper indexing to work we need to use unaligned node with
identity transform instead of aligned nodes when doing refit.
To be backported to 2.78 release.
Weirdly enough, this version of XCode seems to have static_assert()
even when NOT using C++11. This is totally weird and counter intuitive
since static_assert() is supposed to be C++11 onlky feature.
Can XCode stop using future, please? :)
The two SVM nodes added with e7ea1ae78c caused a slowdown on AMD cards when rendering with OpenCL, whether displacement was used or not.
In the Barcelona Pavillon scene on a RX480, this would cause a 12% slowdown.
Therefore, this commit adds a additional flag for feature-adaptive compilation so that the new SVM nodes are only enabled when they are needed (Node tree connected to the Displacement output and Displacement type set to Both).
Also, the nodes were also added to shaders when the Displacement Type was set to Bump (the default), which was unneccessary and is fixed now.
Thanks to linda2 on IRC for reporting and testing and to maiself for help with the displacement shader code.
This fix might be relevant for 2.78, but it should be tested further before including it.
Object coordinates can now be used in the displacement shader and will give
correct results, where as before bump mapping was calculated from the displace
positions and resulted in incorrect shading.
This works by evaluating the shader in two parts, first bump then surface, and
setting the shader state to match what it would be if the surface was
undisplaced for the bump shader evaluation. Currently only `P` is set as if
undisplaced, but other shader variables could be set as well, such as `I` or
`time`. Since these aren't set to anything meaningful for displacement I left
them out of this patch, we can decide what to do with them separately.

Storing multiple copies of a shader was needed when the displacement method was
a mesh option and could be different for each mesh. Now that its a shader option
this is unnecessary.

There basically are two issues here: in smooth mode (and all non-tangent
normal map types) it doesn't invert the normal for backfacing polys;
on the other hand for flat shaded tangent type it is inverted too soon.
This fix does a brute force correction by checking the backfacing flag.

Meshes with Cycles subdivision were being transformed to world space leading to
normals to sometimes be calculated in that space, while they should be in
object space. Also caused dicing to happen at the wrong rate for scaled meshes.
Users have been getting a bit confused by the way things are worded/arranged in
the UI. This patch makes a few changes to the UI to make it more clear how to
use subdivision:
- make Subdivide UVs option inactive when adaptive subdivision is enabled as UV
subdivision is currently unsupported
- add "px" to dicing rates in the Geometry Panel
- display the final dicing rate in the modifier
- reworded "Dicing Rate" in the modifier to "Dicing Scale" to make more clear
that this is a multiplier for the scene dicing rate and added a note the the
tooltip pointing the user to that setting in the Geometry Panel

Changes from microdisplacement work broke previous support for subdivision
meshes, sometimes leading to crashes; this makes things work again. Files
that contain "patch" nodes will need to be updated to use meshes instead, as
specifying patches was both inefficient and completely unsupported by the new
subdivision code.
The if branches were reordered when the original patch was
committed, which broke the implicit non-NULL guarantee on link.
To prevent re-occurrence, add a couple of unit tests.

These latter can cause MSVC debug asserts if the array is empty. With C++11
we'll be able to do this for std::vector later. This hopefully fixes an assert
in the Cycles subdivision code.
Kernels can now be built without patch evaluation when not needed by the
scene (Catmull-Clark subdivision not in use), giving a performance boost
for some devices.
By calling `tessellate()` from the mesh manager in Cycles we can do pre/post
processing or even threaded tessellation without concerning client side code
with the details.
