It makes more sense to stick to DEG_iterator_object order in name, since we can
have functions to iterate over different entities and we want all of them to
have common prefix.
This option prevent from automatically blurring the albedo color applied to the SSS.
While this is great for preserving details it can bleed more light onto the nearby objects since the blurring will be done on pure "white" irradiance.
This issue is to be tackled in a separate commit.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

This patch moves all the functionality previously in SceneRenderLayer to SceneLayer.
If we want to rename some of these structs now would be a good time to do it, before they are in SceneLayer.
Everything should be working, though I will test things further tomorrow. Once this is committed depsgraph can get
rid of the workaround added in rna_Main_meshes_new_from_object and finish whatever this patch was preventing from being finished.
This patch also adds a few placeholders for the overrides (samples, ...). These are obviously not working, so some unittests that rely on 'lay', and 'zmask' will fail.
This patch does not addressed the change of moving samples to ViewRender (I have this as a separate patch and needs some separate discussion).
Following next is the individual note of the individual parts that were committed.
Note 1: It is up to Cycles to still get rid of exclude_layer internally.
Note 2: Cycles still need to handle its own doversion for the use_layer_samples cases and
(1) Remove the override as it is
(2) Add a new override (scene.cycles.samples) if scene.cycles.use_layer_samples != IGNORE
Respecting the expected behaviour when scene.cycles.use_layer_samples == BOUNDED.
Note 3: Cycles still need to implement the per-object holdout
(similar to how we do shadow catcher).
Note 4: There are parts of the old (Blender Internal) rendering pipeline that is still
using lay, e.g., in shi->lay.
Honestly it will be easier to purge the entire Blender Internal code away instead of taking things from it bit by bit.

Samples : pretty self explanatory.
Jitter Threshold : Reduce cache misses and improve performance (greatly) by lowering this value. This settings let user decide how many samples should be jittered (rotated) to reduce banding artifacts.
How to use:
- Enable subsurface scattering in the render options.
- Add Subsurface BSDF to your shader.
- Check "Screen Space Subsurface Scattering" in the material panel options.
This initial implementation has a few limitations:
- only supports gaussian SSS.
- Does not support principled shader.
- The radius parameters is baked down to a number of samples and then put into an UBO. This means the radius input socket cannot be used. You need to tweak the default vector directly.
- The "texture blur" is considered as always set to 1
New access is C.scene.render_layers.active.depsgraph. This will give depsgraph
for a given layer. In the future there will need to be some extra context to be
passed.
The system now uses several 3D textures in order to decouple every steps of the volumetric rendering.
See https://www.ea.com/frostbite/news/physically-based-unified-volumetric-rendering-in-frostbite for more details.
On the technical side, instead of using a compute shader to populate the 3D textures we use layered rendering with a geometry shader to render 1 fullscreen triangle per 3D texture slice.
rna_scene.c was getting way too big with data that was related to
DNA_layer_types.h.
I tried doing it earlier, but failed. But now with the new changes I think it's
better to do this sooner than later.
