Push a task to TaskPool when more than MIN_PRIMS_PER_THREAD primitives are to be processed. The nodes are rearranged in a depth-first order when copied to the device.
Tested with the scene in #105550 on an Apple M1 Ultra (20 cores), about 11x speedup.

Build again with MIN_PRIMS_PER_THREAD set to INT_MAX to test the parallel build.

This looks generally fine, just some comments on implementation details.

Eventually we can also parallelize the loops in nodes with many prims. I suggest to add that as a separate bullet point in #77889 and make a comment in the code.

Is there a reason this is a template argument instead of a regular function argument?

It's only used for parent->children[child], not worth specializing the function for as far as I can see.

This name is too generic to put in the global Cycles namespace. Should be either defined inside the LightTree class, or named LightTreeChild.

We try to avoid new and delete in new code to avoid potential memory allocation bugs. Instead unique_ptr and make_unique can be used.

It's also used for recursive_build<left>(current_node, start, middle, prims, bit_trail, depth + 1);, I think it looks better than recursive_build(0, current_node, start, middle, prims, bit_trail, depth + 1);

I tried to parallelize that too, but I saw almost no performance improvement.
After this pull request is merged, I'll build another one upon it that computes the bounding box (and so on) of a node by summing up the buckets, then it should be fine.

I think this would look ok too?

recursive_build(left, current_node, start, middle, prims, bit_trail, depth + 1);

Generally there should be a performance reason for using templates like this. Not a big deal for any individual function, but still would rather not do it here.
