depending on bsdf->ior and whether the interaction is refraction.

Fix: Cycles: wrong refractive index in path guiding
should be the relative IOR of the outgoing media to the incoming media,
depending solely on `bsdf->ior` and whether the interaction is
refraction.

Hard to say if there is any difference, but in general path guiding seems to have many fireflies.

I enabled the verification when WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG is defined. There is another discrepancy though, function bsdf_is_transmission() checks with sd->N, but when sampling we check against sd->Ng.

The failed blendfile_library_overrides test doesn't seem to be related to this patch.

@weizhen the change look correct.
About the bsdf_is_transmission function, I think the problem is that each closure can have its own shading normal, which makes it it impossible to robustly identify the correct situation if a ray is transmission or not if you do not add an explicit closure to it.
