Subject: [PATCH] Fix #105803: Cycles slow light tree build when previewing
 shader nodes

When linking a texture directly to the material output, it's likely being
done for the purpose of previewing. In that case, bias the heuristic towards
not building a light tree, as it's likely not needed and slow on dense meshes.
