Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

Mainly useful for debugging. Previously, when AVX2 was disabled
in the debug panel but BVH layout was kept on BVH8 nothing was
rendered.
Needed to make it so supported BVH layout mask for devices is
queried in "dynamic", so it is possible to use DebugFlags there.
Needed for the animation denoiser since the denoising filter is done separately there.

This allows for extra output passes that encode automatic object and material masks
for the entire scene. It is an implementation of the Cryptomatte standard as
introduced by Psyop. A good future extension would be to add a manifest to the
export and to do plenty of testing to ensure that it is fully compatible with other
renderers and compositing programs that use Cryptomatte.
Internally, it adds the ability for Cycles to have several passes of the same type
that are distinguished by their name.

Apparently quite a few users would like to have the noisy pass available when using the denoiser, and since it's being generated anyways we might as well expose it by default.

This function is supposed to prevent the black artifacts caused by strong normal- or bumpmapping, but failed in some cases.
Now the code correctly handles all test files and previous issues I am aware of and also has extensive comments describing
the algorithm and the math behind it.
Basically, the main problem was that there can be multiple valid solutions that fulfil the reflection angle criterium,
but I had assumed that only one would exist and therefore simply picked the first solution with a positive term in srqt().
Now, the code uses additional validity checks and a simple heuristic to pick the best valid solution.
Additionally, the code messed up very shallow reflections even if the normal map strength was zero due to the constant
limit for the outgoing ray angle, which caused shallow incoming rays to fail the initial test even when reflected directly
on Ng. Now, the code accounts for this by reducing the threshold in the case of a shallow incoming ray, ensuring that at
least N=Ng is always a valid solution.

Since my temporary buffer commit (about a month ago), the OpenCL device was zeroing the wrong buffer, leading to
completely wrong filtered feature passes and therefore significantly lower-quality results than CPU and CUDA.
With new jemalloc versions memory allocated by threads that then become
inactive is not longer automatically freed. Instead we have to enable a
background thread to do it.
Some testing is needed to find out of this is sufficient, because the
background thread only runs periodically.
The crash was caused by BVH traversal stack being overflowed.
That overflow was caused by lots of false-positive intersections
for rays originating on a non-finite location.
Not sure why those rays will be existing in the first place,
this is to be investigated separately.
This commit moves pre-SSE4.1 check to a higher level function
and enables it for all miroarchitectures.
While building the AVX kernel, util_avxf.h/avxb.h were using some AVX2 intrinsics,
these were never called, so it wasn't a run-time issue, but the intrinsics headers
on centos excluded the AVX2 prototypes when building the AVX kernel causing build errors.
This commit cleans up the improper usage of the AVX2 intrinsics and provides AVX
fallback implementations for future use.

This isn't really possible to do the shuffle which was attempted to do.
While it's possible to achieve expected behavior, the function needs to
be rewritten. Since it's not used anyway, it's simpler to remove it for
now.
Failed as in did not allocate due to possibly weight cutoff.
Tryign to allocated Extra storage for closure in such situation
will consfuse Cycles and cause crashes later one due to obscure
values in ShaderData.
* WITH_SYSTEM_OPENJPEG is removed and is now always on, this was already
the case for macOS and Windows.
* This should not break existing Linx builds. If there is no new enough
OpenJPEG installed, CMake will no find libopenjp2 and WITH_IMAGE_OPENJPEG
will be disabled.
* install_deps.sh was updated with new package names, since distributions
put this version in a new package.
