This makes it possible to use `texture` and `texture3d` in custom
OSL shaders with a constant image file name as argument on the
GPU, where previously texturing was only possible through Cycles
nodes.
For constant file name arguments, OSL calls
`OSL::RendererServices::get_texture_handle()` with the file name
string to convert it into an opaque handle for use on the GPU.
That is now used to load the respective image file using the Cycles
image manager and generate a SVM handle that can be used on
the GPU. Some care is necessary as the renderer services class is
shared across multiple Cycles instances, whereas the Cycles image
manager is local to each.

This patch generalizes the OSL support in Cycles to include GPU
device types and adds an implementation for that in the OptiX
device. There are some caveats still, including simplified texturing
due to lack of OIIO on the GPU and a few missing OSL intrinsics.
Note that this is incomplete and missing an update to the OSL
library before being enabled! The implementation is already
committed now to simplify further development.

Cleans up the file structure to be more similar to that of the SVM
and also makes it possible to build kernels with OSL support, but
without having to include SVM support.

This has the advantage of being able to use information about the
existing OSL closures in various places without code duplication. In
addition, the setup code for all closures was moved to standalone
functions to avoid usage of virtual function calls in preparation for GPU
support.

This completes support for tiled texture packing on the Blender / Cycles
side of things.
Most of these changes fall into one of three categories:
- Updating Image handling code to pack/unpack tiled and multi-view images
- Updating Cycles to handle tiled textures through BlenderImageLoader
- Updating OSL to properly handle textures with multiple slots

An alpha component can be specified for an object's color. This adds an alpha
socket to the object info shader node allowing for the alpha component of the
object's color to be accessed in the shader editor.

* Replace license text in headers with SPDX identifiers.
* Remove specific license info from outdated readme.txt, instead leave details
to the source files.
* Add list of SPDX license identifiers used, and corresponding license texts.
* Update copyright dates while we're at it.

With (center) position, radius and random value outputs.
Eevee does not yet support rendering point clouds, but an untested
implementation of this node was added for when it does.
Ref T92573
This add support for rendering of the point cloud object in Blender, as a native
geometry type in Cycles that is more memory and time efficient than instancing
sphere meshes. This can be useful for rendering sand, water splashes, particles,
motion graphics, etc.
Points are currently always rendered as spheres, with backface culling. More
shapes are likely to be added later, but this is the most important one and can
be customized with shaders.
For CPU rendering the Embree primitive is used, for GPU there is our own
intersection code. Motion blur is suppored. Volumes inside points are not
currently supported.
Implemented with help from:
* Kévin Dietrich: Alembic procedural integration
* Patrick Mourse: OptiX integration
* Josh Whelchel: update for cycles-x changes

Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
