aa1e4baa22 Cycles : add a Volume Geometry Node
This splits the volume related data (properties for rendering and attributes) of the Mesh node
into a new `Volume` node type.

This `Volume` node derives from the `Mesh` class since we generate a mesh for the bounds of the
volume, as such we can safely work on `Volumes` as if they were `Meshes`, e.g. for BVH creation.
However such code should still check for the geometry type of the object to be `MESH` or `VOLUME`
which may be bug prone if this is forgotten.

This is part of T79131.

2c41c8e94f Cycles: internal refactoring to make thick/ribbon curve separate primitives
Also removing the curve system manager which only stored a few curve intersection
settings. These are all changes towards making shape and subdivision settings
per-object instead of per-scene, but there is more work to do here.

f5237f7704 Fix long OptiX BVH build times in Cycles with many objects
Looping over all primitives for every object is really slow, so this patch avoids that by moving
the necessary assignments inline with the primitive merging done for every geometry.

70a32adfeb Fix assert in Cycles memory statistics when using OptiX on multiple GPUs
The acceleration structure built by OptiX may be different between GPUs, so cannot assume the memory size is the same for all.
This fixes that by moving the memory management for all OptiX acceleration structures into the responsibility of each device (was already the case for BLAS previously, now for TLAS too).

a2b52dc571 Cycles: add Optix device backend
This uses hardware-accelerated raytracing on NVIDIA RTX graphics cards.

It is still currently experimental. Most features are supported, but a few
are still missing like baking, branched path tracing and using CPU memory.
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.81/Cycles#NVIDIA_RTX

For building with Optix support, the Optix SDK must be installed. See here for
build instructions:
