This change switches Cycles to an opensource HIP-RT library which
implements hardware ray-tracing. This library is now used on
both Windows and Linux. While there should be no noticeable changes
on Windows, on Linux this adds support for hardware ray-tracing on
AMD GPUs.
The majority of the change is typical platform code to add new
library to the dependency builder, and a change in the way how
ahead-of-time (AoT) kernels are compiled. There are changes in
Cycles itself, but they are rather straightforward: some APIs
changed in the opensource version of the library.
There are a couple of extra files which are needed for this to
work: hiprt02003_6.1_amd.hipfb and oro_compiled_kernels.hipfb.
There are some assumptions in the HIP-RT library about how they
are available. Currently they follow the same rule as AoT
kernels for oneAPI:
- On Windows they are next to blender.exe
- On Linux they are in the lib/ folder

For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

This patch adds two new kernels: SORT_BUCKET_PASS and SORT_WRITE_PASS. These replace PREFIX_SUM and SORTED_PATHS_ARRAY on supported devices (currently implemented on Metal, but will be trivial to enable on the other backends). The new kernels exploit sort partitioning (see D15331) by sorting each partition separately using local atomics. This can give an overall render speedup of 2-3% depending on architecture. As before, we fall back to the original non-partitioned sorting when the shader count is "too high".

This patch tunes the integrator state sizing for Metal (`num_concurrent_states` and `num_concurrent_busy_states`).
On all GPUs architecture, we adjust the busy:total states ratio to be 1:4 which gives better rendering performance than the previous 1:16 ratio (independent of total state count). This gives a small performance uplift (e.g. 2-3% on M1 Ultra).
Additionally for M2 architectures, we double the overall state size if there is available headroom. Inclusive of the first change, we can expect uplift of close to 10% in future, as this results in larger dispatch sizes and minimises work submission overheads. In order to make an accurate determination of available headroom, we defer the calculation of `num_concurrent_states` and `num_concurrent_busy_states` until the time of integrator state allocation (i.e. after all of the scene data has been allocated). We also refactor `alloc_integrator_soa` to calculate an *exact* single-state-size in a first pass, right before allocating the integrator SoA buffers in a second pass.

When verbose level 4 is enabled, Blender prints kernel performance
data for Cycles on GPU backends (except Metal that doesn't use
debug_enqueue_* methods) for groups of kernels.
These changes introduce a new CYCLES_DEBUG_PER_KERNEL_PERFORMANCE
environment variable to allow getting timings for each kernels
separately and not grouped with others. This is done by adding
explicit synchronization after each kernel execution.

This was added for Metal, but also gives good results with CUDA and OptiX.
Also enable it for future Apple GPUs instead of only M1 and M2, since this has
been shown to help across multiple GPUs so the better bet seems to enable
rather than disable it.
Also moves some of the logic outside of the Metal device code, and always
enables the code in the kernel since other devices don't do dynamic compile.

Ref D15331, T87836
This patch partitions the active indices into chunks prior to sorting by material in order to tradeoff some material coherence for better locality. On Apple Silicon GPUs (particularly higher end M1-family GPUs), we observe overall render time speedups of up to 15%. The partitioning is implemented by repeating the range of `shader_sort_key` for each partition, and encoding a "locator" key which distributes the indices into sorted chunks.

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.
