When the strength is initially set to zero, the shader graph is
optimized out to remove any node which will not be executed because of
this, which removes pretty much every single node, except for the
output. As the graph is empty, the world shader is made invisible to
rays so it is not evaluated in the kernel.
However, when the strength is then modified, the Background is not
updated as the modification happens on the Shader Node and not on the
Background Node, so it is never tagged as modified.
To fix this, we need to tag the Background as modified when its shader
is also modified so the Kernel data is properly updated.

Separate tile buffers on all devices only need to exist when denoising is active (so any overlap
being rendered simultaneously does not write to the same memory region).
When denoising is not active they can be distributed like all other memory when peer
memory support is available.

As a rather premature optimization from rBbbe6d4492823, Object bounds
were only computed when either the Object or its Geometry were modified.
Prior to rB42198e9eb03b, this would work, as the Geometry was tagged as
modified if the Object's transform was also modified.
Since this tagging is not done anymore due to side effects, and since at
the time bounds are computed Objects were already processed and tag as
unmodified, the check on the modified status was always false.
For now remove this check, so the bounds are always unconditionally
updated. If this ever becomes a performance problem in large scenes with
motion blur, we will then try to find a way to nicely optimize it.
This would only affect BHV2 as OptiX and Embree handle object bounds
themselves.
This patch renames two domains:
* `Polygon` -> `Face`
* `Corner` -> `Face Corner`
For the change from `polygon` to `face` I did a "deep rename" where I updated
all (most?) cases where we refere to the attribute domain in code as well.
The change from `corner` to `face corner` is only a ui change. I did not see
a real need to update all code the code for that. It does not seem to improve
the code, more on the contrary.

Currently the procedural will add an entry to the cache for every frame
even if the data only changes seldomly. This means that in some cases we
will have duplicate data accross frames.
The cached data is now stored separately from the time information, and
an index is used to retrieve it based on time. This decoupling allows
for multiple frames to point to the same data.
To check if two arrays are the same, we compute their keys using the
Alembic library's routines (which is based on murmur3), and tell the
cache to reuse the last data if the keys match.
This can drastically reduce memory usage at the cost of more processing
time, although processing time is only increased if the topology may
change.
In order to update the BVH when only the transformations are changing,
we would tag the Object's Geometry as modified. However, when
displacement is used, and the vertices were not themselves modified,
this would cause us to redo the displacement on already displaced
vertices.
To fix this, use a specific update flag for detecting and notifying that
transformations were modified.

The crash is caused by an out of bound access in the kernel due to
missing data update when a Volume's voxel data changes. Although the
previous bounding mesh is cleared, the Volume Node was not tagged as
modified, and therefore never rebuilt.
To fix this, tag the Geometries (not just Volumes, to be more robust) as
modified in Geometry.clear().

This patch adds the ability to mute individual wires in the node editor.
This is invoked like the cut links operator but with a new shortcut.
Mute = Ctrl + Alt
Cut = Ctrl
Dragging over wires will toggle the mute state for that wire.
The muted wires are drawn in red with a bar across the center.
Red is used in the nodes context to indicate invalid links, muted links and internal links.
When a wire is muted it exposes the original node buttons which are normally hidden when a wire is connected.
Downstream and upstream links connected using reroute nodes are also muted.
Outside scope of patch:
- Add support for pynodes e.g. Animation Nodes
- Requires minor change to check for muted links using the `is_muted` link property or the `is_linked` socket property.

This is an implementation that is about 1.5-2.1 times faster. It gives a result
that is on average 6° different from the old implementation. The difference is
because normals (Ng, N, N') are not selected to be coplanar, but instead
reflection R is lifted the least amount and the N' is computed as a bisector.

Static initialization order was not guaranteed to be correct for node base
types. Now wrap all initialization in accessor functions to ensure the order
is correct.
Did not cause any known bug on Linux/macOS/Windows, but showed up on this
platform.
This type, CacheLookupResult, holds the data for the current time, or an
explanation as to why no data is available (already loaded, or simply
nothing available). This is useful to document the behavior of the code
but also, in future changes, to respond appropriately for missing data.
Inside of the procedural, instances are AlembicObjects which point to
the AlembicObject that they instance.
In Alembic, an instance is an untyped Object pointing to the original
(instanced) one through its source path. During the archive traversal we
detect such instances and, only if the instanced object is asked to be
rendered, set the instance's AlembicObject to point to the original's
AlembicObject.
Cycles Object Nodes are created for each AlembicObject, but only for
non-instances are Geometries created, which are then shared between
Object Nodes. It is supposed, and expected, that all instances share the
same shaders, which will be set to be the ones found on the original
object.
As for caching, the data cache for an AlembicObject is only valid for
non-instances and should not be read to or from as it is implicitly
shared.
This will help support instancing as cache building is now decoupled
from the logic to update the Nodes' sockets as data (and cache) will
need to be shared by different Geometries somehow, and also simplify
implementing different data caching methods by centralizing this
operation.
We need to explicitely tag the Attribute and AttributeSet as modified if
we change or add/remove data. This is more of a bandaid until attributes
handling is refactored to be able to reuse routines from the Attribute
API.
This patch changes the `MEM_DEVICE_ONLY` type to only allocate on the device and fail if
that is not possible anymore because out-of-memory (since OptiX acceleration structures may
not be allocated in host memory). It also fixes high peak memory usage during OptiX
acceleration structure building.

The Blender/Cycles XYZ color space has a D65 white point instead of E, and
this was not correctly accounted for both in the OpenColor config reading code
and the bundled config.
This meant that since the OpenColorIO v2 upgrade, the Linear ACES color space
was not working correctly, and other OpenColorIO configs defining
aces_interchange were not interpreted correctly.
Something in this update broke the floor() function in CUDA, instead use
floorf() like we do everywhere else in the kernel code. Thanks to Ray
Molenkamp for identifying the solution.
The missing update has two sources:
The TimeSampling used for looking up transformations in the cache was
uninitialized. To fix this, simply use the TimeSampling from the last
transformation in the hierarchy (that is the object's parent), which
should also contain the time information for all of its parents.
The objects are not tagged for update when their trasformations change.
Before this change messages of ERROR and above were printed.
This change makes it so LOG(INFO), LOG(WARNING), LOG(ERROR)
and LOG(FATAL) will be printed to the console by default
(without --debug-libmv and --debug-cycles).
On a user level nothing is changed because neither INFO nor
WARNING severity are used in our codebase. For developers this
change allows to use LOG(INFO) to print relevant for debugging
information. Bering able to see WARNING messages is also nice,
since those are not related to debugging, but are about some
detected "bad" state.
After this change the LOG(INFO) is really treated as a printf.
Why not to use printf to begin with? Because it is often more
annoying to print non-scalar types. Why not to use cout? Just
a convenience, so that all type of logging is handled in the
same way. When one is familiar with Glog used in the area, it
is easy to use same utilities during development. Also, it is
easy to change LOG(INFO) to VLOG(2) when development is done
and one wants to keep the log print but make it only appear
when using special verbosity flags.
The initial reason why default severity was set to maximum
possible value is because of misuse of VLOG with verbosity
level 0, which is the same as LOG(INFO). This is also why
back in the days --debug-libmv was introduced.
Now there is some redundancy between --debug-libmv, --debug-cyles
and --verbose, but changes in their meaning will cause user
level side effects.

-OSL Update to 1.11.10.0
-refactor the llvm/clang/clang-tools-extra builds into the llvm
build using the llvm-project tarball for building that has all
of the subprojects in it.
-update ispc/openmp builds since clang no longer its own dependency
and they have to depend on the llvm build now.
-Update the windows builder to use the 64 bit host tools since it
ran out of ram linking clang
-Since OSL now needs clang to link successfully a findclang.cmake

There are cases where the default input passes of color+albedo do not yield useful results
and while this was possible to change that for final frame rendering (in the layer settings),
viewport denoising always used a fixed color+albedo. This adds an option to change the
input passes for viewport denoising too, so that one can use it in scenes that otherwise
wouldn't work well with it.
