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.

sycl::info::device::ext_intel_* descriptors are deprecated,
replaced with sycl::ext::intel::info::device:: that are available from
6.0+, for which we now check version in CMake.
JIT compilation of oneAPI kernels now happens during load stage
and proper message gets shown in the GUI during compilation.
Also, this implementation skips kernels that aren't needed for
the used scene, reducing overall (re)compilation time.
This is a minimal set of changes, allowing a lot of cleanup that can
happen afterward as it allows sycl method and objects to be used outside
of kernel.cpp.

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.

Additionally, just stick to a pure error stating. Such messages
are aimed for developers and it is rather implied that oneAPI
rendering will be disabled.
The number of Execution Units and resident "threads" (simd width * threads
per EUs) are now exposed and used to select the number of states using
a simplified heuristic.
This patch adds a new Cycles device with similar functionality to the
existing GPU devices. Kernel compilation and runtime interaction happen
via oneAPI DPC++ compiler and SYCL API.
This implementation is primarly focusing on Intel® Arc™ GPUs and other
future Intel GPUs. The first supported drivers are 101.1660 on Windows
and 22.10.22597 on Linux.
The necessary tools for compilation are:
- A SYCL compiler such as oneAPI DPC++ compiler or
https://github.com/intel/llvm
- Intel® oneAPI Level Zero which is used for low level device queries:
https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero
- To optionally generate prebuilt graphics binaries: Intel® Graphics
Compiler All are included in Linux precompiled libraries on svn:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib The same goes for
Windows precompiled binaries but for the graphics compiler, available
as "Intel® Graphics Offline Compiler for OpenCL™ Code" from
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html,
for which path can be set as OCLOC_INSTALL_DIR.
Being based on the open SYCL standard, this implementation could also be
extended to run on other compatible non-Intel hardware in the future.
