Always enforce tiling of some size, up to the 8k tile size.
Rendering very big images without tiles have a lot of challenges.
While solving those challenges is not impossible, it does not seem to
be a practical time investment.
The internals of the way how Cycles work, including Cycles Standalone
is not affected by this change.
A possible downside is that path guiding might not work exactly how one
would expect it to due to lack of information sharing across multiple
tiles. This is something that never worked nicely, and camera animation
and border render has the same issues, so it is not considered a stopper
for this change.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
