The `ZDepth` output of the camera data node was different between SVM
and OSL.
SVM would output the `ZDepth`, with negative distances for points
behind the camera. While OSL would output the absolute of the distance,
which resulted in points behind the camera becoming positive.
Align OSL to SVM and allow outputting the negative distance as it
allows users to differentiate between what's in front or behind the
camera.

The Texture Coordinate node has a "Object" output that can be
derived from the object being sampled, or a reference object.
With Cycles OSL, the "Object" output of the Texture Coordinate
would not use the reference object if one was active, and the
node was used on a world shader.
This commit fixes this issue.

The output normals of the Texture Coordinate node when using the OSL
backend were not normalized, leading to incorrect values in
some situations.
This commit fixes this issue by normalizing the normals in this situation.

Based on #123377 by @brecht, but Gitea doesn't like the rebase these
so here's a new PR.
The purpose here is to switch to fused OptiX programs for OSL execution
on CUDA. On the one hand, this makes the code easier since, but there's
also another advantage - how memory allocation is managed.
OSL shaders need memory to store intermediate values, but how much is
needed depends on the complexity of the shader. With the split program
approach, Cycles had to provide that memory, so we had to allocate a
certain amount (2 KiB, to be precise) statically and show an error if
the shader would need more. If the shader used less (which is the case
for the vast majority), the memory was just wasted.
By switching to fused kernels, OSL knows the required amount during JIT
codegen, so it can allocate only what's required, which avoids this
waste. One still needs to set a maximum, and in theory, OSL would also
support spilling over into a Cycles-provided alternative memory region.
However, we currently don't implement that - instead, we default to the
same 2048 limit as before and let advanced users override it via the
CYCLES_OSL_GROUPDATA_ALLOC environment variable if really needed.

All the OSL matrix functions had been implemented using the
`Transform` utility of Cycles, but that's built around a 4x3 matrix,
when the OSL matrix functions are working with 4x4 matrices.
This resulted in them not producing results consistent with the
CPU implementation.
This fixes that by making use of the `ProjectionTransform` utility
of Cycles instead, because it's built around a 4x4 matrix. Since
matrix inversion is required, I had to make a few more utility
functions available on the GPU (except Metal, due to use of
references/pointers without specification) that were previously
CPU-only.

Previously, Cycles only supported the Henyey-Greenstein phase function for volume scattering.
While HG is flexible and works for a wide range of effects, sometimes a more physically accurate
phase function may be needed for realism.
Therefore, this adds three new phase functions to the code:
Rayleigh: For particles with a size below the wavelength of light, mostly athmospheric scattering.
Fournier-Forand: For realistic underwater scattering.
Draine: Fairly specific on its own (mostly for interstellar dust), but useful for the next entry.
Mie: Approximates Mie scattering in water droplets using a mix of Draine and HG phase functions.
These phase functions can be combined using Mix nodes as usual.

Add Metallic BSDF Node to the shader editor.
This node can primarily be used to create more realistic looking
metallic materials than the existing Glossy BSDF node.
This commit does not add any new closures to Cycles, it simply exposes
existing closures that were previous hard to access on their own.
- Exposes the F82 fresnel type that is currently used by the
metallic component of the Principled BSDF. Results should match
between the Metallic BSDF and Principled BSDF when using the same
settings.
- Exposes the Physical Conductor fresnel type that was previously
limited to custom OSL scripts. The Conductor fresnel type accepts
IOR and Extinction coefficients to define the appearance of the
material based off real life measurements.
EEVEE only supports the F82 fresnel type with internal code to convert
the the physical conductor inputs in to a colour format for F82,
which can lead to noticeable rendering differences with
some configurations.

This patch improves the isotropic Gabor noise UI controls such that
variations happen in both directions of the base orientation, as opposed
to being biased in the positive direction only.
Thanks to Charlie Jolly for suggesting this improvement.
This patch optimizes the Gabor noise standard deviation estimation by
computing the upper limit of the integral as the frequency approaches
infinity, since the integral is mostly constant for the relevant
frequency range. The limits are 0.25 for the 2D case and 1 / 4 * sqrt2
for the 3D case.
This also improves normalization for low frequencies, possibly due to
the effect of windowing.
Thanks to Charlie Jolly for spotting the optimization.
Optimize the Gabor noise texture code with an early exit for points that
are further away from the kernel center. This was already done for the
kernel, but is now being done earlier before computing the weight, so
its computation is now skipped.
Thanks to Charlie Jolly for the suggestion.
After e3697710d0, if no UV map was found, then Cycles OSL would
generate UV coordinates for users. This was done to add UV coordinates
to lights, however it had the side effect of creating new UV
coordinates for other object types that don't have a UV map.
This lead to a rendering difference between OSL and SVM
when rendering meshes with no UV map, and objects with no
UV map, like curves.
This commit fixes this issue by adding a new "is_light" attribute to
Cycles OSL and using that to figure out if UV coordinates should be
generated for lights.

The motivation is to be able to catch issues like #124705 early on,
by relying on asserts.
The not-so-obvious part of the change is the change in the order of
includes, which is needed for the types.h to have definition of the
kernel_assert().

when computing coefficients in volume, the volume density of the object
at the top of the stack is used, which leads to wrong result if
overlapping volumes have different scales.

The Oren Nayer diffuse BSDF had a energy compensation term added in a
recent commit[1]. This energy compensation term used the colour input
in it's computation. The colour input was clamped in SVM, but not OSL,
resulting in differences between the two backends. This commit resolves
this issue by clamping the colour in the OSL script to match SVM.

This patch implements a new Gabor noise node based on [1] but with the
improvements from [2] and the phasor formulation from [3].
We compare with the most popular existing implementation, that of OSL,
from the user's point of view:
- This implementation produces C1 continuous noise as opposed to the
non continuous OSL implementation, so it can be used for bump
mapping and is generally smother. This is achieved by windowing the
Gabor kernel using a Hann window.
- The Bandwidth input of OSL was hard-coded to 1 and was replaced with
a frequency input, which OSL hard codes to 2, since frequency is
more natural to control. This is even more true now that that Gabor
kernel is windowed as opposed to truncated, which means increasing
the bandwidth will just turn the Gaussian component of the Gabor
into a Hann window. While decreasing the bandwidth will eliminate
the harmonic from the Gabor kernel, which is the point of Gabor
noise.
- OSL had three discrete modes of operation for orienting the kernel.
Anisotropic, Isotropic, and a hybrid mode. While this implementation
provides a continuous Anisotropy parameter which users are already
familiar with from the Glossy BSDF node.
- This implementation provides not just the Gabor noise value, but
also its phase and intensity components. The Gabor noise value is
basically sin(phase) * intensity, but the phase is arguably more
useful since it does not suffer from the low contrast issues that
Gabor suffers from. While the intensity is useful to hide the
singularities in the phase.
- This implementation converges faster that OSL's relative to the
impulse count, so we fix the impulses count to 8 for simplicitly.
- This implementation does not implement anisotropic filtering.
Future improvements to the node includes implementing surface noise and
filtering. As well as extending the spectral control of the noise,
either by providing specialized kernels as was done in #110802, or by
providing some more procedural control over the frequencies of the
Gabor.

This multiscattering term comes from the OpenPBR specification and nicely
preserves energy while correctly modeling increased saturation at high
roughness.
Preparation for adding a diffuse roughness option to the Principled BSDF.
To me, the difference in output and computation seems small enough to
not need an enum for the old behavior.
Note that this also switches sampling to cosine-weighted, in my tests this
gives lower noise. I also checked doing MIS between cosine and uniform,
using the A term as a weight for how often to use cosine (since that term
is Lambertian diffuse), but always using cosine was better.
A nice consequence of that is that you don't get a huge noise jump when
going from 0.0 to 0.01 roughness.

One of the properties of Perlin noise is that it always evaluates to 0.0
when not normalized (or 0.5 when normalized) when the input consists of
only whole integers in all vector components.
Blender's Perlin noise implementation uses single precision floats with
a machine epsilon of 1.19e-07 meaning that for numbers that are greater
than 1/(1.19e-07) = 8.40e6 there mantissa doesn't have any bits left to
store a rational part of the number, effectively meaning that any number
greater than 8.40e6 is a whole integer as far as Blender is concerned.
Therefore when evaluating Perlin noise for any coordinates greater than
that it always results in 0.0 (or 0.5 when normalized).
This fix works as follows: If the original input number is larger than
1.0e6 it is offset by 0.5 after it underwent modulo, which always outputs
numbers in a [0.0, 1.0e5) range leaving the mantissa room for a rational
part. This way the quantization error still persists however the outputs
are random again instead of a constant 0.0.
