For animation/driver purposes, being able to go outside of the 0-360
range makes things easier.

Performance is not great currently due to the API not seeming to support
efficient denoising of multiple tiles at the same time. So in many cases
only one or a few threads will actually be denoising at the same time.
In renders with many samples this is not a big problem, but for faster
renders it's a signficant overhead.
We should try to optimize this still, possibly by batching denoising of
a bigger neighborhood of multiple tiles at once.
I'm not sure if the Sky was deliberately left out or was just waiting for a
better moment, but so many I was disappointed that Sky in EEVEE is
completely white.
There are already 2 implementations (osl and gpu) so this is the third one.
Looking at other cases it seems that we are not supposed to share sources
between cycles and the rest? So the new util_sky_model files are just
copies of what is already in cycles, except that the data file uses the RGB
variant of the Hosek/Wilkie model, because we output RGB anyway (but can be
easily changed to XYZ if desired - the results are nearly identical).
I am not sure if it is okay to pass 3*9 float values as 3 mat4 uniforms (I
wanted to use mat3 but it does not work).
Also, should I cache the sky model data between renders if the parameters
do not change?

The problem here was numerical precision: The code calculates the angle between
sun and view direction, and the usual acos(dot(a, b)) approach for that has
poor numerical performance for almost parallel angles.
As a result, the generally tiny difference between floating point computation
between CPU and GPU was enough to make the sun vanish at different radii,
causing different results.
The new version fixes the difference by making the computation much more robust
on both platforms.
This patch adds support for the curve primitive from OptiX to Cycles. It's currently hidden
behind a debug option, since there can be some slight rendering differences still (because no
backface culling is performed and something seems off with endcaps). The curve primitive
was added with the OptiX 7.1 SDK and requires a r450 driver or newer, so this also updates
the codebase to be able to build with the new SDK.

Don't apply the matrix transform optimization in this case, curve points and
radius can't represent non-uniform scale the way is possible with triangle
meshes and vertices.
This would cause abrupt change if objects had e.g. motion blur in one frame
and not in the next.
Denoising devices do not need to load the full feature set of kernels, so only activate the denoising
feature for them (so that it is possible to use features that are supported by the render devices, but
not the denoising devices).
For historical reasons, `DupliObject::persistent_id` was of size
`2*MAX_DUPLI_RECUR`. These reasons are now gone, and the persistent ID
always gets exactly one array element for every dupli-recursion.

Apply the workaround only for known problematic drivers. The latest pro driver
appears to work correctly, hopefully the regular driver will as well once it
is updated to the same OpenCL driver version (3075.13).
