The wrong guiding distribution was used when direct and indirect light
scattering happened at different locations. Now use a different distribution
for each location.
Recording is not quite correct since OpenPGL does not support spliting the
path like this, instead recording at the start of the volume ray. In practice
this seems to make little difference.

Commit c8dd33f5a37b6a6db0b6950d24f9a7cff5ceb799 in OSL changed behavior of
parameters that reference each other and are also overwritten with an
instance value. This is causing the "NormalIn" parameter of a few OSL nodes
in Cycles to be set to zero somehow, which should instead have received the
value from a "node_geometry" node Cycles generates and connects automatically.
I am not entirely sure why that is happening, but these parameters are
superfluous anyway, since OSL already provides the necessary data in the
global variable "N". So this patch simply removes those parameters (which
mimics SVM, where these parameters do not exist either), which also fixes
the rendering artifacts that occured with recent OSL.
While this fixes built-in shader nodes, custom OSL scripts can still have
this problem.

For some pixels with transparent surfaces, no depth value would be written
when sampling chooses a reflection/refraction BSDF instead of transparent
BSDF. Now ensure we always write at some some depth value to the pass.
This is still not ideal as the resulting depth values are noisy same as they
are for depth of field and motion blur, but at least there should be no gaps.
This was previously needed due to poor compatibility between Visual Studio and
NVCC. But it has not been used for a while now as compatibility seems to have
improved.
Render time is reduced for overexposed scenes, by taking into account absolute
light intensity for adaptive sampling.
This can negatively affect some scenes where compositing or color management
are used to make the scene much darker or lighter. For best results adjust the
Film > Exposure setting to bring the intensity into a good range, and then do
further compositing and color management on top of that. Note that this setting
is different than color management exposure.
Previously Cycles' adaptive sampling used sqrt(I) to normalize noise level to
conform to a viewer's eye sensitivity. It is great for darker regions of the
image, but also requests too much samples in bright regions, sometimes several
times more than needed. Highlights can tolerate more noise because in most
examples it is still less noticeable then the noise in darker areas in the same
render.

The OSL GPU services implementation of "osl_get_matrix" and
"osl_get_inverse_matrix" was missing support for the "common",
"shader" and "object" matrices and thus any matrix operations in OSL
shaders using these would not work. This patch adds the proper
implementation copied from the OSL CPU services.

This patch generalizes the OSL support in Cycles to include GPU
device types and adds an implementation for that in the OptiX
device. There are some caveats still, including simplified texturing
due to lack of OIIO on the GPU and a few missing OSL intrinsics.
Note that this is incomplete and missing an update to the OSL
library before being enabled! The implementation is already
committed now to simplify further development.

The distinction existed for legacy reasons, to easily port of Embree
intersection code without affecting the main vector types. However we are now
using SIMD for these types as well, so no good reason to keep the distinction.
Also more consistently pass these vector types by value in inline functions.
Previously it was partially changed for functions used by Metal to avoid having
to add address space qualifiers, simple to do it everywhere.
Also removes function declarations for vector math headers, serves no real
purpose.

Buildbot infrastructure relies on the fact that it can enable and
disable `WITH_CYCLES_<COMPUTE>_BINARIES` without affecting speed of
incremental builds. This allows buildbot to skip GPU kernels when
doing CI regression tests which do not need GPU kernels, as well as
it allows to move GPU kernels compilation to a separate step where
all the resources are available to the GPU kernel builders.
For the oneAPI compute enabling and disabling AoT kernels has much
higher implications due to the kernels being a part of the device
implementation from the build target perspective.
This change makes it so different target names are used for JIT and
AoT configurations, which allows CMake to more fully benefit from
"caching" the compiled result.
The end goal of this change is to make it so sequential build of the
same code base on the buildbot happens super fast,
Blender binary still needs to be re-linked when the AOT of oneAPI
option is toggled, but that's already the case in the buildbot due
to the WITH_BUILDINFO.

Previously, a first build using ninja would throw "ninja: error:

MSVC Tools version doesn't match MSVC Redist version on some systems and
it's not populated when using Ninja outside of Visual Studio shell,
trying another way.
Test kernel will now test functionalities related to kernel execution
with USM memory allocations instead of with SYCL buffers and accessors
as these aren't currently used in the backend.
This change removes CMake code for automatic calculation of the number
of offline device compiler instances, to hand over control to developers
instead as it incurs a rather large memory usage with around 8GB per
instance at peak.
Use SYCL_OFFLINE_COMPILER_PARALLEL_JOBS CMake variable to configure it.
This patch enables MNEE on macOS >= 13. There was an inefficiency in the calculation of spill requirements, fixed as of macOS 13. This patch also adds a temporary inlining workaround for a Metal compiler bug which causes `mnee_compute_constraint_derivatives` to behave incorrectly.

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.
It fixes SYCL runtime issues in Debug builds that were due to mixing
Release and Debug MSVC runtimes.
This commit also removes specific handling of dpcpp compiler executable
to simplify the CMake implementation. Using it like clang++ works and
clang++ executable is also available from Intel oneAPI DPC++ compiler in
case it doesn't.
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.

Changing volume parameters during rendering could cause a crash
when guiding was enabled. It was due to an unintialized state paramter
at the beginning of the path tracing process.
In addition guiding is disabled when dealing with almost delta volumes
(i.e., g close to 1.0 or -1.0).
This change speeds up the compilation at the cost of higher memory usage.
CMake implementation checks the amount of available memory to spawn a
reasonable number of parallel compiler jobs.
Previously it would bake viewed from above the surface. The new option can be
useful when the baked result is meant to be viewed from a fixed viewpoint or
with limited camera motion.
Some effort is made to give a continuous reflection on parts of the surface
invisible to the camera, but this is necessarily only a rough approximation.

This patch optimises the Metal inlining policy. It gives a small speedup (2-3% on M1 Max) with no notable compilation slowdown vs what is already in master. Previously noted compilation slowdowns (as reported in T100102) were caused by forcing inlining for `ccl_device`, but we get better rendering perf by relying on compiler heuristics in these cases.
