Main improvements:
* Spatial structure (Kd-tree) build is now multithreaded.
* Kd-tree switched to use cache-friendlier TreeLets.
* Field fixed some non-deterministic behavior when spatial cache does
not receive any training data during a training iteration due to a
large number of training iterations.
* Fixed build problems on (non-Mac) ARM systems.

This was already the minimum requirement for Intel and Apple Silicon
GPUs. It is required for the Metal backend to work correctly.
Previously the minimum for AMD GPUs was 10.15.

Turns out we were not building OSL with OptiX enabled anymore.
Also check now if the OSL builds has OptiX support and if not
disable it in Cycles.
Building OSL with support for this (still) does not require
either the OptiX SDK or CUDA, it only needs LLVM.

- Commands which have arguments split over multiple lines use
indented lines.
- Wrap lines where multiple commands run using "&&".
- Blank lines between multiple commands helps the text from becoming
too dense.
This is not a hard requirement to be able to build the libraries, but
these versions should be written down somewhere. So compare compiler
versions as part of make deps setup.

Flex's bundled configure depended on aclocal-1.15 which has been
updated to 1.16.
Resolve by regenerating configure files on Linux which in turn adds a
new dependency on texinfo.

NOTE: Blender does not seem to build with older OpenImageIO versions
(2.4.x and before) anymore. Since this library is now mandatory, it
means that Blender cannot be built without using the pre-compiled libs
on most Debian system, currently.
Ref. #113157.
Since the addition of Meteor Lake binaries, prebuilt GPU binaries
are now stored as fatbinaries. When running on a platform for which
prebuilt binaries are lacking or considered incompatible, the DPC++
SYCL runtime caching logic failed storing the (re)compiled
compatible version. This patch to DPC++ SYCL runtime fixes it.

Add silently fail option to GPU based render tests. This is a pre-requisite to enable
render tests on the buildbot. By default these render tests will pass silently.
* Test will pass when using the `--pass-silently` arguments.
* Only crashes will be reported as failed tests.
* To find out failing test, review the test reports.
`WITH_GPU_RENDER_TESTS_SILENT` compile option can be used to let tests pass (default)
or fail (default for developers).
Although some tests fail, they still passed. In the generated render report,
the silently passed failures are correctly reported to be failures.

This change fixes confusion situation when the render output
is an RGBA image: the difference in color was not visible in
the report because alpha channel was all zeros. This is due
to idiff performing per-channel difference.
The solution to this problem is to have separate images for
color and alpha difference, which makes it clear where the
difference actually is coming from.
It's not clear what these are used for as they seem like recent
additions and are set to "NOT-FOUND" even when tiff/freetype are found.
Marking as advanced instead of removing so as not to interfere with
freetype/tiff finding logic.
Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor
Previous code was using the 'nuclear' SAN weapon `exitcode=0`, which
essentially makes testing ignore all sanitizer errors.
This commit removes this option, and instead uses the suppression
list from Blender source repository (`tools/config/analysis/lsan.supp`)
for the leak sanitizer.
It also enables the `allocator_may_return_null` for the address sanitizer.
This should only be needed for one test (the `guardedalloc` one), but for
now it is simpler to define it for all tests. This can be refined at a
later time.

Along with regular fixes and improvements,
this removes a warning on startup for Linux, see:
https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/issues/554
Some deprecated CMake variables were removed and needed to be renamed.
Note that the previous URL from http://openal-soft.org/
is no longer responsive, using the GITHUB URL instead.
