Was caused by numeric overflow when calculating preview dimensions.
Now we try to avoid really insance preview resolutions by fitting
aspect into square.
The branching introduced by the uniform caused problems on mesa + AMD in the resolve stage.
This patch create one shader per sample count without branching.
This improves performance of a single ray per pixel case (3.0ms against 3.6ms in my testing)
The issue was caused by operator redo which frees all object's evaluated data,
including bounding box. This bounding box can not be reconstructed properly
without full curve evaluation (need to at least convert font to nurbs, which is
not cheap already).
There is absolute no reason to have such an indentation level, it only causes
readability and maintainability issues. It is really simple to make code more
"streamlined".
This was cause by a fairly funky unitialize buffer (last frame) that was causing NANs during the SSR resolve stage.
They were then propagated to the whole image during the next swap.
Bypassing the SSR completly if no valid history exists fixes the problem. Also disabling SSR data output in this case so we can have correct reflection in the 1st history buffer.
Rather than treating all ray types equally, we now always render 1 glossy
bounce and unlimited transmission bounces. This makes it possible to get
good looking results with low AO bounces settings, making it useful to
speed up interior renders for example.

You can now use a transparent shader as a completly transparent bsdf. And use whatever alpha mask in a mix shader between a transparent bsdf and another bsdf.
In fact, any type of baking might have caused holes in mesh.
The issue was caused by zspan_scanconvert() attempting to get order of traversal
'a-priori', which might have failed if check happens at the "tip" of span where
`zspan->span1[sn1] == zspan->span2[sn1]`.
Didn't see anything bad on making it a check when iterating over scanlines and
pick minimal span based on current scanline. It's slower, but unlikely to cause
measurable difference. Quality should stay the same unless i'm missing something.

Previously we used a 1D sequence to select a light, and another 2D sequence
to sample a point on the light. For multiple lights this meant each light
would get a random subset of a 2D stratified sequence, which is not
guaranteed to be stratified anymore.
Now we use only a 2D sequence, split into segments along the X axis, one for
each light. The samples that fall within a segment then each are a stratified
sequence, at least in the limit. So for example for two lights, we split up
the unit square into two segments [0,0.5[ x [0,1[ and [0.5,1[ x [0,1[.
This doesn't make much difference in most scenes, mainly helps if you have a
few large area lights or some types of HDR backgrounds.
This causes render differences in some scenes, for example fishy_cat
and pabellon scenes render brighter in a few spots. This is an old
bug, not due to recent RR changes.
This is in order to use the same texture on multiple sampler.
Also texture counter is reset after each shading group. This mimics the previous behaviour.
Just using same code for distribution for face/volume as the one
changed/used for vertices since some months.
Note that this change is breacking compatibility, in that distribution
of particles over faces/volume may not be exactly the same as
previously.
