This commit contains all the changes required for most optimal maximum threads
number bump. This is needed to avoid possibly unneeded initialization or data
allocation on systems with lower threads count.
TODO: Still need to review arrays in render data structures from render_types.h,
P.S. We might remove actual bump of max threads from this patch, so when we'll
be applying the patch we can do all the preparation work and then do actual
bump of max threads.

This patch fixes shortcoming of D2046.
The original behavior without world_space_shading flag is that Texture node expects the reflected vector in view space. But with world_space_shading it should be in world space.
In attached file you will see a simple material setup and a node material analogue.
Simple material must have the same behavior regardless world_space_shading flag.

This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Quite trivial idea -- just pass tread ID to the texture sampling function.
Implemented as a TLS to avoid passing huge amount of extra contexts around.
Should be working on all platforms, but compilation test is required.

The issue was caused by some code accessing R from a functions which
are marked as safe for use from outside of render pipeline.
Now those functions are safe(er) for use.
Still not ideal but getting closer. Main annoying thing so far is
dependency of Render structure for now. It is used to switch particles
to render mode and could probably also be eliminated.
The issue was caused by the conflict between preview render which would set
R_NO_IMAGE_LOAD flag on the renderer and texture samplers called outside of
the render pipeline trying to use this flag.
Now the sampler functions accepts extra argument so render pipeline can
still skip image load, but calls outside of the pipeline will nicely load
all the images.
Not cleanest change in the world but good enough to unlock gooseberry team,
and assuming we already had pool passed all over the place it should be all
fine.
Will need to reshuffle arguments into SamplerOptions structure later.
Noise function's significant bits are up to 31st bit. This should now
give the same visual result as before, minus the stripes.
Issue pointed out by Anthony Edlin, thanks!
Two fixes here (only the second one is strictly needed to fix the issue,
but both make the system better).
First is introduction of a random generator array for use with threaded
systems where each thread needs to access its own number generator.
The random texture now uses this so it should not be influenced by other
random generator reseedings of the main random generator like it did
before.
Second, I reshuffled the texture code to resample the upper bits of the
random number first. According to Numerical Recipes, this is where the
most variance can be found, so by sampling those we avoid correlation
issues. Also, multiplying here is not ideal because if a pair of bits
are zero, then the whole result will also be zero.
Overall this is much more random (tm) than before, however result will
also be brighter, since we now have less black spots. Tweaking the
brightness/contrast should somewhat fix that, generally having the same
result as before is not possible anyway if we are to really fix this.
Also, seems like exposing procedural depth might be nice here since it
influences the precision of the texture lookup.
The formula was not consistent across Blender and behaved strangely, now it is
a simple linear blend between color1 and min(color1, color2).

This was in fact really nasty bug, caused by multitex_nodes
function using global variable R (which is a copy of current
renderer). this variable is not initialized to anything
meaningful for until first rendering (preview or final)
happened.
Since multitex_nodes might be used outside of render pipeline,
made it so whether CM is on or off as an argument to functions
multitex_ext_safe and multitex_ext. Now multitex_nodes() is
only shall be used for stuff happening from render pipeline!
Also needed to make some changes to other places, so all the
usages of texture sampling knows for the fact whether CM is
on or off.
And one more change is related on behavior of dispalcement,
wave, warp, weightvg modifiers and smoke. They'll be always
using CM off since texture is used for influence, not for
color.
It's rather bigger patch, but it's mostly straightforward
changes, which we really need to be done.
