Commit rB7e61e597253f3ca75f2fb86a57212ca750ffbbe8 broke viewport rendering when not displaying as halfs.
This fixes that by actually using the `scale` parameter that is passed into `film_map` and also de-duplicates code around it.

OptiX always uses record-all behavior for transparent shadow rays, but did not check
whether the maximum number of hits exceeded the shadow hit stack. This fixes that.
transform_direction() can't handle parameters in constant address space.
Creating a local copy of the parameter satisfies the OpenCL compiler.
CUDA and CPU compilers should be able to optimize this away I hope.
This patch adds support for the OptiX denoiser as an alternative to the existing NLM denoiser in Cycles. It's re-using the same denoising architecture based on tiles and therefore implicitly also works with multiple GPUs.

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images
Thanks to Brecht for the review and to all who tested the intermediate versions!

With upcoming light group passes, for them to sum up correctly to the combined
pass the clamping must be more fine grained.
This also has the advantage that if one light is particularly noisy, it does
not diminish the contribution from other lights which do not need as much
clamping.
Clamp values on existing scenes will need to be tweaked to get similar results,
there is no automatic conversion possible which would give the same results as
before.
Implemented by Lukas, with tweaks by Brecht.
Part of D4837
Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.

This adds compaction support for OptiX acceleration structures, which reduces the device memory footprint in a post step after building. Depending on the scene this can reduce the amount of used device memory quite a bit and even improve performance (smaller acceleration structure improves cache usage). It's only enabled for background renders to make acceleration structure builds fast in viewport.
Also fixes a bug in the memory management for OptiX acceleration structures: These were held in a dynamic vector of 'device_memory' instances and used the mem_alloc/mem_free functions. However, those keep track of memory instances in the 'cuda_mem_map' via pointers to 'device_memory' (which works fine everywhere else since those are never copied/moved). But in the case of the vector, it may decide to reallocate at some point, which invalidates those pointers and would result in some nasty accesses to invalid memory. So it is not actually safe to move a 'device_memory' object and therefore this removes the move operator overloads again.

Previously Noise and Wave texture nodes would use noise functions within a [0,1]
range for distortion effects. We either add or subtract noise from coordinates,
never do both at same time. This led to the texture drastically shifting on the
diagonal axis of a plane / cube. This behavior makes the Distortion input hard
to control or animate. Capabilities of driving it with other texture are also
limited, diagonal shifting is very apparent.
This was fixed by offsetting the noise function to a signed range and making it
zero-centered. This way noise is uniformly added and subtracted from coordinates.
Texture pattern sticks to main coordinates which makes it way easier to control.
This change is not strictly backwards compatible, there is versioning to ensure
the scale of the distortion remains similar, but the particular pattern can be
a little different.

When creating shaders and using maths functions it is expected that Blender should match functions in other DCC applications, game engines and shading languages such as GLSL and OSL.
This patch adds missing functions to the Blender maths node.
Ideally, it would be nice to have these functions available to vectors too but that is not part of this patch.
This patch adds the following functions trunc, snap, wrap, compare, pingpong, sign, radians, degrees, cosh, sinh, tanh, exp, smoothmin and inversesqrt.
Sign function is based on GLSL and OSL functions and returns zero when x == 0.

The Principled BSDF uses Microfacet closures that include a fresnel term,
which are a special case since their weight tends to be near white even
if their average contribution is fairly low.
The sample weight is scaled by the average fresnel weight to account for
this, but the denoising albedo still used the unscaled weight.
This was fine for the original denoiser, but apparently OIDN can't handle
the resulting albedo pass well. Therefore, this commit adds the described
scaling to the albedo pass contribution as well.
This problem was described in T69770.

The OptiX intersection program for curves uses "optixGetObjectRayDirection"
to get the ray direction in object space (which was inverse transformed
with the current transformation matrix). OptiX does no additional operations
on it, so if there is a scaling transform, the direction is not normalized.
But the curve intersection routine expects that. In addition, the distances
used in "optixGetRayTmax()" and "optixReportIntersection()" are in world
space, so need to adjust them accordingly.
When using OpenCL with Cycles the rendering time increased substantial.
After doing some tests the bottleneck was found in 4d voronoi and 2d and
3d smooth voronoi.
This change will hide these behind a specific compile directive so the
speed will improve.

Cycles casts a pointer from ShaderDataTinyStorage to ShaderData, these structs by default had different alignments however (the former was 1-byte aligned, the latter 16-byte). This caused undefined behavior on at least the CUDA platform. Forcing both structs to use the same alignment fixes this.
CUDA toolkits newer than 10.1 run into this because of a compiler optimization.

Small memory reduction change by only storing the pixels of the combined
pass when it is being shown in the viewport. Previously the combined pass
was always calculated and present in the output buffer. The combined pass
will still be calculated.
It is a limitation in Blender that Cycles always had a combined pass.
This patch will remove the limitation from the code base of Cycles.
Blender still has the limitation, but will always request the combined
renderpass when doing final rendering.

This patch allows the Voronoi node to operate in 1D, 2D, and 4D space.
It also adds a Randomness input to control the randomness of the texture.
Additionally, it adds three new modes of operation:
- Smooth F1: A smooth version of F1 Voronoi with no discontinuities.
- Distance To Edge: Returns the distance to the edges of the cells.
- N-Sphere Radius: Returns the radius of the n-sphere inscribed in
the cells. In other words, it is half the distance between the
closest feature point and the feature point closest to it.
And it removes the following three modes of operation:
- F3.
- F4.
- Cracks.
The Distance metric is now called Euclidean, and it computes the actual
euclidean distance as opposed to the old method of computing the squared
euclidean distance.
This breaks backward compatibility in many ways, including the base case.

This change allows the user to select a renderpass in the 3d viewport.
Added support for external renderers to extend the `View3DShading` struct.
This way Blender doesn't need to know the features an external render engine wants to support.
Note that the View3DShading is also available in the scene->display.shading; although this is
supported, it does not make sense for render engines to put something here as it is really
scene/workbench related.
Currently cycles assumes that it always needs to calculate the combined pass; it ignores the
`pass_flag` in KernelFilm. We could optimize this but that was not in scope of this change
