This patch will reduce the number of times that we need to
recompile kernels. It does this by (en/dis)abling features
by default. So when the user needs them that the kernels are
already available.
Other features are enabled by default for background and foreground
rendering. When in background rendering the user wants the best
render performance. When in foreground rendering the user wants
the least amount of recompilations.
Enabling volumetrics or subdivision evaluation will still trigger
a recompilation during foreground rendering.

Float2 are now a new type for attributes in Cycles. Before, the choices
for attribute storage were float and float3, the latter padded to
float4. This meant that UV maps were inflated to twice the size
necessary.

Displacement and Background kernels are selectively used, but always compiled. This patch will not compile these kernels when they are not needed.
Displacement kernel is only used for true displacement.
Background kernel is only used when there is a (Cycles)Light of type `LIGHT_BACKGROUND`.

When using preview rendering through a camera or final rendering
the `scene.render.use_motion_blur` was not respected when building
the compile directives.
This patch will when building the compile directives check if
motion blur is enabled at all. This should lead to more efficient
kernels when no motion blur is needed.

For OIIO 2.x we must use unique_ptr. This also required updating the
guarded allocator for std::move to work. Since C++11 construct/destroy
have a default implementation that also works this case, so we just
leave it out.
This adds a cycles.denoise_animation operator, which denoises an animation
sequence or individual file. Renders must be saved as multilayer EXR files
with denoising data passes.
By default file path and frame range come from the current scene, and EXR
files are denoised in-place. Alternatively, a different input and/or output
file path can be provided.
Denoising settings come from the current view layer. Renders can be denoised
again with different settings, as the original noisy image is preserved along
with other passes and metadata.
There is no user interface yet for this feature, that comes later.

Prefiltering of feature passes will happen during rendering, which can
then be used for denoising immediately or written as a render pass for
later (animation) denoising.
The number of denoising data passes written is reduced because of this,
leaving out the feature variance passes. The passes are now Normal,
Albedo, Depth, Shadowing, Variance and Intensity.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

The integrator maximum number of closures was not set properly for the CPU/mega
kernels to match the actual available memory. Before relatively recent code
refactoring we did not use this value in those kernels so it worked fine.
There are some changes in API of OpenImageIO, but those are quite
simple to keep working with older and newer library versions.
