This save a little memory and copying in the kernel by storing only a 4x3
matrix instead of a 4x4 matrix. We already did this in a few places, and
those don't need to be special exceptions anymore now.
This brings separate initialization for libcuda and libnvrtc, which
fixes Cycles nvrtc compilation not working on build machines without
CUDA hardware available.

nvcc is very picky regarding compiler versions, severely limiting the compiler we can use, this commit adds a nvrtc based compiler that'll allow us to build the cubins even if the host compiler is unsupported. for details see D2913.

There was some changes about namespaces, which causes ambiguities.
Replaces using namespace with an explicit symbols we need. Is good idea to NOT
pull in the whole namespace anyway!
Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

It is disabled by default, so should not affect existing configurations.
Main benefits of this goes as:
- Linux distros can use that to avoid libraries duplication and link
blender package against gflags package from the system.
- It it easier to test whether Blender works with updated version of
Gflags prior to re-bundling the library.
The Progress system in Cycles had two limitations so far:
- It just counted tiles, but ignored their size. For example, when rendering a 600x500 image with 512x512 tiles, the right 88x500 tile would count for 50% of the progress, although it only covers 15% of the image.
- Scene update time was incorrectly counted as rendering time - therefore, the remaining time started very long and gradually decreased.
This patch fixes both problems:
First of all, the Progress now has a function to ignore time spans, and that is used to ignore scene update time.
The larger change is the tile size: Instead of counting samples per tile, so that the final value is num_samples*num_tiles, the code now counts every sample for every pixel, so that the final value is num_samples*num_pixels.
Along with that, some unused variables were removed from the Progress and Session classes.

Changes from microdisplacement work broke previous support for subdivision
meshes, sometimes leading to crashes; this makes things work again. Files
that contain "patch" nodes will need to be updated to use meshes instead, as
specifying patches was both inefficient and completely unsupported by the new
subdivision code.
Since the optimal values depend on the device used, this option doesn't make much sense in the XML.
Therefore, it's now specified via the command line, just like the device itself.
This adds support for ngons and attributes on subdivision meshes. Ngons are
needed for proper attribute interpolation as well as correct Catmull-Clark
subdivision. Several changes are made to achieve this:
- new primitive `SubdFace` added to `Mesh`
- 3 more textures are used to store info on patches from subd meshes
- Blender export uses loop interface instead of tessface for subd meshes
- `Attribute` class is updated with a simplified way to pass primitive counts
around and to support ngons.
- extra points for ngons are generated for O(1) attribute interpolation
- curves are temporally disabled on subd meshes to avoid various bugs with
implementation
- old unneeded code is removed from `subd/`
- various fixes and improvements

- add_vertex() can be called from split_vertex() which does not guarantee
to have properly pre-allocate arrays.
- Need to check whether Cycles is compiled with OSL in XML reader.
In Cycle standalone, the xml import of uv's is done in a way that
a vertex could only have one unique uv coordinate. In practice it
is most of the time not the case.
Patch by Laurent Boiron, thanks!
