Change the implementation so it no longer takes over the mouse cursor motion
from the OS, instead only move it when warping, similar to Windows and X11.
Probably the reason it was not done this way originally is that you then get
a 500ms delay after warping, but we can use a trick to avoid that and get much
smoother mouse motion than before.
Tweaked the path radiance summing and alpha to accommodate for possible contribution of
light by transparent surface bounces happening prior to shadow catcher intersection.
This commit will change the way how shadow catcher results looks when was behind semi
transparent object, but the old result seemed to be fully wrong: there were big artifacts
when alpha-overing the result on some actual footage.
This is something which was reported to work fine by Mai, Benjamin and
confirmed by myself. Disabling this workaround gains us some speedup:

Test environment is:
- Ubuntu 16.04, with all updates installed
- AMD RX 480 GPU
- amdgpu pro driver version 17.10-450821
Unfortunately this means disabling the code that ensures the title
bar is properly scaled with DPI, however better to have that as a
cosmetic issue than Blender being unusable with a lot of Intel GPUs.
Some of the functions might have been inlined, but others i don't see
how that was possible (don't think virtual functions can be inlined here).
In any case, better be explicitly optimal in the code.
The problem here was that when a "invalid" path is generated by the panoramic camera, it was tagged
as RAY_TO_REGENERATE with the intention of generating a new path in kernel_buffer_update.
However, since that state was not handled in kernel_queue_enqueue, kernel_buffer_update did not
process the path which resulted in an infinite loop.
Now computers that support OpenGl3.3 (but not 4.5) can run Blender 2.8.
For any given HDC, you may only call SetPixelFormat *ONCE* any future
calls for the same HDC will fail. And computers that would support only
OpenGL 3.3 wouldn't have a change to get a valid OpenGL context because
the pixelformat was already set while trying to probe the supported
contexts.
We fix this by splitting the final context creation from the query of
supported OpenGL versions.
Patch by Ray Molenkamp (bzzt_ploink/LazyDodo) with code style fixes and
comments by me.
