This adds an option in the Volume Sampling panel, which helps rendering lamps
inside or near volumes with less noise. It can also increase noise though and
needs improvements to support MIS and heterogeneous volumes, but since it's
useful in some cases already (especially world volumes) it's there now.
Based on the code in the old branch by Stuart, with modifications by Thomas
and Brecht.

The pdInitEffectors function was amalgamating the simple
collection of effector objects with an automatic precalculation for
curve guides and the like. This precalculation requires object data
that may not be available until the DAG has finished.
Since for DAG dependencies only the list of effectors is required,
added an argument to disable precalculation when collecting effectors.
when in ortho mode, zoom would dolly rather then zooming which
doesn't make much sense, now check ortho and zoom in that case
(nice behavior for locked quad view).
Goal of this commit is to support NGons for boolean modifier
(currently mesh is being tessellated before performing boolean
operation) and also solve the limitation of loosing edge custom
data layers after boolean operation is performed.
Main idea is to make it so boolean modifier uses Carve library
directly via it's C-API, avoiding BSP intermediate level which
was doubling amount of memory needed for the operation and which
also used quite reasonable amount of overhead time.
Perhaps memory usage and CPU usage are the same after all the
features are implemented but we've got support now:
- ORIGINDEX for all the geometry
- Interpolation of edge custom data (seams, crease)
- NGons support
Triangulation rule is changed now as well, so now non-flat
polygons are not being merged back after Carve work. This is
so because it's not so trivial to support for NGons and
having different behavior for quads and NGons is even more
creepy.

The blur operations were clamping the filter size to 1, which prevents
no-op blur nodes. Further any value < 1 would also be ignored and in
many combinations the filter scale setting ("Size") would only work in
integer steps.
Now most blur settings will work with smooth Size value scaling as well,
meaning you can choose a reasonably large filter size (e.g. 10) and then
use the Size factor to scale the actual blur radius smoothly.
Note that non-integer filter sizes also depend on the filter type
selected in the Blur node, e.g. "Flat" filtering will still ignore
smooth filter sizes. Gaussian filters work best for this purpose.
