This PR fixes#130641. The bug was caused by a missing self-object constraint when performing SSS on motion blur scenes. scene_intersect_local tests were erroneously hitting other objects, and out of range primitive IDs were causing spurious downstream behavior.

This logic is copied from surface shader, so that the sampled closure
does not need to be evaluated twice when summing all the closures, but
it is not used in volume.
Based on #123377 by @brecht, but Gitea doesn't like the rebase these
so here's a new PR.
The purpose here is to switch to fused OptiX programs for OSL execution
on CUDA. On the one hand, this makes the code easier since, but there's
also another advantage - how memory allocation is managed.
OSL shaders need memory to store intermediate values, but how much is
needed depends on the complexity of the shader. With the split program
approach, Cycles had to provide that memory, so we had to allocate a
certain amount (2 KiB, to be precise) statically and show an error if
the shader would need more. If the shader used less (which is the case
for the vast majority), the memory was just wasted.
By switching to fused kernels, OSL knows the required amount during JIT
codegen, so it can allocate only what's required, which avoids this
waste. One still needs to set a maximum, and in theory, OSL would also
support spilling over into a Cycles-provided alternative memory region.
However, we currently don't implement that - instead, we default to the
same 2048 limit as before and let advanced users override it via the
CYCLES_OSL_GROUPDATA_ALLOC environment variable if really needed.

The `poll()` function for `CYCLES_PT_context_material` was using the
legacy `GPENCIL` identifier as opposed to `GREASEPENCIL`. This caused
duplicated material templates to show in the material tab.

Turns out that with `-fassociative-math`, GCC turns
`(1.0f - cos_NH2) + alpha2 * cos_NH2` into
`cos_NH2 * (alpha2 - 1.0f) + 1.0f`.
Not sure why since the operation count is the same, but if alpha2 is very
small, `alpha2 - 1.0f` will be exactly -1.0f, which then causes issues.
Luckily, having one_minus_cos_NH2 as its own variable appears to be enough to
make GCC keep the original formulation.
Just to be safe, I've also used one_minus_cos_NH2 in the other branch to
hopefully reduce the chance of it being folded in again. Also turns a
division into a reciprocal, which is in theory slightly faster.

The function table symbol declared in the headers was renamed starting
in OptiX 8.1, from `g_optixFunctionTable` to
`g_optixFunctionTable_<ABI version>`. This adds support for that by
using the new macro for the name when available (after OptiX 8.1) and
falling back to the old name when it is not (before OptiX 8.1).

In 891d71a4d4 this keyword was
dropped due to performance regression after
fdc2962beb, but currently code
does not experience this performance degradation, and in fact
there is minor performance improvement on Lunar Lake GPUs,
along with an expected improvement in compile time.
However, this change brings a minor performance regression to
shade_surface kernel on Intel Arc and Meteor Lake GPUs, which
will be solved later by disabling this keyword for
these platforms only.

NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).

This change makes it so only kernels of the same vendor are compiled in
parallel. For example for the release builds it will be:
1. All CUDA kernels
2. All OptiX kernels
3. All HIP kernels
4. All OneAPI kernels
This potentially leads to a lower CPU utilization, but it makes it much
easier to manage memory usage and tweak per-vendor concurrency.
The goal of this change is to solve occasional out-of-memory during the
GPU kernels compilation step on the CI/CD farm.
This change also includes tweaks to the prallel jobs for HIP-RT and
oneAPI. The tweak is based on measuring apparent memory usage peak on
Linux when doing single-thread compilation, and giving some safe margin
from the available memory on the buildbot.

All the OSL matrix functions had been implemented using the
`Transform` utility of Cycles, but that's built around a 4x3 matrix,
when the OSL matrix functions are working with 4x4 matrices.
This resulted in them not producing results consistent with the
CPU implementation.
This fixes that by making use of the `ProjectionTransform` utility
of Cycles instead, because it's built around a 4x4 matrix. Since
matrix inversion is required, I had to make a few more utility
functions available on the GPU (except Metal, due to use of
references/pointers without specification) that were previously
CPU-only.

Don't try to use MetalRT by default unless the device explicitly reports that RT is supported. We shouldn't just rely on an assumption that it's supported for M3 and beyond, ad infinitum.

6c03339e48 moved from
rtcSetNewGeometryBuffer to rtcSetSharedGeometryBuffer but kept the
additional padding of 1 element in the function call.
It was previously used for over-allocating, to allow 16-byte reads of
all accessed elements, as Embree requires.
With rtcSetSharedGeometryBuffer, this argument led to an out-of-bounds
read as memory was already allocated without padding.
float3 is already 16-bytes so there is no need for padding, hence we
remove it.
We can also note that now, even when using rtcSetSharedGeometryBuffer,
over-allocating is not needed as it's done and functional on Embree side
since v3.6.

Running Xcode memory graphs and the Instruments tools revealed
memory leaks caused, in the main, by over-retained objects.
This removes the unnecessary 'retains' and adds some asserts
to guard against over-retaining in the future.
There are a few memory leaks remaining involving PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8
but I am unable to identify the cause of these at this time.

Changing 3D curve properties while viewport rendering was active
resulted in an error, because Cycles would attempt to update the
acceleration structure containing the curves, but that acceleration
structure was built without the
`OPTIX_BUILD_FLAG_ALLOW_UPDATE` flag allowing updates. This
fixes that by adding the flag to all curve build inputs.
Ideally could just use the same flags as for other build inputs and
differentiate between viewport and final rendering (based on
`bvh_type`), but that's not currently an option since the same flags
have to be specified to query the curve intersection module in
`load_kernels()`, where that differentiation is not known. See also
commit 5c6053ccb1.

This commit removes support for Vega GPUs from the AMD HIP backend of
Cycles. This is being done as:
- AMD no longer provides official support for Vega GPUs in their
ROCm software.
- Vega GPUs have rendering artifacts on all supported platforms,
and as a result of the reduction of support from AMD, are unlikely
to be fixed. Rendering artifacts include.
- The incorrect shading of volumes (Windows and Linux)
- Missing intersections on many meshes with HIPRT
- Crashing rendering subsurface scattering materials (Linux)
- And more.

For now, PointerRNA is made non-trivial by giving explicit default
values to its members.
Besides of BPY python binding code, the change is relatively trivial.
The main change (besides the creation/deletion part) is the replacement
of `memset` by zero-initialized assignment (using `{}`).
makesrna required changes are quite small too.
The big piece of this PR is the refactor of the BPY RNA code.
It essentially brings back allocation and deletion of the BPy_StructRNA,
BPy_Pointer etc. python objects into 'cannonical process', using `__new__`,
and `__init__` callbacks (and there matching CAPI functions).
Existing code was doing very low-level manipulations to create these
data, which is not really easy to understand, and AFAICT incompatible
with handling C++ data that needs to be constructed and destructed.
Unfortunately, similar change in destruction code (using `__del__` and
matching `tp_finalize` CAPI callback) is not possible, because of technical
low-level implementation details in CPython (see [1] for details).
`std::optional` pointer management is used to encapsulate PointerRNA
data. This allows to keep control on _when_ actual RNA creation is done,
and to have a safe destruction in `tp_dealloc` callbacks.
Note that a critical change in Blender's Python API will be that classes
inherinting from `bpy_struct` etc. will now have to properly call the
base class `__new__` and/or `__init__`if they define them.
Implements #122431.

In volume segment, the minimal angle formed by the emitter bounding cone
axis and the vector pointing from the cluster centroid to any point on
the ray is computed via `dot(bcone.axis, point_to_centroid)`, see Fig.8.
in paper.
For distant light this angle is 0, but due to numerical issues this is
not always true. Therefore explicitly assign `-bcone.axis` to
`point_to_centroid` in this case.

Currently the number of shadow paths is multiplied by the ratio of
0.5f which would half the number of paths. However, the index can
never be smaller than the number of paths so the shadow paths will
always be compacted.

Looks like some recent changes in the driver broke an assumption
the OptiX denoiser code in Cycles made about being able to set it up
with a different input size than later used to invoke it, which caused
broken output on older GPU architectures. This commit fixes that by
ensuring the input image size passed to `optixDenoiserSetup` matches
that passed to `optixDenoiserInvoke`, even when no tiling is used
(which is the common case).

This PR fixes a latent issue arising from invalid use of `accept_any_intersection(true)` when performing SSS ray-stepping with MetalRT. The comment incorrectly states that "we can optimize and accept the first hit", but to guarantee correct behaviour in future we need to request the closest hit.
