This could result in wrong skipping of SVM nodes in the graph. Now make the
logic consistent with the clamping in the OSL implementation and constant
folding.
Thanks to Christophe Hery for finding the problem and providing the fix.
Enables Vega and Vega II GPUs as well as Vega APU, using changes in HIP code
to support 64-bit waves and a new HIP SDK version.
Tested with Radeon WX9100, Radeon VII GPUs and Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon
Graphics APU.

If there is an error we should stop rendering, instead of finishing with a
wrong render result or reporting a wrong benchmark time.

This patch unifies the names of math functions for different data types and uses
overloading instead. The goal is to make it possible to swap out all the float3
variables containing RGB data with something else, with as few as possible
changes to the code. It's a requirement for future spectral rendering patches.

This patch suffixes Apple GPU device names with `(GPU - # cores)` so that variant GPUs with the same chipset can be distinguished. Currently benchmark scores for these M1 family GPUs are being incorrectly merged:
- M1: 7 or 8 cores
- M1 Pro: 14 or 16 cores
- M1 Max: 24 or 32 cores
- M1 Ultra: 48 or 64 cores

* Rename "texture" to "data array". This has not used textures for a long time,
there are just global memory arrays now. (On old CUDA GPUs there was a cache
for textures but not global memory, so we used to put all data in textures.)
* For CUDA and HIP, put globals in KernelParams struct like other devices.
* Drop __ prefix for data array names, no possibility for naming conflict now that
these are in a struct.
This patch adds a new mode of gpu capture (env var `CYCLES_DEBUG_METAL_CAPTURE_SAMPLES`) to capture a block of dispatches between "reset" calls. It also fixes member data naming inconsistencies and adds some missing OS version checks.
Screenshot showing .gputrace capture in Xcode 14.0 beta (using `CYCLES_DEBUG_METAL_CAPTURE_SAMPLES="1"` and `CYCLES_DEBUG_METAL_CAPTURE_LIMIT="10"`):

Rendering directly to a resource using OpenGL interop and Hgi
doesn't work in Houdini, since it never uses the resulting resource
(it does not call `HdRenderBuffer::GetResource`). But since doing
that simultaneously disables mapping (`HdRenderBuffer::Map` is
not implemented then), nothing was displayed. To fix this, keep
track of whether a Hydra viewport does support displaying a Hgi
resource directly, by checking whether
`HdRenderBuffer::GetResource` is ever called and only enable use
of OpenGL interop if that is the case.

The packed image loader was not aware of the fact that UDIM tiles
can be of a different size.
Exposed Python API required to access this information. It has the
same complexity as the "regular" packed files: in both cases the
ImBuf will be acquired and released to access the information.
While the current workflow of packing UDIMs is not very streamlined,
it is still possible and is something what the studio is using here.

Expected behavior achieved with this patch: a bigger checker board
pattern in viewport render
Actual behavior prior to this patch: either memory corruption, or
wrong/black render result on the plane

Acceleration structures in the viewport default to building with the fast
build flag, but the intersection program used for curves was queried with
the fast trace flag. The resulting mismatch caused an exception in the
intersection kernel. Since it's difficult to predict whether dynamic or static
acceleration structures are going to be built at the time of kernel loading,
this fixes the mismatch by always using the fast trace flag for curves.
For non-raw, non-sRGB color spaces, always use half float even if that uses
more memory. Otherwise the precision loss from conversion to scene linear or
sRGB (as natively understood by the texture sampling) can be too much.
This also required a change to do alpha association ourselves instead of OIIO,
because in OIIO alpha multiplication happens before conversion to half float
and that gives too much precision loss.

It can be assumed that all scripts comply with basic pep8 formatting
regarding white-space, indentation etc.
Also remove note in best practices page & update `tests/python/pep8.py`.
If we want to exclude some scripts from make format,
this can be done by adding them to `ignore_files` in:
source/tools/utils_maintenance/autopep8_format_paths.py
Or using `# nopep8` for to ignore for individual lines.

Move MNEE to own kernel, separate from shader ray-tracing. This does introduce
the limitation that a shader can't use both MNEE and AO/bevel, but that seems
like the better trade-off for now.
We can experiment with bigger kernel organization changes later.

After recent changes to Nishita sky to clamp negative colors, the pixels ended
up a bit brighter which lead to them exceeding the half float max value. The
CUDA float to half function seems to need clamping.
Regenerate blackbody RGB curve fit to not clamp values, and extend down to
800K since it does now change below 965K.
Note that as before, blackbody is only defined in the range 800K to 12000K
and has a fixed value outside of that. But within that range there should
be no more unnecessary gamut clamping.
This patch makes it possible to change the precision with which to
store volume data in the NanoVDB data structure (as float, half, or
using variable bit quantization) via the previously unused precision
field in the volume data block.
It makes it possible to further reduce memory usage during
rendering, at a slight cost to the visual detail of a volume.

Found those missing casts while looking into a crash report made in
the Blender Chat. Was unable to reproduce the crash, but the casts
should totally be there to avoid integer overflow.
Ensure the correct total/diffuse/transmission depth is set when evaluating
shaders for MNEE, consistent with regular light shader evaluation.
