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.

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.
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.

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.

OptiX 7.4 adds support for splitting the costly creation of an OptiX
module into smaller tasks that can be executed in parallel on a
thread pool.
This is only really relevant for the "shader_raytrace" kernel variant
as the main one is small and compiles fast either way. It sheds of
a few seconds there (total gain is not massive currently, since it is
difficult for the compiler to split up the huge shading entry point
that is the primary one taking up time, but it is still measurable).

This is a stripped down version of D14645 without the scene specialisation optimisations.
The two major changes in this patch are:
- Enables more aggressive inlining on Apple Silicon resulting in a 1.1x speedup and 10% reduction in spill, at the cost of longer pipeline build times
- Revival of shader binary archives through a new ShaderCache which is shared between MetalDevice instances using the same physical MTLDevice. This mitigates the extra compile times via explicit caching (rather than, as before, relying on the implicit system shader cache which can be purged without notice)

This patch adds a Hydra render delegate to Cycles, allowing Cycles to be used for rendering
in applications that provide a Hydra viewport. The implementation was written from scratch
against Cycles X, for integration into the Blender repository to make it possible to continue
developing it in step with the rest of Cycles. For this purpose it follows the style of the rest of
the Cycles code and can be built with a CMake option
(`WITH_CYCLES_HYDRA_RENDER_DELEGATE=1`) similar to the existing standalone version
of Cycles.
Since Hydra render delegates need to be built against the exact USD version and other
dependencies as the target application is using, this is intended to be built separate from
Blender (`WITH_BLENDER=0` CMake option) and with support for library versions different
from what Blender is using. As such the CMake build scripts for Windows had to be modified
slightly, so that the Cycles Hydra render delegate can e.g. be built with MSVC 2017 again
even though Blender requires MSVC 2019 now, and it's possible to specify custom paths to
the USD SDK etc. The codebase supports building against the latest USD release 22.03 and all
the way back to USD 20.08 (with some limitations).

Caused by an integer overflow in the tiling utilities of OptiX SDK.
Seems for now it's easier to copy and modify code to our sources so
that we don't need to bump SDK version requirement (which might lead
to an increased driver requirement as well).
There are still some fixes needed from a newer driver to have such
denoising to work properly: Windows requires 511.79, Linux 510.54.
Thanks Patrick for investigation!

GLUT does not support offscreen contexts, which is required for the new
display driver. So we use SDL instead. Note that this requires using a
system SDL package, the Blender precompiled SDL does not include the video
subsystem.
There is currently no text display support, instead info is printed to
the terminal. This would require adding an embedded font and GLSL shaders,
or using GUI library.
Another improvement to be made is supporting OpenColorIO display transforms,
right now we assume Rec.709 scene linear and display.
All OpenGL, GLEW and SDL code was move out of core cycles and into
app/opengl. This serves as a template for apps that want to integrate
Cycles interactive rendering, with a simple OpenGLDisplayDriver example.
In general this would be adapted to the graphics API and color management
used by the app.

There are two things achieved by this change:
- No possible downcast of size_t to int when calculating motion steps.
- Disambiguate call to `min()` which was for some reason considered
ambiguous on 32bit platforms `min(int, unsigned int)`.
- Do the same for the `max()` call to keep them symmetrical.
On an implementation side the `min()` is defined for a fixed width
integer type to disambiguate uint from size_t on 32bit platforms,
and yet be able to use it for 32bit operands on 64bit platforms without
upcast.
This ended up in a bit bigger change as the conditional compile-in of
functions is easiest if the functions is templated. Making the functions
templated required to remove the other source of ambiguity which is
`algorithm.h` which was pulling min/max from std.
Now it is the `math.h` which is the source of truth for min/max.
It was only one place which was relying on `algorithm.h` for these
functions, hence the choice of `math.h` as the safest and least
intrusive.
Fixes 32bit platforms (such as i386) in Debian package build system.
