Sahar A. Kashi 26ed4d3892 Cycles: Linux Support for HIP-RT
This change switches Cycles to an opensource HIP-RT library which
implements hardware ray-tracing. This library is now used on
both Windows and Linux. While there should be no noticeable changes
on Windows, on Linux this adds support for hardware ray-tracing on
AMD GPUs.

The majority of the change is typical platform code to add new
library to the dependency builder, and a change in the way how
ahead-of-time (AoT) kernels are compiled. There are changes in
Cycles itself, but they are rather straightforward: some APIs
changed in the opensource version of the library.

There are a couple of extra files which are needed for this to
work: hiprt02003_6.1_amd.hipfb and oro_compiled_kernels.hipfb.
There are some assumptions in the HIP-RT library about how they
are available. Currently they follow the same rule as AoT
kernels for oneAPI:
- On Windows they are next to blender.exe
- On Linux they are in the lib/ folder

Performance comparison on Ubuntu 22.04.5:
