On an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) it crashed when rendering using Cycles. This was due to the fact that it incorrectly detected that the machine supported ray tracing. This uses the device.supportsRaytracing flag to fill in the use_hardware_raytracing flag for the device.
Since avuitl 57.30.100 the pkt_duration is deprecated, and
the duration is to be used instead.
The units seems to match, and also from the avcodec decoder.c
the `frame->pkt_duration = frame->duration;` so does not seem
we need to do any conversion.
The change in FFmpeg is from 2022, which is a bit recent, so
the access to the duration is hidden behind a compatibility
API.

When a file passed in from the command line failed to load,
blender would exit & save the quit.blend.
Resolve by adding a `do_user_exit_actions` to WM_exit_ex which is
false in backgrounds mode or when an error has occurred.

This is a continuation of a fix from the last week in #108311.
The issue was not fully fixed due to a mistake in the regression
test file.
There are two major things which left to be fixed since the
previous patch:
1. Root nodes can not be shared, even if the local and distant
lights belong to the same light set. If the root node is shared
then the flattening will use the same node index for specialized
trees, which is not a desired behavior.
2. The node type needs to be preserved when a new node is
created for a subset of emitters. This is because tree sampling
in kernel will handle distant and local lights differently for
nodes where there are multiple emitters.

A couple of mistakes since the light linking commit:
- The +1 got missed in some of the refactors in the branch
- The order of arguments to the shadow path split was wrong

This patch removes a workaround for an issue that is now understood to be undefined behaviour (and fixed by #108176). It also adds two useful debug flags that we would like to be available in Blender 3.6.

Callers to WM_exit needed to set G.is_break for a predictable exit-code.
This is error prone as G.is_break may be set based on the user having
pressed escape during event handling.
Instead, pass the exit code as an argument.
Although auto-focus only works between a single Blender instance's
child windows, this does include our own console and we don't want
that. Luckily fixing this only requires a single check for null -
because GetFocus() returns null to us for our console.

Previously, each GHOST Context instantiated its own Metal device
queue. Commands are only synchronized within a queue, this was the
root cause of a number of flickering issues which had previously
been worked-around with synchronization primitives.
New solution uses a shared queue to simplify dependencies and
alleviate possibility of stalls and bugs when resources are modified
or shared across separate GPU command queues.

On a user level this fixes configuration when a spot light is
linked to an object, and a sun light is not linked to anything.
It used to be making non-linked receivers to be very noisy.
This is because the distant light did not update the node's
light linking settings when they are added to the node.
A simple demo file will be added to the tests suit as
light_link_distant_tree.blend.

Similar to objects, store the name of Blender's side light name
on the Cycles side. This allows to have readable logs where a
name and property is logged (while previously in the logs all
lights will be called lamp).
There is no user-measurable change.

The original names were `...update_position()`, but no update in
position is performed in these functions, rather, the entries in
`LightSample` are updated. Also make clear that the functions are used
by MNEE.
Windows file associations using ProgID, needed because of the launcher.
This fixes "pin to taskbar" and Recent Documents lists, allow per-
version jump lists and an "Open with" list with multiple versions.
