Roughness baking previously defaulted to 1.0 for all diffuse materials,
now we also bake roughness values of Oren-Nayer and Principled Diffuse.

Use C++11 threads when available, and native critical section on Windows.
Later on we can remove pthread code when C+11 becomes required.

Random numbers for step offset were correlated, now use stratified samples
which reduces noise as well for some types of volumes, mainly procedural
ones where the step size is bigger than the volume features.
With better directory layout and more proper include
statements we can avoid several local modifications,
such as changing config.h for Windows Glog and the
ones related on pass-through statements in logging
headers in Glog.
This commit also makes unused functions not-a-warning
for external code.
Increasing the samplig dimensions like this is not optimal, I'm looking
into some deeper changes to reuse the random number and change the RR
probabilities, but this should fix the bug for now.
This save a little memory and copying in the kernel by storing only a 4x3
matrix instead of a 4x4 matrix. We already did this in a few places, and
those don't need to be special exceptions anymore now.
This is in preparation of making Transform affine only, and also gives us
a little extra type safety so we don't accidentally treat it as a regular
4x4 matrix.
The purpose of the previous code refactoring is to make the code more readable,
but combined with this change benchmarks also render about 2-3% faster with an
NVIDIA Titan Xp.
around the volume.
We generate a tight mesh around the active voxels of the volume in order
to effectively skip empty space, and start volume ray marching as close
to interesting volume data as possible. See code comments for details on
how the mesh generation algorithm works.
This gives up to 2x speedups in some scenes.
