New ("fullframe") CPU compositor backend is being used now, and all the code
related to "tiled" CPU compositor is just never used anymore. The new backend
is faster, uses less memory, better matches GPU compositor, etc.
TL;DR: 20 thousand lines of code gone.
This commit:
- Removes various bits and pieces related to "tiled" compositor (execution
groups, one-pixel-at-a-time node processing, read/write buffer operations
related to node execution groups).
- "GPU" (OpenCL) execution device, that was only used by several nodes of
the tiled compositor.
- With that, remove CLEW external library too, since nothing within Blender
uses OpenCL directly anymore.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

This patch adds the base code needed to make the full-frame system work for both current tiled/per-pixel implementation of operations and full-frame.
Two execution models:
- Tiled: Current implementation. Renders execution groups in tiles from outputs to input. Not all operations are buffered. Runs the tiled/per-pixel implementation.
- FullFrame: All operations are buffered. Fully renders operations from inputs to outputs. Runs full-frame implementation of operations if available otherwise the current tiled/per-pixel. Creates output buffers on first read and free them as soon as all its readers have finished, reducing peak memory usage of complex/long trees. Operations are multi-threaded but do not run in parallel as Tiled (will be done in another patch).
This should allow us to convert operations to full-frame in small steps with the system already working and solve the problem of high memory usage.
FullFrame breaking changes respect Tiled system, mainly:
- Translate, Rotate, Scale, and Transform take effect immediately instead of next buffered operation.
- Any sampling is always done over inputs instead of last buffered operation.
