Gathers information about object geometry and textures. Very basic at
this moment, but need to start somewhere.
Things which needs to be included still:
- "Runtime" information, like BVH. While it is not directly controllable
by artists, it's still important to know.
- Device array sizes. Again, not under artists control, but is added to
the overall size.
- Memory peak at different synchronization stages.
At this point it simply prints info to the stdout after F12 is done,
need better control over that too.

There is no reason or justification to have helper functions as
class methods: they do not depend on anything in the class itself.
There are probably more cases like that.
This is a physically-based, easy-to-use shader for rendering hair and fur,
with controls for melanin, roughness and randomization.
Based on the paper "A Practical and Controllable Hair and Fur Model for
Production Path Tracing".
Implemented by Leonardo E. Segovia and Lukas Stockner, part of Google
Summer of Code 2018.
Features to get the 2nd, 3rd, 4th closest point instead of the closest, and
various distance metrics. No viewport/Eevee support yet.

This works for Cycles, Eevee, texture nodes and compositing. It helps to
reduce the number of math nodes required in various node setups.

Textures in 16 bit integer format are sometimes used for displacement, bump and normal maps and can be exported by tools like Substance Painter. Without this patch, Cycles would promote those textures to single precision floating point, causing them to take up twice as much memory as needed.

This deduplicates the calls for tile (un)mapping and allows to have a target buffer that is different from the source buffer (needed for baking and animation denoising).
The latest clang compiler (at least the one in Xcode 9.4.1) warns about the register keyword and macro expansions using defined().
Since these warnings come from third party code, we can't address them directly in Blender. Silencing them via #pramgas will
at least keep the warnings during a build down to the ones that are relevant to Blender code.
This means the shader can now be used for procedural texturing. New
settings on the node are Samples, Inside, Local Only and Distance.
