This may be used for device to do host memory allocation in a way that
is more efficient for copy the host memory to the device.
Also rename and group device memory allocation functions for clarity.

If one of the devices already used host happed memory but another not,
it would previously realloc both.
Thanks to Jorn Visser for investigating and finding this problem.

Should be a bit more efficient, and it fixes host memory fallback bugs,
where host memory was incorrectly freed during re-copy. For the case
where memory should get reallocated on the host, a new mem_move_to_host
was added.

Precompiled Cycles kernels make up a considerable fraction of the total size of
Blender builds nowadays. As we add more features and support for more
architectures, this will only continue to increase.
However, since these kernels tend to be quite compressible, we can save a lot
of storage by storing them in compressed form and decompressing the required
kernel(s) during loading.
By using Zstandard compression with a high level, we can get decent compression
ratios (~5x for the current kernels) while keeping decompression time low
(about 30ms in the worse case in my tests). And since we already require zstd
for Blender, this doesn't introduce a new dependency.
While the main improvement is to the size of the extracted Blender installation
(which is reduced by ~400-500MB currently), this also shrinks the download on
Windows, since .zip's deflate compression is less effective. It doesn't help on
Linux since we're already using .tar.xz there, but the smaller installed size
is still a good thing.
See #123522 for initial discussion.

Since #118841 there are more cases where Cycles would check for the
graphics interop support. This could lead to a crash when graphics
interop functions are called without having active graphics context.
This change makes it so there is no graphics interop calls when doing
headless render. In order to achieve this the device creation is now
aware of the headless mode.

With the switch to using the primary CUDA context it became possible
for peer access between CUDA devices to already have been enabled for
that context, either by a previous Cycles session or third-party library,
thus causing the call to `cuCtxEnablePeerAccess` to return
`CUDA_ERROR_PEER_ACCESS_ALREADY_ENABLED`. This is not a failure
state however, so just needs to be handled like a success return value.

Previously the CUDA context was always destroyed and the module along
with it. Now that this no longer happens, the missing module free became
a memory leak.
Also fix the same issue for HIP, though this is destroying the context
so it's not a problem yet.
Fix part of #119035

Host memory fallback in CUDA and HIP devices is almost identical.
We remove duplicated code and create a shared generic version that
other devices (oneAPI) will be able to use.

This adds a new mirror image extension type for shaders and
geometry nodes (next to the existing repeat, extend and clip
options).
See D16432 for a more detailed explanation of `wrap_mirror`.
This also adds a new sampler flag `GPU_SAMPLER_MIRROR_REPEAT`.
It acts as a modifier to `GPU_SAMPLER_REPEAT`, so any `REPEAT`
flag must be set for the `MIRROR` flag to have an effect.

This patch causes the render buffers to be copied to the denoiser
device only once before denoising and output/display is then fed
from that single buffer on the denoiser device. That way usually all
but one copy (from all the render devices to the denoiser device)
can be eliminated, provided that the denoiser device is also the
display device (in which case interop is used to update the display).
As such this patch also adds some logic that tries to ensure the
chosen denoiser device is the same as the display device.

* Rename "texture" to "data array". This has not used textures for a long time,
there are just global memory arrays now. (On old CUDA GPUs there was a cache
for textures but not global memory, so we used to put all data in textures.)
* For CUDA and HIP, put globals in KernelParams struct like other devices.
* Drop __ prefix for data array names, no possibility for naming conflict now that
these are in a struct.
Move MNEE to own kernel, separate from shader ray-tracing. This does introduce
the limitation that a shader can't use both MNEE and AO/bevel, but that seems
like the better trade-off for now.
We can experiment with bigger kernel organization changes later.

This patch makes it possible to change the precision with which to
store volume data in the NanoVDB data structure (as float, half, or
using variable bit quantization) via the previously unused precision
field in the volume data block.
It makes it possible to further reduce memory usage during
rendering, at a slight cost to the visual detail of a volume.

Somehow only a part of rBf4f8b6dde32b0438e0b97a6d8ebeb89802987127 ended up in
Cycles X, causing the issue that commit fixed, "OPTIX_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE" when the
system is out of memory, to show up again.
This adds the missing changes to fix that problem.

Happens when device runs out of memory and Cycles is moving some
textures to the host memory.
The delayed memory free for OptiX BVH was moving data from one
device_memory to another, leaving the original device memory in
an invalid state. This was ruining the allocation map in the CUDA
device which is using pointer to the device_memory.
This change makes it so the memory pointer is stolen from BVH
into the delayed memory free list.
Additionally, forbid copying and moving instances of device_memory
and added sanity checks in the device implementation.

This patch adds a CMake option "WITH_CYCLES_DEBUG" which builds cycles with
a feature that allows debugging/selecting the direct-light sampling strategy.
The same option may later be used to add other debugging features that could
affect performance in release builds.
The three options are:
* Forward path tracing (e.g., via BSDF or phase function)
* Next-event estimation
* Multiple importance sampling combination of the previous two methods
Such a feature is useful for debugging light different sampling, evaluation,
and pdf methods (e.g., for light sources and BSDFs).

Instead of printing debug flags listing various CPU and GPU settings that
may or may not be used, print when we are using them. This include CPU
kernel types, OptiX debugging and CUDA and HIP adaptive compilation. BVH
type was already printed.
Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.
