This allows users to implement arbitrary camera models using OSL by writing
shaders that take an image position as input and compute ray origin and
direction.
The obvious applications for this are e.g. panorama modes, lens distortion
models and realistic lens simulation, but the possibilities are endless.
Currently, this is only supported on devices with OSL support, so CPU and
OptiX. However, it is independent from the shading model used, so custom
cameras can be used without getting the performance hit of OSL shading.
A few samples are provided as Text Editor templates.
One notable current limitation (in addition to the limited device support)
is that inverse mapping is not supported, so Window texture coordinates and
the Vector pass will not work with custom cameras.

Check was misc-const-correctness, combined with readability-isolate-declaration
as suggested by the docs.
Temporarily clang-format "QualifierAlignment: Left" was used to get consistency
with the prevailing order of keywords.

- Deduplicate Fisheye projection code
- Replace spherical/cartesian conversions with shared helpers
- Replace transforms from/to local coordinate systems with shared helpers
The main type of repeated transform that's not covered here is `to/from_coords`, but with separate values for xy and z (e.g. BSDFs that already computed `dot(wi, N)` earlier, so they only need `dot(wi, X)` and `dot(wi, Y)` later). Could also be replaced, but it would feel weirdly specific for a helper function.

This type of projection is often used e.g. in exhibitions that leverage big
curved screens.
Effectively, the frame is mapped onto a cylinder, with the x axis becoming the
longitude and y axis becoming the height.
Users can configure the min/max longitude, the min/max height and the radius of
the cylinder.

The function `direction_to_<some projection model>` computes the inverse of `<some projection model>_to_direction`.
Some of these functions had a bug where they mirror the x-axis, and some of them could be simplified.
I added round-trip tests for all of them.
This MR might change the behavior of the renderer when using equiangular_cubemap_face_to_direction:
I normalized the result vector. I looked at the usages and I think it's normalized later anyways, but someone else should probably verify that this doesn't cause issues.

The function direction_to_fisheye_lens_polynomial computes the inverse of
fisheye_lens_polynomial_to_direction.
Previously the function worked almost correctly if all parameters except k_0
and k_1 were zero (in that case it was correct except for flipping the x-axis).
I replaced the fixed-point iteration (?) by Newton's method and implemented a
test to make sure it works correctly with a wider range of parameter sets.

The code to compute differentials mixed up the camera-space locations
of the raster coordinate and the camera itself, which caused the dP
differential to be set even when the ray origin is always the same.
This commit fixes that, reorganizes the code so that the Px/Py are
no longer used for both values to avoid future confusion, and skips
some unnecessary calculations stereo rendering isn't being used.
based on concentric disk mapping.
Concentric disk mapping was already present, but not used everywhere.
Now `sample_cos_hemisphere()`, `sample_uniform_hemisphere()`, and
`sample_uniform_cone()` use concentric disk mapping.
This changes the noise in many test images.

This can be used for example for VR video formats that use this projection
instead of perspective projection for cubemap faces.

For transparency, volume and light intersection rays, adjust these distances
rather than the ray start position. This way we increment the start distance
by the smallest possible float increment to avoid self intersections, and be
sure it works as the distance compared to be will be exactly the same as
before, due to the ray start position and direction remaining the same.

* 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.
* Replace license text in headers with SPDX identifiers.
* Remove specific license info from outdated readme.txt, instead leave details
to the source files.
* Add list of SPDX license identifiers used, and corresponding license texts.
* Update copyright dates while we're at it.

This allows real world cameras to be modeled by specifying the coordinates of a
4th degree polynomial that relates a pixels distance (in mm) from the optical
center on the sensor to the angle (in radians) of the world ray that is
projected onto that pixel.
This is available as part of the panoramic lens type, however it can also be
used to model lens distortions in projective cameras for example.

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.
