Needed for the animation denoiser since the denoising filter is done separately there.

This allows for extra output passes that encode automatic object and material masks
for the entire scene. It is an implementation of the Cryptomatte standard as
introduced by Psyop. A good future extension would be to add a manifest to the
export and to do plenty of testing to ensure that it is fully compatible with other
renderers and compositing programs that use Cryptomatte.
Internally, it adds the ability for Cycles to have several passes of the same type
that are distinguished by their name.

Apparently quite a few users would like to have the noisy pass available when using the denoiser, and since it's being generated anyways we might as well expose it by default.

This function is supposed to prevent the black artifacts caused by strong normal- or bumpmapping, but failed in some cases.
Now the code correctly handles all test files and previous issues I am aware of and also has extensive comments describing
the algorithm and the math behind it.
Basically, the main problem was that there can be multiple valid solutions that fulfil the reflection angle criterium,
but I had assumed that only one would exist and therefore simply picked the first solution with a positive term in srqt().
Now, the code uses additional validity checks and a simple heuristic to pick the best valid solution.
Additionally, the code messed up very shallow reflections even if the normal map strength was zero due to the constant
limit for the outgoing ray angle, which caused shallow incoming rays to fail the initial test even when reflected directly
on Ng. Now, the code accounts for this by reducing the threshold in the case of a shallow incoming ray, ensuring that at
least N=Ng is always a valid solution.

Loop triangles are tessellated triangles create from polygons, for renderers
or exporters that need to match Blender's polygon tesselation exactly. These
are a read-only runtime cache.
Tessfaces are a legacy data structure from before Blender supported n-gons,
and were already mostly removed from the C code.
Details on porting code to loop triangles is in the release notes.

Since my temporary buffer commit (about a month ago), the OpenCL device was zeroing the wrong buffer, leading to
completely wrong filtered feature passes and therefore significantly lower-quality results than CPU and CUDA.
The crash was caused by BVH traversal stack being overflowed.
That overflow was caused by lots of false-positive intersections
for rays originating on a non-finite location.
Not sure why those rays will be existing in the first place,
this is to be investigated separately.
This commit moves pre-SSE4.1 check to a higher level function
and enables it for all miroarchitectures.
