When using `--cycles-resumable-num-chunks N` to render a subset of the
samples, having N close to the total number of samples causes rounding
issues.
For example, a file configured for 250 samples and 150 chunks should
have 1.6666 sample per chunk. The old code rounded this to 2 samples per
chunk, which would result in too many samples being rendered. When
rendering a single chunk this doesn't matter much, but when larger chunk
ranges are rendered with `--cycles-resumable-start-chunk` and
`--cycles-resumable-end-chunk` the rounding errors start to add up.
By multiplying with the number of chunks to render first, and only round
to integers after that, this issue is solved. In the above example,
rendering 3 chunks will correctly render 5 samples rather than 6.
When the requested number of chunks is larger than the number of samples
there will be duplicate samples (that is, sample N appearing both in
chunk M and M+1). In this case a warning is printed to stderr.
This is needed for T50977 Progressive render: use non-uniform sample
chunks.

We've had many reported crashes on Windows where we suspect there is a
corrupted OpenCL driver. The purpose here is to keep Blender generally
usable in such cases.
Now it always shows None / CUDA / OpenCL in the preferences, and only when
selecting one will it reveal if there are any GPUs available. This should
avoid crashes when opening the preferences or on startup.

This is a quick workaround to prevent the crashes with multi-view.
The ultimate solution can be plenty, and would turn around refactoring
Cycles to handle multi-view internally, so that depsgraph could be freed
before render with no problems.

The integrator maximum number of closures was not set properly for the CPU/mega
kernels to match the actual available memory. Before relatively recent code
refactoring we did not use this value in those kernels so it worked fine.
this can now be found in the sidebar View panel
- uses existing 'lock_camera_and_layers' but renames the property to
'use_local_camera'
- uses RNA_def_property_boolean_negative_sdna to flip the value
- remove the local view code in
rna_SpaceView3D_lock_camera_and_layers_set
- update Python code
- update Addons code will be separate commit

Even though it makes sense logically to have displacement actually displace
the mesh, this is causing a lot of confusion for existing users that are used
to the previous behavior. Further, since Eevee does not support displacement
yet and the discrepancy between the viewport and final render is problematic.
This change brings back old original logic which was checking
whether worker threads do fit into an active CPU group. But
it does it a bit smarter now and is also checking affinity
within that group. This way Cycles will use all threads on a
Threadripper2 CPU if it's set to automatic number of threads,
but on another hand will not change affinity if user requested
16 threads and changed Blender affinity.
Tweaked scheduling so it survives this situation by scattering
"extra" threads uniformly over all the NUMA nodes.
There are still tweaks possible to make some specific hardware
configurations work better.
(Part 1 was 00963afc14978b)
Does the following changes visible to users:
* Use panels and sub-panels for more structured & logical grouping
* Re-organized options more logically than before (see images in D4148)
* Use flow layout (single column by default).
* New layout uses horizontal margin if there's enough space.
* Change size of Preferences window to suit new layout.
* Move keymap related options from "Input" into own section.
* Own, left-bottom aligned region for Save Preferences button.
* Adjustments of names, tooltips & icons.
* Move buttons from header into the main region (except editor switch).
* Hide Preferences header when opened in temporary window.
* Use full area width for header.
* Don't use slider but regular number widget for UI scale.
* Gray out animation player path option if player isn't "Custom"
Internal changes:
* Rearrange RNA properties to match changed UI structure.
* Introduces new "EXECUTE" region type, see reasoning in D3982.
* Changes to panel layout and AZone code for dynamic panel region.
* Bumps subversion and does versioning for new regions.
RNA changes are documented in the release notes:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.80/Python_API/Preferences_API
Design & implementation mostly done by @billreynish and myself.
