This commit adds some extra prints to terminal related to oneAPI driver
information in the situation that the driver version is considered
incompatible with the current version of Cycles.

At the moment MNEE locks up Cycles, or has rendering artifacts on
RDNA4 GPUs on WIndows.
This commit disables MNEE on that configuration until a fix
is avaliable.

Currently MetalRT interpolates transformation matrix on per-element basis
which leads to issues like #135659.
This change adds implementation of for decomposed (Scale/Rotate/Translate)
motion interpolation, matching behavior of BVH2 and other HW-RT.
This requires macOS 15 and Xcode 16 in order to use this interpolation.
On older platforms and compilers old interpolation is used.
Currently there is no changes on the user (by default) and it is only
available via CYCLES_METALRT_PCMI environment variable. This is because
there are some issues with complex motion paths that need to be looked
into. Having code available makes it easier to do further debugging.

Instead of relying on the Intel extensions that may not be implemented,
we can use max_work_group_size until there is a better alternative.
Thanks to Codeplay for this proposal.

This API is not properly implemented in other SYCL backends at the
moment and we don't want it to fail at runtime, so we conservatively
enable it only for Level-Zero.
Instead of returning 0 in case the Intel extension for getting the count
of Execution Units isn't available, we now use
sycl::info::device::max_compute_units.
We keep using the Intel extension in priority since it logically goes
with sycl::ext::intel::info::device::gpu_hw_threads_per_eu used in
get_max_num_threads_per_multiprocessor(), for which there is no
sycl::info::device::max_threads_per_compute_unit replacement yet.
This fixes the following warning with MSVC:
device_impl.cpp(287): warning C4805: '|=': unsafe mix of type 'bool' and type 'ccl::uint' in operation
The similar fix is applied to Metal code as well.
There is no short-circuiting boolean operator ||=, so expand the expression.

There is a known precision bug in the current HIP compiler version (RDNA2 family/Windows) that has already been fixed and will be available in
a future HIP SDK release. Enabling more precise math prevents the artifacts.
This may cause a 5-10% performance drop in some scenes.

This issue only affects profiling mode (`CYCLES_METAL_PROFILING=1`). There's a modest limit to the number of concurrent counter sampling buffers per device, so instead of creating one per device queue, we create one per device that can be reused by successive device queues.

This PR removes a bunch of dead code following #123551 (removal of AMD and Intel GPU support). It is safe to assume that UMA will be available, so a lot of codepaths that dealt with copying between CPU and GPU are now just clutter.

The crash has been introduced by the refactor of lights to be
objects in #134846.
We can make such cases easier to catch at compile time in the
future, but for now applying the minimal patch which solves the
problem without going deeper into refactor.

Is harmless from functional perspective, but uses more resources and
potentially slower than it should be. Although, probably something
hard to measure in practice, but still better not follow this anti-
pattern.

Various fixes in the HIP-RT BVH building related on making sure
curves motion blur is supported and is working correctly, as well
as properly handle motion pass configuration when path tracing is
to ignore motion blur (and instead write vector pass).
This PR contains #134797 with fixes needed to fully finish it:
moving commits from that PR here made it easier to ensure all
moving parts are tested without mental overhead.

Rewrite the ONEAPI Blender texture allocation code to make use of
1D images backed by linear USM memory. This increases parity
with the CUDA implementation and sets the ground work for enabling
host USM allocations in Blender. By enabling this functionality,
previously failing benchmarks are now passing.
Together with the previous commit, no functional changes are expected.
These have bugs in with the latest HIP-RT and HIP SDK, so just disable them
as we do not expect a fix in time, and rolling back would re-introduce other
bugs. As RDNA1 does not have hardware raytracing, it is also less important
to use HIP-RT.
Note that only RDNA2+ is officially supported by HIP, so these GPUs working
at all is somewhat lucky.

After the recent HIP SDK 6.3 update on Windows, the minimum GPU driver
required to use HIP in Cycles has increased.
This commit increases the required driver version listed in the UI and
adds a check to avoid showing HIP devices if they're below a certain
driver version number as they don't work properly.

This change brings the following improvements on the user level
- Support of GPUs with gfx12 architecture
- New HIP-RT library which in addition to the gfx12 support brings
various bug-fixes.
The known limitation of gfx12 is that OpenImageDenoiser does not yet
support this GPU architecture. This means that while Cycles will use the
full advantage of the gfx12 (including hardware accelerated ray-tracing),
denoising will only be possible on CPU, or secondary gfx11 or below GPU.
This is something that requires a change in OIDN and it is to late to do
it for Blender 4.4, but it is something to look forward for Blender 4.5.
The gfx12 changes for the pre-compiled kernels is rather trivial,
so it comes together (in the same PR) as the bigger HIP-RT change.
On the development side this change brings the following improvements:
- One step compile and link (much simpler CMake rules)
- Embedding BVH binaries in hiprt dll (which makes it easier to package
and load, without relying on special path configuration)

There is a bug in Embree that makes BVH updates crash. Disabling multithreaded
BVH updates after the initial BVH build appears to work around it, at the cost
of some performance.
This will not affect performance of the initial BVH build, transforming objects
or editing a single mesh. It will only affect performance when multiple smaller
meshes are edited together, as those can no longer have their BVH updated in
parallel or benefit from parallellization over many primitives.

free_memory queries were disabled due to runtime driver issues on Linux
when using jemalloc.
compute-runtime introduced a fix for these issues with
8527779778
which is part of versions 31740 and higher, and matches the currently
required min-driver version, so we can restore this feature.

* Do oneAPI copy optimization as part of host memory alloc and free, so
it is properly released before host memory is freed.
* Synchronize after loading texture info, like CUDA and HIP.

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.
