Initialization with `MEM_new()` depends a lot on the initialization rules
of C++, which are not obvious. Calling it with no arguments to be passed
to the constructor may cause the resulting object to be implicitly 0
initialized (or parts of it). This can have an impact on performance
sensitive code, so it's something to document.
Alternatively we could enforce default initialization (as opposed to the
value initalization that happens now), but this could cause
uninitialized memory in a way that isn't obvious either. This is a
possible source of bugs, so Jacques and I decided against it.
This patch refactors the "Hair" data-block, which will soon be renamed
to "Curves". The larger change is switching from an array of `HairCurve`
to find indices in the points array to simply storing an array of offsets.
Using a single integer instead of two halves the amount of memory for that
particular array.
Besides that, there are some other changes in this patch:
- Split the data-structure to a separate `CurveGeometry`
DNA struct so it is usable for grease pencil too.
- Update naming to be more aligned with newer code and the style guide.
- Add direct access to some arrays in RNA
-- Radius is now retrieved as a regular attribute in Cycles.
-- `HairPoint` has been renamed to `CurvePoint`
-- `HairCurve` has been renamed to `CurveSlice`
- Add comments to the struct in DNA.
The next steps are renaming `Hair` -> `Curves`, and adding support
for other curve types: Bezier, Poly, and NURBS.

Previously, macros were ifdefed using the cmake option `WITH_INTERNATIONAL`
However, the is unnecessary as withen the functions themselves have checks for building without internationalization.
This also means that many `add_definitions(-DWITH_INTERNATIONAL)` are also unnecessary.

Sometime throughout development some checks got lost during refactor.
This change makes it so that if OIDN is not supported on the current
CPU Cycles will report an error and stop rendering. This behavior is
similar to when an OptiX denoiser is requested and there is no OptiX
compatible device available.
The easiest way to verify this change is to force return false from
the `openimagedenoise_supported()`.

Remove small ray offsets that were used to avoid self intersection, and leave
that to the newly added primitive object/prim comparison. These changes together
significantly reduce artifacts on small, large or far away objects.
The balance here is that overlapping primitives are not handled well and should
be avoided (though this was already an issue). The upside is that this is
something a user has control over, whereas the other artifacts had no good
manual solution in many cases.
There is a known issue where the Blender particle system generates overlapping
objects and in turn leads to render differences between CPU and GPU. This will
be addressed separately.

This reverts commit 086f191169.
There was apparently a problem using APPEND which wasn't referenced
in the commit log.
Added comment noting the reason for the discrepancy.
The OSL image compilation step needed to be taught about the new UVTILE
format for UDIM textures.
A small missing feature from OIIO[1] means this is a bit uglier than it
needs to be. Once we update to a version of OIIO with the fix we can
remove the string replace part.

This patch fixes a correctness issue discovered in the `int4 select(...)` function on Apple Silicon machines, which causes bad bvh2 builds. Although the generated bvh2s give correct renders, the resulting runtime performance is terrible. This fix allows us to switch over to bvh2 on Apple Silicon giving a significant performance uplift for many of the standard benchmarking assets. It also fixes some unit test failures stemming from the use of MetalRT, and trivially enables the new pointcloud primitive.

This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.
