This commit adds a sample-based profiler that runs during CPU rendering and collects statistics on time spent in different parts of the kernel (ray intersection, shader evaluation etc.) as well as time spent per material and object.
The results are currently not exposed in the user interface or per Python yet, to see the stats on the console pass the "--cycles-print-stats" argument to Cycles (e.g. "./blender -- --cycles-print-stats").
Unfortunately, there is no clear way to extend this functionality to CUDA or OpenCL, so it is CPU-only for now.

Meshes from evaluated objects may already have modifiers applied, but
that's not the case for curves, we need to do that when converting them
to meshes.
In some instances, the number of control vertices of a hair could change mid-frame.
Cycles would then be unable to calculate proper motion blur for those hairs. This adds
interpolated CVs to fill in for the missing data. While this will not necessarily result in
a fully accurate reconstruction of the guide hair, it preserves motion blur instead of disabling it.

For some reason when building with gcc-7.2 (which is default
in previous Ubuntu LTS) the guarded allocator is not being
properly instantiated.
Doesn't happen with newer version of gcc-7 which is 7.3, and
also doesn't happen with gcc-6 and gcc-8.
Would be nice to know what is wrong, but for the time being
committing workaround which keeps Blender users happy.
While we shouldn't have logic in an entry point, and since one should
not be making typos when moving lines around, there is bigger entanglement
issue with BVH host code using kernel function. This is bad violation,
but is tricky to get solved moments before the weekly.
In order to keep things in a (less) broken state than before own cleanup
reverting the changes.
This reverts commit 2bad10be96.

Currently this is possible after built-in images are loaded in memory.
Allows to save memory used by dependency graph and copy-on-write.
In practice this lowers peak system memory usage from 52GB to 42GB on
a production file of spring 03_035_A.lighting.
Note, that this only applies to F12 and command line renders.
Bigger note, that this optimization is currently only possible if
there are no grease pencil objects to be rendered.
