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.

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.

Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

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.
