* Some libraries like Alembic and OpenColorIO for a long time removed
header dependencies on Boost.
* No need to have BOOST_LIBRARIES anymore, only BOOST_PYTHON_LIBRARIES
is a direct dependency through USD headers.
* OpenVDB is no longer a static library, no need to link its dependencies.

Extract Boykov-Kolmogorov max flow algorithm from boost::graph. As part
of work towards removing Boost as a Blender dependency.
Together with #133347 this removes the last direct Blender dependency
on Boost.

Without boost::locale, there seems no particular reason to modify the
global locale, we can just translate strings ourselves.
Other locale facets like numeric and time are also left unchanged
from the default, which is the "C" locale. This appears to match
previous Blender behavior with boost::locale. That protects against
bugs where formatting floats for I/O unexpectedly depends on the
system language.

In a previous commit (1), adjustments to light tree traversal were made
to try and skip distant lights when deciding which light to sample
while within a world volume.
The skip wasn't implemented properly, and as a result distant lights
were still included in the light tree traversal in that sitaution.
And due to the way the skip was implemented, there were some
unintialized variables used in the processing of the distant lights
importance which caused artifacts on some platforms.
This commit fixes this issue by reverting the skip of distant lights
in that situation.

It is possible that the valid range computed from `theta` and the range
visible to the current pixel do not overlap. In this case the hair
section has no contribution.

In Cycles, the subsurface scattering shader will switch to a
diffuse shader under a few different conditions to improve performance
and reduce noise.
This commit removes the "switch back to diffuse if the scattering
radius is less than a quarter of a pixel" optimization because in some
scenes, this can result in noticable lines as the shader transitions
between subsurface scattering and diffuse.

Happens after f79cae2c59. Seems that Metal pre-processing could not
figure out that the inclusion is guarded behind `#ifdef`, so the
included file is expanded here and never again afterwards.
The pre-processing should be fixed, but for now just always include the file.

The problem here was that the sync code overwrites the point data, but didn't
reset the transform_applied flag, so the rest of the code assumed that the
points are already in world space and didn't apply the transform again.
This was useful in the beginning to ensure we supported most surface
configurations. However it seems that there are not that many surface
configurations to support.

Have `eyedropper_color_sample_fl` return success, in case platform
sampling starts but is canceled (Async return on MacOS). Removes any
chance of returning black color on failures.

Cycles has a sample offset feature allowing users to render X samples
in a single frame on one device, then the remaining Y samples later or
on a different device and combine them back together at the end.
However in most situations the result from using this method was
different, and usually lower quality than rendering all the samples in
one go.
This was because Cycles tunes it's random number sequence for the
number of samples being rendered. And the random number sequence was
being tuned for the wrong number of samples in the case that a user
was using the sample offset.
This commit fixes this issue by adding a "sample subset" feature.
The user specifies the total sample count being rendered across all
devices in the existing `Max Samples` parameter, then specifies per
device which subset of samples will be rendered (E.g. Render samples
0-1024 out of a 0-2048 range).
This commit also contains some additional clean up work
inside Cycles related to the area being changed.

#115187 introduced the eyedropper tool for use outside blender on macOS,
but the following issues remain:
1. Users must grant screen capture permission to blender.
2. No visual cue. (cursor icon cannot display as an eyedropper outside
blender)
3. Users must press `Enter` to activate the picker.
4. `CGWindowListCreateImage` function has been deprecated as of macOS
14.0
The proposed fix is to use `NSColorSampler` class to select colours
directly from onscreen content. It offers:
1. Permission free (no screen capture permission required).
2. A clear visual cue when selecting colours.
Known issue:
1. Still need press `Enter` to activate the picker.

This will add support for `VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering_local_read` when supported.
The extension allows reading from an attachment that has been written to by a
previous command.
Per platform optimizations still need to happen in future changes. Change will
be limited to Qualcomm devices (in a future commit).
On Qualcomm devices this provides an uplift of 16% when using shader_balls.blend

The `ZDepth` output of the camera data node was different between SVM
and OSL.
SVM would output the `ZDepth`, with negative distances for points
behind the camera. While OSL would output the absolute of the distance,
which resulted in points behind the camera becoming positive.
Align OSL to SVM and allow outputting the negative distance as it
allows users to differentiate between what's in front or behind the
camera.

In a recent refactor (1), the subsurface weight was set to be
constant, when it can be modified in the case that `__SUBSURFACE__`
is false, such as when using the adaptive compilation feature.
This commit fixes this issue by rearranging the code so the subsurface
weight is never overwritten.

When using clangd or running clang-tidy on headers there are
currently many errors. These are noisy in IDEs, make auto fixes
impossible, and break features like code completion, refactoring
and navigation.
This makes source/blender headers work by themselves, which is
generally the goal anyway. But #includes and forward declarations
were often incomplete.
* Add #includes and forward declarations
* Add IWYU pragma: export in a few places
* Remove some unused #includes (but there are many more)
* Tweak ShaderCreateInfo macros to work better with clangd
Some types of headers still have errors, these could be fixed or
worked around with more investigation. Mostly preprocessor
template headers like NOD_static_types.h.
Note that that disabling WITH_UNITY_BUILD is required for clangd to
work properly, otherwise compile_commands.json does not contain
the information for the relevant source files.
