Coarse meshes with high polycount would show as corrupted when GPU
subdivision is used with AMD cards This was caused by the OpenSubdiv
library not taking `GL_MAX_COMPUTE_WORK_GROUP_COUNT` into account when
dispatching computes. AMD drivers tend to set the limit lower than
NVidia ones (2^16 for the former, and 2^32 for the latter, at least
on my machine).
This moves the `GLComputeEvaluator` from the OpenSubdiv library into
`intern/opensubdiv` and modifies it to compute a dispatch size in a
similar way as for the draw code: we split the dispatch size into a 2
dimensional value based on `GL_MAX_COMPUTE_WORK_GROUP_COUNT` and
manually compute an index in the shader.
We could have patched the OpenSubdiv library and sent the fix upstream
(which can still be done), however, moving it to our side allows us to
better control the `GLComputeEvaluator` and in the future remove some
redundant work that it does compared to Blender (see T94644) and
probably prepare the ground for Vulkan support. As a matter of fact,
this patch also removes the OpenGL initialization that OpenSubdiv would
do here. This removal is not related to the bug fix, but necessary to not
have to copy more files/code over.

This fixes VR pink screen issues when using the DirectX backend, caused
by `wglDXRegisterObjectNV()` failing to register the shared
OpenGL-DirectX render buffer. The issue is mainly present on AMD
graphics, however, there have been reports on NVIDIA as well.
A limited workaround for the SteamVR runtime (AMD only) was provided
in rB82ab2c167844, however this patch provides a more complete solution
that should apply to all OpenXR runtimes. For example, with this patch,
the Windows Mixed Reality runtime that exclusively uses DirectX can now
be used with AMD graphics cards.
Implementation-wise, a `GL_TEXTURE_2D` render target is used as a
fallback for the shared OpenGL-DirectX resource in the case that
registering a render buffer (`GL_RENDERBUFFER`) fails. While using a
texture render target may be less optimal than a render buffer, it
enables proper display in VR using the OpenGL/DirectX interop (tested
on AMD Vega 64).

GLUT does not support offscreen contexts, which is required for the new
display driver. So we use SDL instead. Note that this requires using a
system SDL package, the Blender precompiled SDL does not include the video
subsystem.
There is currently no text display support, instead info is printed to
the terminal. This would require adding an embedded font and GLSL shaders,
or using GUI library.
Another improvement to be made is supporting OpenColorIO display transforms,
right now we assume Rec.709 scene linear and display.
All OpenGL, GLEW and SDL code was move out of core cycles and into
app/opengl. This serves as a template for apps that want to integrate
Cycles interactive rendering, with a simple OpenGLDisplayDriver example.
In general this would be adapted to the graphics API and color management
used by the app.

Instead of creating and destroying threads when starting and stopping renders,
keep a single thread alive for the duration of the session. This makes it so all
display driver OpenGL resource allocation and destruction can happen in the same
thread.
This was implemented as part of trying to solve another bug, but it did not
help. Still I prefer this behavior, to eliminate potential future issues wit
graphics drivers or with future Cycles display driver implementations.

For reasons unclear, destroying and then recreating a vertex buffer in the
render OpenGL context is affecting the immediate mode vertex buffer in the
draw manager OpenGL context.
Instead just create a single vertex buffer and use it for the lifetime of
the render OpenGL context. There's not really any need to have a separate
one per tile as far as I can tell.

When using a RGBA16 (`GL_RGBA16`, `DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_UNORM`)

This can occur when using the SteamVR runtime with an AMD graphics card

Workaround is to move this format after the Quest 2-compatible RGBA16F

Crash was caused since the function pointers
`s_xrGetOpenGLGraphicsRequirementsKHR_fn`/
`s_xrGetD3D11GraphicsRequirementsKHR_fn` were static and were not
updated with the correct proc address after being set the first time.
As stated in the OpenXR spec: "function pointers returned by
xrGetInstanceProcAddr using one XrInstance may not be valid when used
with objects related to a different XrInstance".
Although it would seem reasonable that the proc address would not
change if the instance was the same (hence the `static XrInstance s_instance;`),
in testing, repeated calls to `xrGetInstanceProcAddress()`
with the same instance still can result in changes (at least for the
SteamVR runtime) so the workaround is to simply set the function pointers
every time, essentially trivializing their `static` designations.

There are two things achieved by this change:
- No possible downcast of size_t to int when calculating motion steps.
- Disambiguate call to `min()` which was for some reason considered
ambiguous on 32bit platforms `min(int, unsigned int)`.
- Do the same for the `max()` call to keep them symmetrical.
On an implementation side the `min()` is defined for a fixed width
integer type to disambiguate uint from size_t on 32bit platforms,
and yet be able to use it for 32bit operands on 64bit platforms without
upcast.
This ended up in a bit bigger change as the conditional compile-in of
functions is easiest if the functions is templated. Making the functions
templated required to remove the other source of ambiguity which is
`algorithm.h` which was pulling min/max from std.
Now it is the `math.h` which is the source of truth for min/max.
It was only one place which was relying on `algorithm.h` for these
functions, hence the choice of `math.h` as the safest and least
intrusive.
