This patch adds a new Vertex Color node. The node also returns the alpha
of the vertex color layer as an output.

This patch allows the Voronoi node to operate in 1D, 2D, and 4D space.
It also adds a Randomness input to control the randomness of the texture.
Additionally, it adds three new modes of operation:
- Smooth F1: A smooth version of F1 Voronoi with no discontinuities.
- Distance To Edge: Returns the distance to the edges of the cells.
- N-Sphere Radius: Returns the radius of the n-sphere inscribed in
the cells. In other words, it is half the distance between the
closest feature point and the feature point closest to it.
And it removes the following three modes of operation:
- F3.
- F4.
- Cracks.
The Distance metric is now called Euclidean, and it computes the actual
euclidean distance as opposed to the old method of computing the squared
euclidean distance.
This breaks backward compatibility in many ways, including the base case.

This patch rewrites the Mapping node to support dynamic inputs. The
Max and Min options have been removed. They can be added as Min and
Max Vector Math nodes manually.
Texture nodes still use the old matrix-based mapping. A new SVM node
`NODE_TEXTURE_MAPPING` has been added to preserve this functionality.
Similarly, in GLSL, a `mapping_mat4` function has been added.

This patch extends perlin noise to operate in 1D, 2D, 3D, and 4D
space. The noise code has also been refactored to be more readable.
The Color output and distortion patterns changed, so this patch
breaks backward compatibility. This is due to the fact that we
now use random offsets as noise seeds, as opposed to swizzling
and constants offsets.

OpenCL Parallel compilation only works inside Blender. When using cycles in a different setup (standaline or other software) it failed compiling kernels as they don't have the appropriate Python API and command line arguments.
This change introduces a `running_inside_blender` debug flag, that triggers out of process compilation of the kernels. Compilation still happens in subthread that enabled the preview kernels and compilation of the kernels during BVH building

This patch stitches the vertices along patch edges so that cracks can
no longer form when applying subdivision or displacement a mesh.
Subpatches are now formed in a way that ensures vertex indices along
subpatch edges are equal for adjacent subpatches. A mapping of vertices
along patch edges is built to preform stitching. Overall performance is
roughly the same, some gains were made in splitting, but some was lost
in stitching.
This fixes:
- T49049 (cracks between patches from material and uv seams)
- T49048 (discontinuous normals with true displacement)

This will be used by Optix to help the compiler figure out scoping. It is not
used by other devices currently, but worth testing if it helps there too.

The fract function in OpenCL does more than just return the fraction.
It also writes the floor to the second argument. Which wasn't put
in consideration.
Instead, we use a simple `a - floor(a)` like the Math node.

The White Noise node hashes the input and returns a random number in the
range [0, 1]. The input can be a 1D, 2D, 3D, or a 4D vector.

Add Multiply, Divide, Project, Reflect, Distance, Length, Scale, Snap,
Floor, Ceil, Modulo, Fraction, Absolute, Minimum, and Maximum operators
to the Vector Math node. The Value output has been removed from operators
whose output is a vector, and the other way around. All of those removals
has been handled properly in versioning code.
The patch doesn't include tests for the new operators. Tests will be added
in a later patch.

Before this change doing something like `--verbose 10 --debug-cycles`
did not properly set verbosity, only using those arguments in an other
way around was leading to a correct verbosity level.
When compute preemption is available we schedule more work which is more
efficient. However the CUDA driver appears to be incorrectly reporting this as
unavailable, even though it should be supported starting with Windows 10 1803
and Pascal and Turing (10x0 and 20x0) graphics cards.
This reduces render time by about a 25% difference on our benchmark scenes. On
Linux compute preemption appears to be reported correctly.
Previously, bright edges (e.g. caused by rim lighting) would sometimes get
halos around them after denoising.
This change introduces a log(1+x) highlight compression step that is performed
before denoising and reversed afterwards. That way, the denoising algorithm
itself operates in the compressed space and therefore bright edges cause less
numerical issues.
This also replaces the Use Alpha setting. We now have these alpha modes:
* Straight: store RGB and alpha channels separately with alpha acting as a
mask, also known as unassociated alpha.
* Premultiplied: transparent RGB pixels are multiplied by the alpha channel.
The natural format for renders.
* Channel Packed: different images are packed in the RGB and alpha channels,
and they should not influence each other. Channel packing is commonly used
by game engines to save memory.
* None: ignore alpha channel from the file and make image fully opaque.
Cycles OSL does not correctly support Channel Packed and None yet, we are
missing fine control over the OpenImageIO texture cache to do that.

This adds our own OSL texture handle, that has info for OIIO textures or our
own custom texture types. A filename to handle hash map is used for lookups.
This is efficient because it happens at OSL compile time, because the optimizer
can figure out constant strings and replace them with texture handles.
