Recent versions of DPC++ dropped using the environment variable
SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_COPY_ENGINE_FOR_IN_ORDER_QUEUE=0 we were setting.
We're now also setting SYCL_PI_LEVEL_ZERO_USE_COPY_ENGINE=0 by default
to keep a consistent behavior.
Updated Embree 4 library with GPU support is required for it to be
compiled - compatiblity with Embree 3 and Embree 4 without GPU support
is maintained.
Enabling hardware raytracing is an opt-in user setting for now.

This is a minimal set of changes, allowing a lot of cleanup that can
happen afterward as it allows sycl method and objects to be used outside
of kernel.cpp.

Additionally, just stick to a pure error stating. Such messages
are aimed for developers and it is rather implied that oneAPI
rendering will be disabled.
This patch adds a new Cycles device with similar functionality to the
existing GPU devices. Kernel compilation and runtime interaction happen
via oneAPI DPC++ compiler and SYCL API.
This implementation is primarly focusing on Intel® Arc™ GPUs and other
future Intel GPUs. The first supported drivers are 101.1660 on Windows
and 22.10.22597 on Linux.
The necessary tools for compilation are:
- A SYCL compiler such as oneAPI DPC++ compiler or
https://github.com/intel/llvm
- Intel® oneAPI Level Zero which is used for low level device queries:
https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero
- To optionally generate prebuilt graphics binaries: Intel® Graphics
Compiler All are included in Linux precompiled libraries on svn:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib The same goes for
Windows precompiled binaries but for the graphics compiler, available
as "Intel® Graphics Offline Compiler for OpenCL™ Code" from
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html,
for which path can be set as OCLOC_INSTALL_DIR.
Being based on the open SYCL standard, this implementation could also be
extended to run on other compatible non-Intel hardware in the future.
