Simplifies intersection code a little and slightly improves precision regarding
self intersection.
The parametric texture coordinate in shader nodes is still the same as before
for compatibility.
For transparency, volume and light intersection rays, adjust these distances
rather than the ray start position. This way we increment the start distance
by the smallest possible float increment to avoid self intersections, and be
sure it works as the distance compared to be will be exactly the same as
before, due to the ray start position and direction remaining the same.

This completes support for tiled texture packing on the Blender / Cycles
side of things.
Most of these changes fall into one of three categories:
- Updating Image handling code to pack/unpack tiled and multi-view images
- Updating Cycles to handle tiled textures through BlenderImageLoader
- Updating OSL to properly handle textures with multiple slots

Inspired by D12936 and D12929, this patch adds general purpose
"Combine Color" and "Separate Color" nodes to Geometry, Compositor,
Shader and Texture nodes.
- Within Geometry Nodes, it replaces the existing "Combine RGB" and
"Separate RGB" nodes.
- Within Compositor Nodes, it replaces the existing
"Combine RGBA/HSVA/YCbCrA/YUVA" and "Separate RGBA/HSVA/YCbCrA/YUVA"
nodes.
- Within Texture Nodes, it replaces the existing "Combine RGBA" and
"Separate RGBA" nodes.
- Within Shader Nodes, it replaces the existing "Combine RGB/HSV" and
"Separate RGB/HSV" nodes.
Python addons have not been updated to the new nodes yet.
**New shader code**
In node_color.h, color.h and gpu_shader_material_color_util.glsl,
missing methods hsl_to_rgb and rgb_to_hsl are added by directly
converting existing C code. They always produce the same result.
**Old code**
As requested by T96219, old nodes still exist but are not displayed in
the add menu. This means Python scripts can still create them as usual.
Otherwise, versioning replaces the old nodes with the new nodes when
opening .blend files.

Eevee does not yet support rendering point clouds, but an untested
implementation of this node was added for when it does.
Ref T92573
This add support for rendering of the point cloud object in Blender, as a native
geometry type in Cycles that is more memory and time efficient than instancing
sphere meshes. This can be useful for rendering sand, water splashes, particles,
motion graphics, etc.
Points are currently always rendered as spheres, with backface culling. More
shapes are likely to be added later, but this is the most important one and can
be customized with shaders.
For CPU rendering the Embree primitive is used, for GPU there is our own
intersection code. Motion blur is suppored. Volumes inside points are not
currently supported.
Implemented with help from:
* Kévin Dietrich: Alembic procedural integration
* Patrick Mourse: OptiX integration
* Josh Whelchel: update for cycles-x changes

When rendering volume surfaces in unbounded worlds the volume stepping can produce large values. If used with a magic texture node the values can results in a Inf float which when used in a sin or cos produces a NaN.
To fix this the input values are mapped into the periodic range of the sin and cos functions (-2*PI 2*PI) this stops the possibility of a Inf occurring and thus the NaN. It also improves the accuracy and smoothness of the result due to loss of precision when large values are summed with smaller ones effectively removing the parts of the smaller number (i.e. those in the -2PI to 2PI range) that result in variation of the output of sin and cos.

We run into float precision issues here, clamp the number of octaves to
one less, which has little to no visual difference. This was empirically
determined to work up to 16 before, but with additional inputs like
roughness only 15 appears to work.
Also adds misisng clamp for the geometry nodes implementation.
Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
The motivation for this is twofold. It improves performance (5-10% on most
benchmark scenes), and will help to bring back transparency support for the
ambient occlusion pass.
* Duplicate some members from the main path state in the shadow path state.
* Add shadow paths incrementally to the array similar to what we do for
the shadow catchers.
* For the scheduling, allow running shade surface and shade volume kernels
as long as there is enough space in the shadow paths array. If not, execute
shadow kernels until it is empty.
* Add IntegratorShadowState and ConstIntegratorShadowState typedefs that
can be different between CPU and GPU. For GPU both main and shadow paths
juse have an integer for SoA access. Bt with CPU it's a different pointer
type so we get type safety checks in code shared between CPU and GPU.
* For CPU, add a separate IntegratorShadowStateCPU struct embedded in
IntegratorShadowState.
* Update various functions to take the shadow state, and make SVM take either
type of state using templates.

There is not enough time before the release to improve Random Walk to handle
all cases this was used for, so restore it for now.
Since there is no more path splitting in cycles-x, this can increase noise in
non-flat areas for the sample number of samples, though fewer rays will be traced
also. This is fundamentally a trade-off we made in the new design and why Random
Walk is a better fit. However the importance resampling we do now does help to
reduce noise.

This bumps OSL to 1.11.10.0. OSL Has a new build time
dependency: Clang, and more importantly it expects
clang and llvm to share a library folder, which it
previously for us did not.
This patch changes:
-OSL Update to 1.11.10.0
-refactor the llvm/clang/clang-tools-extra builds into the llvm
build using the llvm-project tarball for building that has all
of the subprojects in it.
-update ispc/openmp builds since clang no longer its own dependency
and they have to depend on the llvm build now.
-Update the windows builder to use the 64 bit host tools since it
ran out of ram linking clang
-Since OSL now needs clang to link successfully a findclang.cmake
has been provided for linux/OSX

This is relatively expensive and as per the OSL spec, this value is not
expected to be meaningful for non-light shaders. This makes viewport updates
a little faster.

This separates out PugiXML that was previously
bundled by OIIO.
As this linux/mac libs are not available
this commit only contains the builder and windows
changes, and the option to enable pugixml is
guarded by a platform if, this can be removed
once all platforms have committed the svn libs.
