This adds support for CUDA Texture objects (also known as Bindless textures) for Kepler GPUs (Geforce 6xx and above).
This is used for all 2D/3D textures, data still uses arrays as before.
User benefits:
* No more limits of image textures on Kepler.
We had 5 float4 and 145 byte4 slots there before, now we have 1024 float4 and 1024 byte4.
This can be extended further if we need to (just change the define).
* Single channel textures slots (byte and float) are now supported on Kepler as well (1024 slots for each type).
ToDo / Issues:
* 3D textures don't work yet, at least don't show up during render. I have no idea whats wrong yet.
* Dynamically allocate bindless_mapping array?
I hope Fermi still works fine, but that should be tested on a Fermi card before pushing to master.

This way, we also save 3/4th of memory for single channel byte textures (e.g. Bump Maps).
Note: In order for this to work, the texture *must* have 1 channel only.
In Gimp you can e.g. do that via the menu: Image -> Mode -> Grayscale
Until now, single channel textures were packed into a float4, wasting 3 floats per pixel. Memory usage of such textures is now reduced by 3/4.
Voxel Attributes such as density, flame and heat benefit from this, but also Bumpmaps with one channel.
This commit also includes some cleanup and code deduplication for image loading.

Memory here went down from ~600MB to ~300MB.

Title says it all, this adds OpenCL float4 texture support.
There is a bug in the code still, I get a "Out of ressources error" on nvidia hardware here, not sure whats wrong yet.
Will investigate further, but maybe someone else has an idea. :)

This commit simplifies the code for the image arrays. Instead of having 2 arrays for float and byte textures,
we now use an array here. This simplifies the code (avoids code duplication), and makes it possible to easily extend it
with float1 and half-float types in the future.
Only tested with CPU yet, plus some cleanup / code de-duplication is still possible here.

Instead of treating Fermi GPU limits as default,
and overriding them for other devices,
we now nicely set them for each platform.
* Due to setting values for all platforms,
we don't have to offset the slot id for OpenCL anymore,
as the image manager wont add float images for OpenCL now.
* Bugfix: TEX_NUM_FLOAT_IMAGES was always 5, even for CPU,
so the code in svm_image.h clamped float textures with alpha on CPU after the 5th slot.

Currently only image loading benefits of this and will give magenta color
when image manager detects it's running out of memory.
This isn't ideal solution and can't handle all cases. For example, OOM
killer might kill process before it realized it run out of memory, but
in other cases this could prevent some crashes.

Currently OpenCL devices are packing images into a single texture,
which means technically number of textures is not limited here.
Now OpenCL will use same number of textures as CPU. If we want
to bump number of textures further, this values are to be modified
in sync.
NOTE OpenCL still does not support float textures.

some own modifications.

Currently only two mappings are supported by API, which is Repeat (old behavior)
and new Clip behavior. Internally this extension is being converted to periodic
flag which was already supported but wasn't exposed.
There's no support for OpenCL yet because of the way how we pack images into a
single texture.
Those settings are not exposed to UI or anywhere else and there should be no
functional changes so far.
This way memory overhead caused by the BVH building is not so visible and peak
memory usage will be reduced.
Implementing this idea is not so straightforward actually, because we need to
synchronize images used for true displacement before meshes. Detecting whether
image is used for true displacement is not so striaghtforward, so for now all
all displacement types will synchronize images used for them.
Such change brings memory usage from 4.1G to 4.0G with the 01_01_01_D scene
from gooseberry. With 01_01_01_G scene it's 7.6G vs. 6.8G (before and after
the patch).

Instead of 95, we can use 145 images now. This only affects Kepler and above (sm30, sm_35 and sm_50).
This can be increased further if needed, but let's first test if this does not come with a performance impact.
Originally developed during my GSoC 2013.
All textures are sampled bi-linear currently with the exception of OSL there texture sampling is fixed and set to smart bi-cubic.
This patch adds user control to this setting.
Added:
- bits to DNA / RNA in the form of an enum for supporting multiple interpolations types
- changes to the image texture node drawing code ( add enum)
- to ImageManager (this needs to know to allocate second texture when interpolation type is different)
- to node compiler (pass on interpolation type)
- to device tex_alloc this also needs to get the concept of multiple interpolation types
- implementation for doing non interpolated lookup for cuda and cpu
- implementation where we pass this along to osl ( this makes OSL also do linear untill I add smartcubic to the interface / DNA/ RNA)

Issue was caused by cycles trying to find builtin images in a main
database and in case of preview render images are not in database,
they're just referenced by shader node tree.
Now builtin images in cycles have got void* pointer to store data
needed to load builtin images.
In case ob blender session, this pointer will store pointer from
PointerRNA for image datablock and used later to construct Image
class based on this pointer.
This also saves database lookup for final render which is nice :)

This commit adds support of packed and generated images
for Cycles when using SVM backend. Movies are still not
supported. This changes also doesn't touch OSL which is
much less trivial to adopt for any images which are not
saved to disk.
Implementation details:
- When adding images to Image Manager is now possible
to mark image as builtin. Builtin images will bypass
OIIO loader and will use special loading callbacks.
- Callbacks are set by Blender Session and they're
using C++ RNA interface to obtain needed data (pixels,
dimensions, is_float flag).
- Image Manager assumes file path is used as reference
to a builtin images, but in fact currently image
datablock name is used for reference. This makes it
easy to find an image in BlendData database.
- Added some extra properties to Image RNA:
* channels, which denotes actual number of channels
in ImBuf. This is needed to treat image's pixels
correct (before it wasn't possible because API
used internal number of channels for pixels which
is in fact doesn't correlate with image depth)
* is_float, which is truth if image is stored in
float buffer of ImBuf.
- Implemented string lookup for C++ RNA collections
for cases there's no manual lookup function.
OSL is not supported because it used own image loading
and filtering routines and there's seems to be no API
to feed pre-loaded pixels directly to the library.
Think we'll either need to add some API to support
such kind of feeding or consider OSL does not have
support of packed images at all.
Movies are not supported at this moment because of lack
of RNA API to load specified frame. It's not difficult
to solve, just need to consider what to best here:
* Either write some general python interface for ImBuf
and use it via C++ API, or
* Write a PY API function which will return pixels for
given frame, or
* Use bad-level BKE_* call
Anyway, small steps, further improvements later.
