CPU code for cubic interpolation with clip texture extension only performed
texture interpolation inside the range of [0,1]. As a result, even though the
volume's color is sampled using cubic interpolation, the boundary is not
being interpolated. The GPU appears was interpolating samples that span the
clip boundary softening the edge, which the CPU now does also.
This commit also includes refactoring of 2D and 3D texture sampling in
preparation of adding new extension modes.

To make porting to other architectures easier, clarifying that this does not
need to be supported. The unused parallel_reduce implementation assumed warp
size 32, but is easy to update if we ever need it in the future.
When the light direction is not pointing away from the geometric normal and
there is a shadow terminator offset, self intersection is supposed to occur.
Fix T95462: Partly transparent objects appear to glow in the dark
The issue was caused by incorrect check for exceeded number
of transparent bounces: the same maximum distance was used
for picking up N closest intersections and counting overall
intersections count.
Now made it so intersection count is using ray distance which
matches the way how Embree and OptiX implementation works.
Benchmark result:
{F12907888}
There is no big time difference in the pabellon scene. The
Victor scene timing doesn't seem to be very reliable as the
variance in time across different benchmark runs is quite
high.

An alpha component can be specified for an object's color. This adds an alpha
socket to the object info shader node allowing for the alpha component of the
object's color to be accessed in the shader editor.

Without ray offsets intersections at neigbhoring triangles are found, as
the ray start is exactly at the vertex. There was a small offset towards
the center of the triangle, but not enough.
Now this offset computation is moved into Cycles and modified for better
results. It's still not perfect though like any offset approach, especially
with long thin triangles.
Additionaly, this uses the shadow terminate offset for AO rays now, which
helps remove some pre-existing artifacts.
Workaround for a compilation issue preventing kernels compiling for AMD GPUs: Avoid problematic use of templates on Metal by making `gpu_parallel_active_index_array` a wrapper macro, and moving `blocksize` to be a macro parameter.

A zero length vector was normalized and the resulting NaN used in further calculations.
This caused trouble on some compilers when using fast math.

Remove small ray offsets that were used to avoid self intersection, and leave
that to the newly added primitive object/prim comparison. These changes together
significantly reduce artifacts on small, large or far away objects.
The balance here is that overlapping primitives are not handled well and should
be avoided (though this was already an issue). The upside is that this is
something a user has control over, whereas the other artifacts had no good
manual solution in many cases.
There is a known issue where the Blender particle system generates overlapping
objects and in turn leads to render differences between CPU and GPU. This will
be addressed separately.
