This patch adds an AVX implementation of Perlin noise in Cycles. An avxi type was also added as a utility based on the respective type in Intel Embree. Only 3D and 4D noise were implemented, there is no benefit for utilizing AVX in 1D and 2D noise. The SSE trilinear interpolation function was used in the AVX implementation because there is no benefit from using AVX in interpolating the last three dimensions.
