Cycles X: Support approximate shadow catcher with background

On a user-level this change behaves as if the approximate shadow
catcher matte pass is alpha-overed on top of background pass.
This makes it easier to combine artificial objects onto a HDRI
footage.

General idea is to "de-tour" a shadow catcher matte path to the
shade background kernel when needed.

There is some not-so-nice looking scheduling logic after the
intersect closest kernel, which seems to be the best so far from
the performance point of view.

While the shadow catcher performance case might be improved by
avoiding some redundant atomic operations, there is no performance
impact for "regular" case (numbers are on RTX 5000):

```

There seems to be 2% deviation, sometimes new code is 2% slower,
sometimes it is old code which is 2% slower.
