Cysles: Avoid having ShaderData on the stack

This commit introduces a SSS-oriented intersection structure which is replacing
old logic of having separate arrays for just intersections and shader data and
encapsulates all the data needed for SSS evaluation.

This giver a huge stack memory saving on GPU. In own experiments it gave 25%
memory usage reduction on GTX560Ti (722MB vs. 946MB).

Unfortunately, this gave some performance loss of 20% which only happens on GPU.
This is perhaps due to different memory access pattern. Will be solved in the
future, hopefully.

Famous saying: won in memory - lost in time (which is also valid in other way
around).
