Cycles X: Experiment with tile reschedule heuristic

The idea is to add new tiles for rendering when the GPU starts to feel
hungry (as opposite of previous logic which was adding new work tiles
once the number of paths goes below certain threshold). Some motivation
behind this decision:

- There is only that many threads the GPU has. Having much more active
threads might avoid some scheduling latency, but there is limit to how
much it helps.

- Scheduling new tiles early on might have negative effect on coherency,
so allowing more paths to be terminated before re-scheduling keeps the
wavefront more coherent and efficient to be calculated.

The new code will use maximum number of threads the GPU has.
