Unlimited number of textures for Cycles

This patch allows for an unlimited number of textures in Cycles where the hardware allows. It replaces a number static arrays with dynamic arrays and changes the way the flat_slot indices are calculated. Eventually, I'd like to get to a point where there are only flat slots left and textures off all kinds are stored in a single array.

Note that the arrays in DeviceScene are changed from containing device_vector<T> objects to device_vector<T>* pointers. Ideally, I'd like to store objects, but dynamic resizing of a std:vector in pre-C++11 calls the copy constructor, which for a good reason is not implemented for device_vector. Once we require C++11 for Cycles builds, we can implement a move constructor for device_vector and store objects again.

The limits for CUDA Fermi hardware still apply.
