Merge branch 'master' into cycles-x

Fix crash in background render after tile highlight changes

Tests: measure time per frame in animation performance benchmark

Instead of a fixed number of frames, so that benchmarking takes about the
same time on any machine.

Geometry Nodes: use implicit position input in noise node

This is the same behavior as in shader nodes.

Geometry Nodes: implicit position input in Set Position node

This change makes the Set Position node do nothing by default.
Before, the geometry would always disappear, because it all points
would be moved to (0, 0, 0).

Cycles X: Remove dead resumable render code

It will be implemented differently by specifying an EXR file.

Remove the command line arguments to avoid false perception
that the resumable render still works.

WIP: Cycles X: Schedule work based on occupancy

Sacrifice refresh interval and increase GPU occupancy, lowering the
final render time.

Lowers `Blender 2.80 - Spring` demo file form predicted 30min
measured 3 min to render 1/10th of samples) to about 7.5min.

It is still considerably higher than the master branch, which finishes
the file in just below 3 min, but it is already a better results.

The timing is from RTX 5000.

The viewport and CPU rendering should stay unaffected by this change.

Cycles X: Re-implement tile highlight

Since the GPUDisplay usage for offline rendering we've lost tile
highlight functionality. This change brings it back.

Introduced new RenderEngine API call to manipulate highlight state
without acquiring RenderResult (so that we don't allocate passes).

Not fully ideal since the last tile will be highlighted after render
is done until first full-frame is done, but is a cosmetic thing we
can improve in the future.

Cycles X: make progressive multi-jitter the default sampling pattern

Now that adaptive sampling is enabled by default this was already the case in
practice, but use it now also for the non-adaptive case so the sampling patterns
stays consistent when switching that on and off.

A reason to do this now is that we will need to update all the test reference
images for the cycles-x merge, and those are all affected by the sampling pattern.

UI: Change "Favorites" to "Bookmarks"

Change of File Browser "Favorites" section header in source list
(T panel) to "Bookmarks" to maintain consistency with all the other
bookmark-related text and operations.

See D10262 for more information and alternatives considered.
