Cycles: refactor culling code into utility class.

Cycles: distance culling for objects.

This can be used together with camera culling to keep nearby objects visible in
reflections, using a minimum distance within which objects are visible. It is
also useful to cull small objects far from the camera.

Cycles: Different noise seed for stereoscopic rendering (Fix #T50024)

Patch by Sergey Sharybin.

Cycles: Fix different noise pattern from fix in T49838:

No need to hash subframe == 0.

Fix T50001: auto tile size addon broken after Cycles GPU device changes.

Adds a get_num_gpu_devices() utility function for the addon to use.

Atomics: Make naming more obvious about which value is being returned

Fix T49904: Cycles standalone missing default generated texture coordinates.

Cycles: De-duplicate image loading functions

The code was templated already, so don't see big reason to have
3 versions of templated functions. It was giving some extra code
to maintain and in fact already had divergency for support of huge
image resolution (missing size_t cast in byte image loading).

There should be no changes visible by artists.

Fix Cycles OSL compilation based on modified time not working.

Fix T49838: Noise randomization for frame should be done per interframes as well

Add subframe to the animated seed hash calculation.

Should be no difference for the regular files, only for cases when scene is
rendered from sequencer with a speed effect, which is not really a common thing.

Fix T49985: cycles standalone XML missing distant lights.

Fix Cycles standalone not finding CPU device after recent changes.

Cycles: Add comments to endif directives

`kernel_path.h` and `kernel_path_branched.h` have a lot of conditional code and
it was kind of hard to tell what code belonged to which directive. Should be
easier to read now.

Fix T49985: cycles standalone using wrong socket names for XML reading.

Cycles: Only use new light sample threshold for new files

This is a late follow-up commit to the light sample threshold changes which
caused difference in rendering all existing .blend files which is not something
we are happy about: it is fine to use new optimized defaults for new files, but
existing ones should always be rendering in the same way as they used to be.

Sorry for the inconveniece, but such thing should have been done to begin with.
If this setting was modified it will not be reset to zero.

Now all render tests should be passing again.

P.S. Also really annoying to bump subversion for such reasons, but currently we
don't have better way to achieve what we want.

Cycles: Remove device settings from performance tab

This was included in the commit by accident, it doesn't belong there.

Cycles: Fix T49952: Bad MIS sampling of backgrounds with single bright pixels

With this fix, using a MIS map resolution equal to the image size for closest imterpolation or twice the size for linear interpolation gets rid of all fireflies.
Previously, a much higher resolution was needed to get acceptable noise levels.

Fix compilation error when CUDA toolkit is not installed

After CUDA dynload changes having CUDA toolkit became required
in order to compile Cycles. This only happened due to wrong
default value to the option.

Cycles: Refactor Device selection to allow individual GPU compute device selection

Previously, it was only possible to choose a single GPU or all of that type (CUDA or OpenCL).
Now, a toggle button is displayed for every device.
These settings are tied to the PCI Bus ID of the devices, so they're consistent across hardware addition and removal (but not when swapping/moving cards).

From the code perspective, the more important change is that now, the compute device properties are stored in the Addon preferences of the Cycles addon, instead of directly in the User Preferences.
This allows for a cleaner implementation, removing the Cycles C API functions that were called by the RNA code to specify the enum items.

Note that this change is neither backwards- nor forwards-compatible, but since it's only a User Preference no existing files are broken.
