The `MultiDevice` implementation of `get_cpu_osl_memory` returns a
nullptr when there is no CPU device in the mix. As such access to that
crashed in `update_osl_globals`. But that only updates maps that are not
currently used on the GPU anyway, so can just skip that when the CPU
is not used for rendering.

Paths to vulkan libraries, paths and related components were
hardcoded in the platform cmake file. This patch separates
this by using adding CMake modules for Vulkan and ShaderC.
This change has only been applied to the macOs configuration as
that is currently our main platform for development. Other platforms
will be added during the development of the Vulkan back-end.
Removing all OSL script nodes from the shader graph would cause that
graph to no longer report it using `KERNEL_FEATURE_SHADER_RAYTRACE`
via `ShaderManager::get_graph_kernel_features`, but the shader object
itself still would have the `has_surface_raytrace` field set.
This caused kernels to be reloaded without shader raytracing support, but
later the `DEVICE_KERNEL_INTEGRATOR_SHADE_SURFACE_RAYTRACE`
kernel would still be invoked since the shader continued to report it
requiring that through the `SD_HAS_RAYTRACE` flag set because of
`has_surface_raytrace`.
Fix that by ensuring `has_surface_raytrace` is reset on every shader update,
so that when all OSL script nodes are deleted it is set to false, and only
stays true when there are still OSL script nodes (or other nodes using it).

Based on "Sampling the GGX Distribution of Visible Normals" by Eric Heitz
(https://jcgt.org/published/0007/04/01/).
Also, this removes the lambdaI computation from the Beckmann sampling code and
just recomputes it below. We already need to recompute for two other cases
(GGX and clearcoat), so this makes the code more consistent.
In terms of performance, I don't expect a notable impact since the earlier
computation also was non-trivial, and while it probably was slightly more
accurate, I'd argue that being consistent between evaluation and sampling is
more important than absolute numerical accuracy anyways.

This gives closer results to what I've seen in papers and other renderers when
using the code to precompute albedo later (to replace MultiGGX).
It's usually a tiny difference, the only case where I've seen it matter is
in the `shader/node_group_float.blend` test - but that's a (single-scatter) GGX
closure with 0.9 roughness, so it's not too surprising. In any case, the new
result looks closer to Eevee, so that's good I guess.

Increasing the precision of cosf fixes it.
A noticeable (>5%) performance regression in oneAPI backend came with

compiler from driver 101.4032 fixes it.
I've tested it with current min-supported drivers and it runs well but
since compatibility of graphics compiler with older drivers isn't
guaranteed, I'm also bumping the min-supported driver versions.
If end-users consider latest drivers too fresh to switch to (version
isn't released as stable on Linux as of today but should be before
Blender 3.5 release), CYCLES_ONEAPI_ALL_DEVICES=1 env variable can be
used.
Intel Graphics Compiler on Linux will be updated in a later commit
so we can then close D16984.

Improve handling for cases where maximum in-flight command buffer count is exceeded. This can occur during light-baking operations. Ensures the application handles this gracefully and also improves workload pipelining by situationally stalling until GPU work has completed, if too much work is queued up.
This may have a tangible benefit for T103742 by ensuring Blender does not queue up too much GPU work.

This isn't correct as window activation is handled separately
from the cursor entering/leaving a window.
This would call de-activate when the cursor moved outside the window
even though the window remained focused.
Rely on focus changes which already handle activate/deactivate events.
Swap-buffers was being deferred (to prevent it being called
from the event handling thread) however when it was called the
OpenGL context might not be active (especially with multiple windows).
Moving the cursor between windows made eglSwapBuffers report:
EGL Error (0x300D): EGL_BAD_SURFACE.
Resolve this by removing swapBuffer calls and instead add a
GHOST_kEventWindowUpdateDecor event intended for redrawing
client-side-decoration.
Besides the warning, this results an error with LIBDECOR window frames
not redrawing when a window became inactive.
The background evaluation samples the sky discretely, so if the sun is
too small, it can be missed in the evaluation. To solve this, the sun is
ignored during the background evaluation and its contribution is
computed separately.
The lookup table method on CPU and the numerical root finding method on
GPU give quite different results. This commit deletes the Beckmann lookup

This makes it possible to use `texture` and `texture3d` in custom
OSL shaders with a constant image file name as argument on the
GPU, where previously texturing was only possible through Cycles
nodes.
For constant file name arguments, OSL calls
`OSL::RendererServices::get_texture_handle()` with the file name
string to convert it into an opaque handle for use on the GPU.
That is now used to load the respective image file using the Cycles
image manager and generate a SVM handle that can be used on
the GPU. Some care is necessary as the renderer services class is
shared across multiple Cycles instances, whereas the Cycles image
manager is local to each.

This patch adds markup to specify that certain kernel data constants should not be specialised. Currently it is used for `tabulated_sobol_sequence_size` and `sobol_index_mask` which change frequently based on the aa sample count, trash the shader cache, and have little bearing on performance.

User notifications in Blender were always annoying and therefore by default turned off.
- When tweaking compositor/material tree a notification was shown.
- When rendering an animation for each frame a notification was shown.
The reason for this was that it was automatically shown when a background job was
finished and Blender wasn't the top most application.
In stead of migrating user notification to UserNotification.framework it was decided
to remove it for now. If in the future notifications should be added back we should
start with a design to figure out where notifications makes sense.

Cycles converts internal links to converter nodes which don't do anything and
later on get collapsed by the graph optimization. However, the previous code
assumed that one Blender input socket maps to one Cycles input socket.
When a node is muted, there might be internal links from one input to multiple
outputs. In Cycles, this meant that one Blender input socket now mapped to
multiple input sockets on all the converter nodes, so only the last one survived.
THe fix is simple, just make the mapping a MultiMap.
The problem here is that whether an object is a shadow catcher or not affects the
visibility flags, but changes to the shadow catcher property did not trigger a

With the GPU API the sampler can not be set after texture binding, which caused

OpenGL is deprecated by Apple and triggers a warning when used. The goal

Temporarily using the wrong window scale when disconnecting a monitor
on configurations that use different DPI per monitor is a minor enough
issue that I don't think it makes sense to workaround in GHOST.
Wayland requires the windows surface size is divisible by the surface
scale. This wasn't guaranteed when creating new temporary windows.
This meant opening the preferences could exit Blender with an error
with Hi-DPI configurations.
**Changes**
As described in T93602, this patch removes all use of the `MVert`
struct, replacing it with a generic named attribute with the name
`"position"`, consistent with other geometry types.
Variable names have been changed from `verts` to `positions`, to align
with the attribute name and the more generic design (positions are not
vertices, they are just an attribute stored on the point domain).
This change is made possible by previous commits that moved all other
data out of `MVert` to runtime data or other generic attributes. What
remains is mostly a simple type change. Though, the type still shows up
859 times, so the patch is quite large.
One compromise is that now `CD_MASK_BAREMESH` now contains
`CD_PROP_FLOAT3`. With the general move towards generic attributes
over custom data types, we are removing use of these type masks anyway.
**Benefits**
The most obvious benefit is reduced memory usage and the benefits
that brings in memory-bound situations. `float3` is only 3 bytes, in
comparison to `MVert` which was 4. When there are millions of vertices
this starts to matter more.
The other benefits come from using a more generic type. Instead of
writing algorithms specifically for `MVert`, code can just use arrays
of vectors. This will allow eliminating many temporary arrays or
wrappers used to extract positions.
Many possible improvements aren't implemented in this patch, though
I did switch simplify or remove the process of creating temporary
position arrays in a few places.
The design clarity that "positions are just another attribute" brings
allows removing explicit copying of vertices in some procedural
operations-- they are just processed like most other attributes.
**Performance**
This touches so many areas that it's hard to benchmark exhaustively,
but I observed some areas as examples.
* The mesh line node with 4 million count was 1.5x (8ms to 12ms) faster.
* The Spring splash screen went from ~4.3 to ~4.5 fps.
* The subdivision surface modifier/node was slightly faster
RNA access through Python may be slightly slower, since now we need
a name lookup instead of just a custom data type lookup for each index.
**Future Improvements**
* Remove uses of "vert_coords" functions:
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_alloc`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_get`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_apply{_with_mat4}`
* Remove more hidden copying of positions
* General simplification now possible in many areas
* Convert more code to C++ to use `float3` instead of `float[3]`
* Currently `reinterpret_cast` is used for those C-API functions
