This commit makes it possible to use Glog library for the debug logging.
For now only possible when using CMake and in order to use the logging
the WITH_CYCLES_LOGGING configuration variable is to be enabled.
When this option is not enabled or when using Scons there's no difference
in Cycles behavior at all, when using logging and no output to the console
impact is gonna to be minimal.
This is done in order to make it possible to have debug logging persistent
in code (without need to add it when troubleshooting some bug and removing
it afterwards).
For now actual logging is not placed yet, only all the functions needed for
the logging are written and so.
This is rather legit case which happens i.e. when having persistent images enabled
and session is updating the lookup tables.
Now device_memory keeps track of amount of memory being allocated on the device,
which makes freeing using the proper allocated size, not the CPU side buffer
size.
Before this Cycles used to try using the cache even so it knew for the
fact that reading it from the disk failed. This change doesn't make it
more stable if someone will try to trick Cycles and give malformed data
but it solves general cases when Blender crashed during the cache write
and will preserve rendering from crashing when trying to use that partial
cache.
For now it was mainly about OpenCL wrangler being duplicated
between Cycles and Compositor, but with OpenSubdiv work those
wranglers were gonna to be duplicated just once again.
This commit makes it so Cycles and Compositor uses wranglers
from this repositories:
- https://github.com/CudaWrangler/cuew
- https://github.com/OpenCLWrangler/clew
This repositories are based on the wranglers we used before
and they'll be likely continued maintaining by us plus some
more players in the market.
Pretty much straightforward change with some tricks in the
CMake/SCons to make this libs being passed to the linker
after all other libraries in order to make OpenSubdiv linked
against those wranglers in the future.
For those who're worrying about Cycles being less standalone,
it's not truth, it's rather more flexible now and in the future
different wranglers might be used in Cycles. For now it'll
just mean those libs would need to be put into Cycles repository
together with some other libs from Blender such as mikkspace.
This is mainly platform maintenance commit, should not be any
changes to the user space.

Baking progress preview is not possible, in parts due to the way the API
was designed. But at least you get to see the progress bar while baking.

This way util_simd.cpp would not require modifications
if/when SSE2 is suddenly supported on 32bit platforms.
This also allowed to unleash some issues with util_simd.h
related on the fact that there size_t and int are actually
the same types.
* Added support for uchar4 attributes to Cycles' attribute system.
* This is used for Vertex Colors now, which saves some memory (4 unsigned characters, instead of 4 floats).
* GPU Texture Limit on sm_20 and sm_21 decreased from 95 to 94, because we need a new texture for the uchar4 attributes. This is no problem for sm_30 or newer.

This kernel is compiled with AVX2, FMA3, and BMI compiler flags. At the moment only Intel Haswell benefits from this, but future AMD CPUs will have these instructions as well.
Makes rendering on Haswell CPUs a few percent faster, only benchmarked with clang on OS X though.

This makes the code a bit easier to understand, and might come in handy
if we want to reuse more Embree code.

Code by Brecht, with fixes by Lockal, Sergey and myself.
This basically records all volumes steps, which can then later be used multiple
time to take scattering samples, without having to step through the volume
again. From the paper:
"Importance Sampling Techniques for Path Tracing in Participating Media"
This works only on the CPU, due to usage of malloc/free.
Gives ~11% speedup for hair.blend, ~10% for koro_final.blend
Also extract few common subexpressions in hair calculation.

All textures are sampled bi-linear currently with the exception of OSL there texture sampling is fixed and set to smart bi-cubic.
This patch adds user control to this setting.
Added:
- bits to DNA / RNA in the form of an enum for supporting multiple interpolations types
- changes to the image texture node drawing code ( add enum)
- to ImageManager (this needs to know to allocate second texture when interpolation type is different)
- to node compiler (pass on interpolation type)
- to device tex_alloc this also needs to get the concept of multiple interpolation types
- implementation for doing non interpolated lookup for cuda and cpu
- implementation where we pass this along to osl ( this makes OSL also do linear untill I add smartcubic to the interface / DNA/ RNA)

MSVC 2008 ignores alignement attribute when assigning from unaligned
float4 vector, returned from other function. Now Cycles uses unaligned
loads instead of casts for win32 in x86 mode.
