Materials now have an enum to set the emission sampling method, to be
either None, Auto, Front, Back or Front & Back. This replace the
previous "Multiple Importance Sample" option.
Auto is the new default, and uses a heuristic to estimate the emitted
light intensity to determine of the mesh should be considered as a light
for sampling. Shaders sometimes have a bit of emission but treating them
as a light source is not worth the memory/performance overhead.
The Front/Back settings are not important yet, but will help when a
light tree is added. In that case setting emission to Front only on
closed meshes can help ignore emission from inside the mesh interior that
does not contribute anything.

* Replace license text in headers with SPDX identifiers.
* Remove specific license info from outdated readme.txt, instead leave details
to the source files.
* Add list of SPDX license identifiers used, and corresponding license texts.
* Update copyright dates while we're at it.
Ref D14069, T95597
Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
