0579eaae1f Cycles: Make all #include statements relative to cycles source directory
The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.

For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.

Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.

This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.

Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

272412f9c0 Cycles: Implement texture size limit simplify option
Main intention is to give some quick way to control scene's memory
usage by clamping textures which are too big. This is really handy
on the early production stages when you first create really nice
looking hi-res textures and only when it all works and approved
start investing time on optimizing your scene.

This is a new option in Scene Simplify panel and it acts as
following: when texture size is bigger than the given value it'll
be scaled down by half for until it fits into given limit.

There are various possible improvements, such as:

- Use threaded scaling using our own task manager.

  This is actually one of the main reasons why image resize is
  manually-implemented instead of using OIIO's resize. Other
  reason here is that API seems limited to construct 3D texture
  description easily.

- Vectorization of uchar4/float4/half4 textures.

- Use something smarter than box filter.

  Was playing with some other filters, but not sure they are
  really better: they kind of causes more fuzzy edges.

Even with such a TODOs in the code the option is already quite
useful.

ee36e75b85 Cleanup: Fix Cycles Apache header.
This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.
