This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

all the changes since intermediate changes would often fail building or tests.

Builtbot is switching over from json to yaml. Both
configuration files should be kept in sync for now.
The json file will be removed when everything works as expected.
This fixes a performance regression on Ampere cards, on specific scenes like
classroom. For cycles-x there is little difference, but this is still helpful
for LTS releases, and we need to upgrade at some point anyway.
