We would previously not store the transforms that were added to the
group transform node. This would lead to pointer to allocated memory
being lost and not freed.
- Keymap items now have 'repeat' boolean which can be set
to make keymap items respond to key repeat events or not.
- Support for X11 & WIN32 (not macOS currently).
This allows for the possibility to perform actions while a key is held
and finish the action upon release.
Thanks to @Severin for review and WIN32 support.
Adds a minimal DirectX 11 Ghost context, plus some shared DirectX-OpenGL
resource interface using the NV_DX_interop2 WGL extension. From what I
know, this should be available on modern GPUs. If not, it should fail
gracefully.
There should be no user visible changes at this point.
Needed for DirectX-only OpenXR platforms (e.g. Windows Mixed Reality). I
heard there are other use-cases as well though.
It's known that this currently fails on some AMD systems, but that seems
to be fixable.
Most of this comes from the 2019 GSoC project, "Core Support of Virtual
Reality Headsets through OpenXR"
(https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/).

Enabling viewport denoising causes Cycles to use a multi-device, which always returned NULL when
asked for OSL memory and would subsequently crash. This fixes that by returning the correct OSL
memory pointer from the CPU device in the special viewport denoising multi-device.
This feature takes some inspiration from
"RenderMan: An Advanced Path Tracing Architecture for Movie Rendering" and
"A Hierarchical Automatic Stopping Condition for Monte Carlo Global Illumination"
The basic principle is as follows:
While samples are being added to a pixel, the adaptive sampler writes half
of the samples to a separate buffer. This gives it two separate estimates
of the same pixel, and by comparing their difference it estimates convergence.
Once convergence drops below a given threshold, the pixel is considered done.
When a pixel has not converged yet and needs more samples than the minimum,
its immediate neighbors are also set to take more samples. This is done in order
to more reliably detect sharp features such as caustics. A 3x3 box filter that
is run periodically over the tile buffer is used for that purpose.
After a tile has finished rendering, the values of all passes are scaled as if
they were rendered with the full number of samples. This way, any code operating
on these buffers, for example the denoiser, does not need to be changed for
per-pixel sample counts.

This commit adds bounding box support for emission objects - similarly to flow objects. Before, each effector object had to iterate over the entire domain. Bake times of scenes with multiple obstacles improved significantly with this optimization.
Other improvements that were implemented alongside the bbox feature:
- Option for subframe sampling for effector objects
- Option to enable / disable effectors (can be animated)
- Optimization for static objects. If a flow or effector object does not move and the adaptive domain is not in use, the bake time will be optimized further by reusing the flow / effector grids from the previous frame (no recalculation).
This sampling pattern is particularly suited to adaptive sampling, and will
be used for that upcoming feature.
Based on "Progressive Multi-Jittered Sample Sequences" by Per Christensen,
Andrew Kensler and Charlie Kilpatrick.

This fixes denoising being delayed until after all rendering has finished. Instead, tile-based
denoising is now part of the "RENDER" task again, so that it is all in one task and does not
cause issues with dedicated task pools where tasks are serialized.

This makes the memory allocation for the denoiser state use the memory allocator in Cycles, which
will evict textures to host memory when there is not enough space on the device. This means the
allocation for the denoiser state won't just fail if there is no more space and instead more space is
made for it to work. Also simplifies code somewhat.
Useful for cases when topology does not need to have any
crease or UV layers. Now instead of assigning callbacks
which returns zero data is possible to simply assign the
callback itself to NULL.
Don't use -ffast-math functions for libc compatibility implementation, since
then the function ends up calling itself. This may not be ideal for performance
but should be insignificant in practice.
On Linux, precompiled libraries may be made with a glibc version that is
incompatible with the system libraries that Blender is built on. To solve
this we add a few -ffast-math symbols that can be missing.

This patch adds a new user-configurable option to change at which sample viewport
denoising should kick in. Setting it to zero retains previous behavior (start immediately), while
other values will defer denoising until the particular sample has been reached. Default is now
at one, to avoid the weirdness that is AI denoising at small resolutions.
