Bogdan Nagirniak 04bb5f9995 Render: support USD Hydra render delegates
Hydra is a rendering architecture part of USD, designed to abstract the
host application from the renderer. A renderer implementing a Hydra
render delegate can run in any host application supporting Hydra, which
now includes Blender.

For external renderers this means less code to be written, and improved
performance due to a using a C++ API instead of a Python API.

Add-ons need to subclass bpy.types.HydraRenderEngine. See the example in
the Python API docs for details.

An add-on for Hydra Storm will be included as well. This is USD's
rasterizing renderer, used in other applications like usdview. For users
it can provide a preview of USD file export, and for developers it
serves a reference.

There are still limitations and missing features, especially around
materials. The remaining to do items are tracked in #110765.

This feature was contributed by AMD.
