de9dffc61e Cycles: initial subsurface multiple scattering support. It's not working as
well as I would like, but it works, just add a subsurface scattering node and
you can use it like any other BSDF.

It is using fully raytraced sampling compatible with progressive rendering
and other more advanced rendering algorithms we might used in the future, and
it uses no extra memory so it's suitable for complex scenes.

Disadvantage is that it can be quite noisy and slow. Two limitations that will
be solved are that it does not work with bump mapping yet, and that the falloff
function used is a simple cubic function, it's not using the real BSSRDF
falloff function yet.

The node has a color input, along with a scattering radius for each RGB color
channel along with an overall scale factor for the radii.

There is also no GPU support yet, will test if I can get that working later.

7c0a0bae79 Fix #33375: OSL geom:trianglevertices gave wrong coordinates for static BVH.
Also some simple OSL optimization, passing thread data pointer directly instead
of via thread local storage, and creating ustrings for attribute lookup.

adea12cb01 Cycles: merge of changes from tomato branch.
Regular rendering now works tiled, and supports save buffers to save memory
during render and cache render results.

ebc653463d Cycles:
* Fix missing update when editing objects with emission materials.
* Fix preview pass rendering set to 1 not showing full resolution.
* Fix CUDA runtime compiling failing due to missing cache directory.
* Use settings from first render layer for visibility and material override.

And a bunch of incomplete and still disabled code mostly related to closure
sampling.

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
