This patch adds a new `falloff_type` ('Inverse Coefficients') for Lamps in
Blender-Internal and GLSL.
The current falloff modes use a formula like this inverse-square one:
`I = E × (D^2 / (D^2 + Q × r^2))`
While such a formula is simple for 3D-artists to use, it's algebraically
cumbersome to work with. Game-designers authoring their own shaders
could benefit much more by having direct control of falloff-coefficients:
`I = E × (1.0 / (coefC + coefL × r + coefQ × r^2))`
In this mode, the `distance` parameter is unused (except for 'Sphere'
mode); instead relying on the designer to mathematically-model the
falloff-behavior.
The UI has been patched like so:

We've got pixel-wide world-space derivatives which we can use in the
perspective camera sampling. This allows to get rid of two calls to
transform_direction() function.
In theory we can save two transform_perspective() calls if we'll also
save pre-calculated camera-space dx/dy.
Previously each call of this function was followed by a normaliztion, now it
is done in the function itself with an according note around the function.
Static schedule was responsible here...
Also, made a minor optimization in case adaptative (auto) subframes are enabled,
gives a few percent of speedup here.
At this point it's totally unclear why we're ignoring aperture and and rolling shutter
now for derivatives calculation but do not ignore direction change caused by stereo.
This is a bit tricky, find_package(Git) was only used to check if git is installed
and actual git command was assumed to be in the PATH (while ideally it should have
been GIT_COMMAND variable).
This commit makes re-compile output cleaner, especially when using Ninja.
Adding proper GIT_COMMAND to buildinfo.cmake is also possible via argument.

Was introduced by recent optimization. Not really sure derivatives are
intended to work like this, but better to stick to what Dalai had
originally for now.
Buffer params needs to know camera's border, otherwise it'll create full buffer.
There might be some issues with stereo camera still, but in worst case it'll
only update camera twice as far as i can tell. Not ideal, but better than no
border render at all.
This allows us to verify certificates of HTTPS connections, which is
mandatory for logins like on Blender ID.

This is a new option for panorama cameras to render
stereo that can be used in virtual reality devices
The option is available under the camera panel when Multi-View is enabled (Views option in the Render Layers panel)
Known limitations:
------------------
* Parallel convergence is not supported (you need to set a convergence distance really high to simulate this effect).
* Pivot was not supposed to affect the render but it does, this has to be looked at, but for now set it to CENTER
* Derivatives in perspective camera need to be pre-computed or we shuld get rid of kcam->dx/dy (Sergey words, I don't fully grasp the implication shere)
* This works in perspective mode and in panorama mode. However, for fully benefit from this effect in perspective mode you need to render a cube map. (there is an addon for this, developed separately, perhaps we could include it in master).
* We have no support for "neck distance" at the moment. This is supposed to help with objects at short distances.
* We have no support to rotate the "Up Axis" of the stereo plane. Meaning, we hardcode 0,0,1 as UP, and create the stereo pair related to that. (although we could take the camera local UP when rendering panoramas, this wouldn't work for perspective cameras.
* We have no support for interocular distance attenuation based on the proximity of the poles (which helps to reduce the pole rotation effect/artifact).
THIS NEEDS DOCS - both in 2.78 release log and the Blender manual.

This patch specifically dates from March 2015, as you can see in the code.blender.org post. Many thanks to all the reviewers, testers and minor sponsors who helped me maintain spherical-stereo for 1 year.
All that said, have fun with this. This feature was what got me started with Multi-View development (at the time what I was looking for was Fulldome stereo support, but the implementation is the same). In order to make this into Blender I had to make it aiming at a less-specic user-case Thus Multi-View started. (this was December 2012, during Siggraph Asia and a chat I had with Paul Bourke during the conference). I don't have the original patch anymore, but you can find a re-based version of it from March 2013, right before I start with the Multi-View project https://developer.blender.org/P332

This is a bit annoying, but FFmpeg can't deal with unaligned arrays in some
cases. There seems to be an easy workaround with using SWS_ACCURATE_RND flag
which should be harmless since we don't really scaling frames, but only
using sws_scale to change color space.
Additionally, this is what VLC is also using.
This assumed the OSX SDK version matched the OSX version, which isn't always true.
Also problematic for maintenance and would make building older Blender versions on OSX fail.
Passing in pre-defined OSX_SYSTEM is also supported,
if you have multiple and want to select one.
This patch enables libboost_iostreams and bumps the magic number to match.
