The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.
For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.
Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.
This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.
Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

This makes the code a bit easier to understand, and might come in handy
if we want to reuse more Embree code.

Code by Brecht, with fixes by Lockal, Sergey and myself.
* UI: Remove deprecated condition (CURVE_RIBBONS) and hide backface property, when it's hardcoded in C (Curve/Line segments && Ribbons).
* Remove "use_tangent_normal" and "CURVE_KN_TANGENTGNORMAL" as its unused (follow up for last commit).
- Removed the cycles subdivision and interpolation of hairkeys.
- Removed the parent settings.
- Removed all of the advanced settings and presets.
- This simplifies the UI to a few settings for the primitive type and a shape mode.
Code is added to restrict the pixel size of strands in cycles. It works best with ribbon primitives and a preset for these is included. It uses distance dependent expansion of the strands and then stochastic strand removal to give a fading. To prevent a slowdown for triangle mesh objects in the BVH an extra visibility flag has been added. It is also only applied for camera rays.
The strand width settings are also changed, so that the particle size is not included in the width calculation. Instead there is a separate particle system parameter for width scaling.
Added export of multiple UV coordinates and vertex colour attributes.
A debugging option to export the strands without using the cache has also been removed.
The curve segment primitive has been added. This includes an intersection function and changes to the BVH.
A few small errors in the line segment intersection routine are also fixed.
Patch [#33445] - Experimental Cycles Hair Rendering (CPU only)
This patch allows hair data to be exported to cycles and introduces a new line segment primitive to render with.
The UI appears under the particle tab and there is a new hair info node available.
It is only available under the experimental feature set and for cpu rendering.
