This way we prevent cracks in the model due to discontinuous normals, by using
smooth normals for displacement instead of always getting flat normals after
linear subdivision.

NOTE: this is only the first of many patches towards completing the subdivison
and displacement system in Cycles. These patches will be reviewed and committed
one by one over the coming weeks.

Not the most memory efficient way to store these things but it's simple and
implementing it better requires some work to natively support subd grids as
a primitive in some way.
It was never fully implemented and will be replaced by OpenSubdiv. Only linear
subdivision remains now. Also includes some refactoring in the split/dice code,
adding a SubdParams struct to pass around parameters more easily.
* Revert r57203 (len() renaming)
There seems to be a problem with nVidia OpenCL after this and I haven't figured out the real cause yet.
Better to selectively enable native length() later, after figuring out what's wrong.
This fixes [#35612].
* Rename some math functions:
len -> length
len_squared -> length_squared
normalize_len -> normalize_length
* This way OpenCL uses its inbuilt length() function, rather than our own. The other two functions have been renamed for consistency.
* Tested CPU, CUDA and OpenCL compile, should be no functional changes.
should be no functional changes yet. UV, tangent and intercept are now stored
as attributes, with the intention to add more like multiple uv's, vertex
colors, generated coordinates and motion vectors later.
Things got a bit messy due to having both triangle and curve data in the same
mesh data structure, which also gives us two sets of attributes. This will get
cleaned up when we split the mesh class.
Most of the changes are related to adding support for motion data throughout
the code. There's some code for actual camera/object motion blur raytracing
but it's unfinished (it badly slows down the raytracing kernel even when the
option is turned off), so that code it disabled still.
Motion vector export from Blender tries to avoid computing derived meshes
when the mesh does not have a deforming modifier, and it also won't store
motion vectors for every vertex if only the object or camera is moving.
