28e6d05e09 Fix cycles crash with float image textures on CPU without AVX support.
The AVX kernel functions for reading image textures could be get used from non-AVX
kernels. These are C++ class methods and need to be marked for inlining, all other
functions are static so they don't leak into other kernels.

1578b55c27 Cycles: Move SIMD utility functions into its own file.
Recently added SSE macros for noise texture can be moved here as well, but I leave this for later.

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.

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.

5873301257 Sample as Lamp option for world shaders, to enable multiple importance sampling.
By default lighting from the world is computed solely with indirect light
sampling. However for more complex environment maps this can be too noisy, as
sampling the BSDF may not easily find the highlights in the environment map
image. By enabling this option, the world background will be sampled as a lamp,
with lighter parts automatically given more samples.

Map Resolution specifies the size of the importance map (res x res). Before
rendering starts, an importance map is generated by "baking" a grayscale image
from the world shader. This will then be used to determine which parts of the
background are light and so should receive more samples than darker parts.
Higher resolutions will result in more accurate sampling but take more setup
time and memory.

Patch by Mike Farnsworth, thanks!

5b1a42cb17 Cycles:
* Fix excessive fireflies in Velvet BSDF (patch by David).
* Disable some unused SSE code
* Remove RTTI disabling flags for now, this is giving some compile issues and
  was only needed of OSL which we're not using yet.
