Dalai Felinto d7fbe03a8a Fisheye Camera for Cycles
For sample images see:

The 'use_panorama' option is now part of a new Camera type: 'Panorama'.
Created two other panorama cameras:

- Equisolid: most of lens in the market simulate this lens - e.g. Nikon, Canon, ...)
             this works as a real lens up to an extent. The final result takes the
             sensor dimensions into account also.
             .:. to simulate a Nikon DX2S with a 10.5mm lens do:
                 sensor: 23.7 x 15.7
                 fisheye lens: 10.5
                 fisheye fov: 180
                 render dimensions: 4288 x 2848

- Equidistant: this is not a real lens model. Although the old equidistant lens simulate
               this lens. The result is always as a circular fisheye that takes the whole sensor
               (in other words, it doesn't take the sensor into consideration).
               This is perfect for fulldomes ;)

               For the UI we have 10 to 360 as soft values and 10 to 3600 as hard values (because we can).

Note, this is not a real simulation of the light path through the lens.
The ideal solution would be this:

Thanks Brecht for the fix, suggestions and code review.
Kudos for the dome community for keeping me stimulated on the topic since 2009 ;)

Patch partly implemented during lab time at VisGraf, IMPA - Rio de Janeiro.
