f25f7c8030 Cycles: Re-implement some utilities to avoid use of boost
The title says it all actually, the idea is to make Cycles
only requiring Boost via 3rd party dependencies like OIIO
and OSL.

So now there are only few places which still uses Boost:

- Foreach, function bindings and threading primitives.

  Those we can easily get rid with C++11 bump (which seems
  inevitable sooner or later if we'll want ot use newer
  LLVM for OSL),

- Networking devices

  There's no quick solution for those currently, but there
  are some patches around which improves serialization.

5ff132182d Cycles: Code cleanup, spaces around keywords
This inconsistency drove me totally crazy, it's really confusing
when it's inconsistent especially when you work on both Cycles and
Blender sides.

Shouldn;t cause merge PITA, it's whitespace changes only, Git should
be able to merge it nicely.

ee36e75b85 Cleanup: Fix Cycles Apache header.
This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.

2d0a586c29 Cycles OpenCL: keep the opencl context and program around for quicker rendering
the second time, as for example Intel CPU startup time is 9 seconds.

* Adds an cache for contexts and programs for each platform and device pair,
  which also ensure now no two threads try to compile and write the binary cache
  file at the same time.
* Change clFinish to clFlush so we don't block until the result is done, instead
  it will block at the moment we copy back memory.
* Fix error in Cycles time_sleep implementation, does not affect any active code
  though.
* Adds some (disabled) debugging code in the task scheduler.

Patch #35559 by Doug Gale.

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/
* Sobol direction vectors from:
http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~fkuo/sobol/
* Film response functions from:
