5a35034fb3 Fix Cycles Light Passes being always enabled, own regression in Clamp commit yesterday.
KernelIntegrator just doesn't have valid data at this point, so we need to go one level deeper.

a41648c1dc Cycles: add pass alpha threshold value to render layers.
Z, Index, normal, UV and vector passes are only affected by surfaces with alpha
transparency equal to or higher than this threshold. With value 0.0 the first
surface hit will always write to these passes, regardless of transparency. With
higher values surfaces that are mostly transparent can be skipped until an opaque
surface is encountered.

58a290234b Cycles: ray visibility options now work for lamps and mesh lights, with and without
multiple importance sampling, so you can disable them for diffuse/glossy/transmission.

The Light Path node here is still weak and does not give this info. To make that
work we'd need to evaluate the shader multiple times which is slow and we can't
detect well enough when it is actually needed.

a604fb730d Cycles: mist pass added, with start/depth/falloff control. If the pass is
enabled in a render layer a Mist Pass panel will be shown in the world
properties.

e3e75b3936 Fix #31883: cycles vectors pass rendering crash with some render layers using
it and others not.

1d8c798188 Cycles: support for motion vector and UV passes.
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.

e12adeb8c9 Fix #30551: cycles passes combining did not always give identical result combined
with antialiasing/defocus, now divide out color at the very end instead of for each
sample.

f99343d3b8 Cycles: Render Passes
Currently supported passes:
* Combined, Z, Normal, Object Index, Material Index, Emission, Environment,
  Diffuse/Glossy/Transmission x Direct/Indirect/Color

Not supported yet:
* UV, Vector, Mist

Only enabled for CPU devices at the moment, will do GPU tweaks tommorrow,
also for environment importance sampling.

bae896691a Cycles:
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

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:
