Vector mapping node was doing some weird mapping of both original and mapped
coordinates. Mapping of original coordinates was caused by the clamping nature
of the LUT generated from the node. Mapping of the mapped value again was quite
totally obscure -- one needed to constantly keep in mind that actual value will
be scaled up and moved down.
This commit makes it so values in the vector curve mapping are always absolute.
In fact, it is now behaving quite the same as RGB curve mapping node and the
code could be de-duplicated. Keeping the code duplicated for a bit so it's more
clear what exact parts of the node changed.

Previously RGB Curves node will clamp input to 0..1 which is rather useless
when one wants to use HDR image textures and do bit of correction on them.
Now kernel code supports extrapolation of baked LUT based on first/last two
table points and performs linear extrapolation.
The only tricky part is to guess the range to bake the LUT for. Currently
it's using simple approach -- minmax of the input curves. While this behaves
ok for the simple cases it's easy to trick the system up causing incorrect
results.
Not sure we can solve those issues in a general case and since the new code
is giving more expected results it's not that bad actually. In the worst
case artist migh always create explicit point to make sure LUT is created
for the needed HDR range.

This more a workaround for CUDA optimizer which can't optimize clamp(x, 0, 1)
into a single instruction and uses 4 instructions instead.
Original patch by @lockal with own modification:
Don't make changes outside of the kernel. They don't make any difference
anyway and term saturate() has a bit different meaning outside of kernel.
This gives around 2% of speedup in Barcelona file, but in more complex shader
setups with lots of math nodes with clamping speedup could be much nicer.

This to avoids build conflicts with libc++ on FreeBSD, these __ prefixed values
are reserved for compilers. I apologize to anyone who has patches or branches
and has to go through the pain of merging this change, it may be easiest to do
these same replacements in your code and then apply/merge the patch.
Ref T37477.
OSL noise() function is generating NaN's in certain cases, fix for that goes to our
OSL branch.
Also add missing minimum weight and max closure checks to OSL, forgot to add these
when fixing another bug.
