Cycles: enable OpenCL rendering on recent Intel GPUs

Based on testing by Intel, rendering on Iris GPUs and upcoming Xe GPUs
should work. This is enabled on Windows and Linux.

More testing is needed to verify correctness and performance in production
scenes, but our basic benchmark files seem to give correct results.
