[Bf-cycles] ray epsilon and transparent objects

[Sergey Sharybin]

I guess it is about storing "near clip" (aka ray->tnear from some other
render engines terminology). We indeed don't have because we're pushing ray
forward on surface bounce. See ray_offset() functions for example. It has
own upsides and downsides.

There's a patch [1] where i've been experimenting with changing it to
ray->tnear approach in order to solve some numerical instabilities in the
watertight intersection code, still some work to be done there tho.

In any case, as Antony already pointed out sharing .blend file which
demonstrates the issue makes investigation much simplier.
