[Bf-cycles] Cycles Shader::has_surface , has_surface_emission, has_surface_transparent flags

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi,
these flags all tell Cycles which kind of shaders are used (Do we have a 
Surface (or only volume), Emission or a Transparent BSDF)?

They are set and checked for in various places in render/ e.g. 
shader.cpp, light.cpp ...

Again, please just search the code yourself. You should really be able 
to search a codebase for a variable. That is not magic.
