[Bf-cycles] Monte Carlo variance denoising

[Jean-Marie Aubry]

Hi there,

This denoising technique is most likely based on the papers by Rousselle et
al., for instance *Robust Denoising using Feature and Color Information*
(Pacific Graphics 2013). It works quite well (I have work on an
implementation that is not Innobright's). It doesn't have to be tied to any
specific renderer, just needs the beauty image do be denoised, some feature
aovs and an estimation of their variance. So, imho it could be made into a
node independent from the renderer.
