Sergey Sharybin 6b15792508 Cycles: Switch to CUDA 13 and enable DLSS
The commit switches Cycles to use CUDA-13 by default, which makes it
easier to add support for CUDA on Windows arm64 platform.

This commit also enables Cycles DLSS denoising, make Blender ready to
utilize this technology as soon as an updated Nvidia driver is releases
with the required runtime.

The changes are coupled together because they required changes on the
buildbot system side: the SDK's needed to be installed, and the
information about them somehow needed to be passed to Blender. To make
similar deployments easier in the future this change makes it so the SDK
versions from

  build_files/config/pipeline_config.yaml

to

  build_files/buildbot/config/blender_version.cmake

Buildbot provides information about root directory where the specific
SDKs are installed, giving flexibility to the buildbot to move things
around if needed, but also making it more control to Blender developers
to tweak the logic.

Last but not least, the way how CUDA toolkit is selected for Cycles
kernels got refactored to make it easier to follow:

- There is an easy to follow table of per-architecture or family
  toolkits.
- If there is no architectural preference, all provided toolkits are
  probed. For SM kernels newer toolkits are tested first, and for
  COMPUTE the oldest toolkits are probed first.
- If there is no suitable toolkit with explicit major version the
  default one is used.

A driver version 580 and above is now required. From quick checks it
seems that on Windows it shouldn't be a problem since 582 driver is
available for sm_50 devices (the oldest architecture we compile).
