Rewrote bsdf2klems to support tristimulus color and call wrapBSDF. Did the same for bsdf2ttree. Function specifications still gray only. + +Reduced a problem where rvu or rholo would be slow to quit when +run with many processes on a large model or one with a large +ambient file (taking lots of memory). We were waiting for +processes to quit one-by-one, which takes some time for each +process as it disentangles its shared memory. We now +wait for all the processes together, so they can disentangle +in parallel. It can still take up to a minute in some cases, +but not 10 minutes like it was taking before the fix. + +Enabled ambient cache value corral for all levels, not just final two. +This may reduce errors in certain pathological scenes.
