Sync'ing the 'dev' branch with the 'feature_3.0dev' branch at commit 68c6d11fc36761ae1a5e6cdc3457be16f2e9704a
The branch 'feature_3.0dev' is now locked and preserved for historical purposes.
* rolled getNumFVarVertices into allocateTables
* renamed tessellate to triangulateQuads (technically speaking, Loop scheme uses a trivial triangulation)
* condensed the pointer arithmetic used for triangulating the data tables
* replace void* of all kernel applications with CONTEXT template parameter.
It eliminates many static_casts from void* for both far and osd classes.
* move the big switch-cases of far default kernel launches out of Refine so
that osd controllers can arbitrary mix default kernels and custom kernels.
* change FarKernelBatch::kernelType from enum to int, clients can add
custom kernel types.
* remove a back-pointer to farmesh from subdivision table.
* untemplate all subdivision table classes and template their compute methods
instead. Those methods take a typed vertex storage.
* remove an unused argument FarMesh from the constructor of subdivision
table factories.

- [Feature Adaptive GPU Rendering of Catmull-Clark Surfaces](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cloop/tog2012.pdf).
- New API architecture : we are planning to lock on to this new framework as the basis for backward compatibility, which we will enforce from Release 1.0 onward. Subsequent releases of OpenSubdiv should not break client code.
- DirectX 11 support
- and much more...
