Changes in this release

• Update to latest ANARI SDK v0.13.1
• Added RTX device support for core extensions:
• KHR_LIGHT_HDRI (only used in background)
• KHR_LIGHT_SPOT
• EXT_SAMPLER_COMPRESSED_IMAGE2D
• EXT_SAMPLER_COMPRESSED_FORMAT_BC123
• EXT_SAMPLER_COMPRESSED_FORMAT_BC45
• RTX device now automatically downloads OptiX headers, removing the requirement for them to already be installed

• Renamed CUDA interop extensions to more generic names (for use in other devices)
• VISRTX_ARRAY_CUDA --> NV_ARRAY_CUDA
• VISRTX_CUDA_OUTPUT_BUFFERS --> NV_FRAME_BUFFERS_CUDA
• RTX device bug fixes:
• Fixed incorrect + incomplete impementation of transferFunction1D volume parameters
• Fixed various thread safety issues when rendering frames and querying world bounds simultaneously from different threads
• Fix GL device incorrectly reading back FLOAT32_VEC4 frame buffer data on map
• TSD improvements:
