New Environment and emission shaders.

The texture environment can now use all standard octane shaders. The same you can use for materials.
Daylight has the same capabilities on the sky texture port.
Also new is the capability to use a medium for atmospheric fog.
You can also use each environment shader as a background shader.

Emission has now a parameter to drive the light pass, which will included later and other new parameters to match the standalone.

Render channels at a realy early stage and for now only the beauty channels.

You will have the ability to choose which channel should be vissible in the render window.
All selected channels can be rendered simultaneous, so the saved result will include all channels.
It´s a little bit different than other renderers.
You can have only one pass with all channels you want.

If you want, you can also use different passes without a problem, maybe for different objects/layers.
Or you use the object layer color channel from the info pass to seperate your object in postpro.

After some explanations, here the video.

The passes are nearly finished.
Here is the look of the final PPG:

If some channels from different passes are selected, the preview option will look like this:

Have spend much time to get the PPG logic work, especially the preview option.
I had to check if the current selected preview option is valid, if not, select the first lesser channel.
If there is no lesser channel, use the first vaild higher channel.
If there is no one, set the option to zero, to show the default beauty channel in the preview.
