MtlX Shaders Support

The following functions are supported in Solaris:

To create a global Extra Texture AOV, add a V-Ray ExtraTexAOV VOP in a shading network inside a Material Library VOP, and point a RenderVar LOP to the Extra Bind Name parameter value of the VOP node.
V-Ray only supports 32-bit precision for floating point attributes.
