halcyon is an Embree/ISPC ANARI device: a 'preview' renderer modelled on the
ANARI SDK's helide and a 'quality' path tracer ported from Typhoon. It is
copied from the standalone anari-halcyon repository at 94e457c, without its
history; hashes its docs cite refer to that repository.

It builds like the rtx and gl devices: its own CMake project, VisRTX's
version (26.09, checked against the root's), outputs in CMAKE_BINARY_DIR,
ctests named halcyon::<name>. VISRTX_BUILD_HALCYON_DEVICE is off by default,
since halcyon needs an ISPC compiler (and CMake 3.19), which the other
devices and CI don't; it is built and tested on Linux only so far. Its
LICENSE, .clang-format and .gitignore were VisRTX's own, so the copy drops
them.
