Implement GPU backend detection for Blender compatibility

- Added functionality to detect GPU backends (HIP and NVIDIA) during runner registration, enhancing compatibility for Blender versions below 4.x.
- Introduced a new method, DetectAndStoreGPUBackends, to download the latest Blender and run a detection script, storing the results for future rendering decisions.
- Updated rendering logic to force CPU rendering when HIP is detected on systems with Blender < 4.x, ensuring stability and compatibility.
- Enhanced the Context structure to include flags for GPU detection status, improving error handling and rendering decisions based on GPU availability.

# Minimal script to detect HIP (AMD) and NVIDIA (CUDA/OptiX) backends for Cycles.
