Bring back the actual World Nodes if HDR is disabled about gaffer HOT 5 CLOSED

Hmm, I don't think that's a good idea, rather just hide the HDRI panel altogether if they're not using Cycles.

True, wasn't sure how to handle disabling but this sounds like a good idea.

Another tiny fix would be to actually switch to Cycles when HDRI is enabled if user is not in Cycles.

While it may be a good idea to hide the entire panel but if a new user sees there is no HDRI Panel, then he would think that there is some problem. Mostly there should be a message that can just inform the user that it works in Cycles only 😃

I think since Blender Render doesn't have good HDRI support, people don't use it for that and thus won't assume this panel should be there too. Rather not clutter up the UI just to say this.

Edit: Probably a good idea to mention it in the documentation though.
