From empirical testing, this seems to provide the best compression
compared to other compression algorithms when used in the
Multiplayer Bomber demo.
Other algorithms may provide better compression ratios for more
complex games, but some compression is probably better than
no compression.
Zstandard was also not very efficient in my testing, so I added
a note in the documentation.
Extremely long frames caused by suspending and resuming the machine could result in an overflow in the delta smoothing because it uses 32 bit math on delta values measured in nanoseconds.
This PR puts a cap of a second as the maximum frame delta that will be processed by the smoothing, otherwise it returns the frame delta 64 bit value unaltered. It also converts internal math to explicitly use 64 bit integers.
Added one more warning to the hideable warnings. These seem to be benign warnings and are hidden during use in rooms and portals. When used from other areas, only one warning is displayed per run, instead of for every occurrence.
Same thing that was already done in 2D, applies moving platform motion
by using a call to move_and_collide that excludes the platform itself,
instead of making it part of the body motion.
Helps with handling walls and slopes correctly when the character walks
on the moving platform.
Also made some minor adjustments to the 2D version and documentation.

When synchronizing KinematicBody motion with moving the platform using
direct body state, only the linear velocity was taken into account.
This change exposes velocity at local point in direct body state and
uses it in move_and_slide to get the proper velocity that includes
rotations.
Fixed a bug in the complex PVS generation which was causing recursive loop.
Move some of the settings out of RoomManager into Project Settings.
Allow PVS generation method to be selected from Project Settings, and control PVS logging.
The checking for link room IDs was checking for less than size(), but was not correctly checking for -1,
and therefore reading outside the array range. This PR fixes this.
Portal autolinking was previously agnostic to room priorities, which meant that portals would link to the first room they found (often outside rooms). This PR fixes this by making the autolinking priority aware, and will preferentially link to internal rooms.
Fixes a bug whereby it read from the primary PVS in the gameplay monitor, using the size from the secondary PVS. This would read out of bounds and crash.
Removed debug code to update the gameplay monitor from the preview camera - this is no longer required.
Temporarily revert to the simple PVS generation method, because I've noticed a bug in the complex version, and the simple version is safer while I fix this.
With the octahedral compression, we had attributes of a size of 2 bytes
which potentially caused performance regressions on iOS/Mac
Now add padding to the normal/tangent buffer
For octahedral, normal will always be oct32 encoded
UNLESS tangent exists and is also compressed
then both will be oct16 encoded and packed into a vec4<GL_BYTE>
attribute
The existing tracing routine for building the PVS was rather simple compared to the main portal tracing, and could not correctly cope with paths that went through multiple portals from room A to B, and as a result would sometimes miss room entries in the PVS resulting in too many culled rooms in these circumstances.
This PR adds an improved function that can cope with entering a room multiple times during a trace. As a result it has to take care of portal directions (to prevent going back on itself) in a similar, but not identical way to the main portal tracing routine, and internal rooms, to prevent recursive loops.
