Adds 3D fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server.
This does not yet include support for multimeshes or particles.

Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server (2D only).
Switchable on and off with a project setting (default is off).

- Supporting custom AABB on the MultiMesh resource itself allows us to prevent costly runtime AABB recalculations.
- Should also help improve CPU Particle performance.
This cleans up a few more cases of uint32_t->uint64_t
Importantly this fixes an edge case in the axis-angle compression by
using the pre-existing Basis methods instead
This allows Godot to automatically compress meshes to save a lot of bandwidth.
In general, this requires no interaction from the user and should result in
no noticable quality loss.
This scheme is not backwards compatible, so we have provided an upgrade
mechanism, and a mesh versioning mechanism.
Existing meshes can still be used as a result, but users can get a
performance boost by reimporting assets.
Introduces support for FSR2 as a new upscaler option available from the project settings. Also introduces an specific render list for surfaces that require motion and the ability to derive motion vectors from depth buffer and camera motion.
I wanted to add this tool for years and always forget. This command line option:
```
$ godot.exe -e --debug-canvas-item-redraw
```
Allows to see when a canvas item is redrawn. This helps find out if something
in the UI is refreshing in a way it should not. Examples as such:
* Signals causing more of the UI to redraw.
* Container resizing causes more UI elements to redraw.
* Something using a timer is redrawing all time time, which can go unnoticed.
To my surprise, the editor UI is redrawing very efficiently. There is some
weird stuff with the scene tabs, redrawing when the inspector changes but most
things for the most part are fine.
This is needed to allow 2D to fully make use of 3D effects (e.g. glow), and can be used to substantially improve quality of 2D rendering at the cost of performance
Additionally, the 2D rendering pipeline is done in linear space (we skip linear_to_srgb conversion in 3D tonemapping) so the entire Viewport can be kept linear.
This is necessary for proper HDR screen support in the future.
As more users use compute in Godot 4, the way they do is most likely incompatible when running
on separate threads and will start erroring soon as we improve the thread safety of the render thread.
To properly run code on the render thread, this function was added. Use like this:
```GDScript
func initialize_compute_code():
....
func update_compute_code(custom_data):
...
func _ready():
RenderingServer.call_on_render_thread( initialize_compute_code )
func _process():
RenderingServer.call_on_render_thread( update_compute_code.bind(with_data) )
```
* This should optimize GDScript function calling _enormously_.
* It also should simplify the GDScript VM considerably.
NOTE: GDExtension calling performance has most likely been affected until going via ptrcall is fixed.
