Portals - Allow user to set roaming expansion margin
Previously a crude metric was used to decide on the roaming expansion margin, but it created unexpected results in some scenarios. Instead this setting is exposed to the user via the RoomManager, allowing them to tailor it to the world size, room sizes, roaming objects sizes and the speeds of movement.

(cherry picked from commit 788f075b44)

d878fe7b90 Sphere occluders - self occlusion and improvements
Sphere occluders are now tested for self occlusion. Spheres that are behind another sphere in the current view are superfluous so can be removed, cutting down on the runtime calculations.

AABBs are now maintained for Occluders as well as individual spheres, meaning a bunch of occluder spheres can be frustum rejected as a block.

776623d56b Portals - Improve UI and add shortcuts
This PR makes the 'convert rooms' button permanently on the toolbar and accessible whichever node is selected, so you can convert rooms without having to select the RoomManager first.

It also adds a togglable item 'view portal culling' to the 'View' menu which is a simple way of setting the RoomManager 'active' setting without the RoomManager being the selected node.

Both of these have keyboard shortcuts, which should make it much faster to reconvert rooms and edit.

In addition there the string in the 'Perspective' Listbox is modified to show [portals active] when portal culling is operational, for visual feedback. This is updated when you change modes, and when the rooms are invalidated.

8287d9e9bc Portals - Fix sending portal margins to VisualServer
Portal margins were not being correctly sent to the PortalRenderer from the SceneTree, so all margins were being used as default (1.0). This PR fixes this.

44f9a0f961 Portals - fix autolink sprawling, refine logs
It turned out the new autolinking feature was linking portals AFTER the static meshes had been added to rooms in the PortalRenderer. This meant that large meshes weren't being sprawled across these portals. The fix involves doing the autolinking BEFORE adding the static meshes.

Fixes a bug in the warning for portals being in the wrong direction, they should have only been checkout for outgoing portals. This was resulting in erroneous warnings.

Also the room conversion logs are refined to be more compact and informative.

A warning icon is also added in the gizmo for portals where autolink fails.
