This improves shadow quality by reducing the visibility of the noisy
pattern caused by dithering.
This jittering also applies when FSR2 is enabled, as it provides its own
form of temporal antialiasing.

This also makes the Overdraw and Shadow Splits debug draw modes ignore fog.
The Lighting debug draw mode still displays fog as that debug draw mode
is intended to preview scene lighting, and fog has an impact on how
lighting is perceived.
Adds a new system to automatically reorder commands, perform layout transitions and insert synchronization barriers based on the commands issued to RenderingDevice.
Fixes issue #83152. Due to how BLUR_0 is reused for multiple purposes and requires being at native resolution for some post-processing effects to work, FSR2 will use an alternate texture at internal size to use as the screen texture read by shaders instead. The rendering pipeline will prefer using this texture if it exists.
Fixes an error where the exposure was calculated incorrectly if a lower resolution scale was used while using FSR2. Now the behavior is consistent regardless of the resolution scale.
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.
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 many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Previously, only forward basis distance from the camera was used.
This means that unnecessarily high LOD levels were used for objects located to the side of the camera.
The distance from the camera origin is now used, independently of direction.
Not sure why I didn't get those before, it may be due to upstream
changes (12.2.1 is a moving target, it's basically 12.3-dev), or simply
rebuilding Godot from scratch with different options.
