* Shadow fadeout exponent hardcoded for now, should be user configurable.
* optimization - skip shadows outside visible range
(cherry picked from commit 0b12ebba11)
The macro USE_LIGHT_SHADOW_COLOR actually was being defined when the shader used SHADOW (the output shadow color), not the shadow color set for the light so it's better named USE_OUTPUT_SHADOW_COLOR. In 3D there's not that difference but renaming as well for consistency.

-WIP new vehicle (not ready yet) based on Bullet
================================
-resolved many graphical glitches with multiple lights in GLES2 render
-fixes and WIP apk expansion
-joystick support for Android by Ariel
-=-=-=-=-
-Documentation now shows overridable theme values (though this needs to be documented).
-Detect when object transform is flipped and flip normals too.
-TileMap can specify bounce and friction for collision.
-Removed limit of 4 lights per object
-Added is_hovered() to buttons.
==========
-NOTIFICATION_WM_QUIT fixed on android (seems tha way this is reported changed in newer sdk)
-WIP implementation of APK Expansion APIs for publishing games larger than 50mb in Play Store
-Feaures in the new tutorials are all present in the sourcecode
-This (hopefully) should get rid of the animation list order getting corrupted
-Improved 3D Scene Importer (Skeletons, Animations and other stuff were not being merged). Anything missing?
-In code editor, the automatic syntax checker will only use file_exists() to check preload() else it might freeze the editor too much while typing if the preload is a big resource
-Fixed bugs in PolygonPathFinder, stil pending to do a node and a demo
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-More parameters to ESM shadows
-LightMap Octree now can bake to "hdr" (use HDR8 for now)
-New resource PolygonPathFinder, polygon based pathfinder using A-star algorithm. (will add nodes to use it more easily soon)
-=-=-=-=-=-
-ESM Shadow Mapping for softer and less glitchy shadows
-HDR Pipeline (convert to Linear on texture import, convert to SRGB at the end)
-Fix to xml parse bug
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D support.
-Opaque pre-pass works, is compatible with shadows
-Improved shadow map rendering (can differentiate between plain opaque and opaque with shaders/discard/etc)
-Added option to use alpha discard in FixedMaterial
-Improved Glow FX, many more options (three modes, Additive, Screen and SoftLight), strength and scale
-Ability for Background (image or cubemap) to send to glow buffer
-Dumb Deploy of clients now actually works in Android
-Many Many rendering fixes, 3D is much more usable now.
-Object Manipulator Gizmo keeps proper scale in all windows and projections, (configurable on settings too).
-Manipulator gizmos for other objects (camera, shapes, etc) massively improved and bug-fixed.
-Manipulator gizmos are different for edited object and other objects.
-Properly highlight manipulator gizmo handles when hovered.
-Fixed bugs in fragment program when using more than 1 light together.
-Reload png/jpg files automatically in editor if edited externally.
-Added 4-stages Parallel Split Shadow Mapping, to improve shadow quality in large scenarios
-Added PCF13 to improve smoothness of shadow borders
-General optimization of directional light shadow mapping for Orthogonal,PSM and PSSM.
-Fixed normal mapping when importing DAE files, works nicely now.
