f3e6547a99 Portals - fix PVS generation and move settings
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.

cfe806a929 Portals - Fix secondary PVS bug
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.

69cc759b65 Portals - improve PVS tracing
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.

2c88517a7b Portals - fix recursive loop looking out from internal rooms
In some situations looking out from an internal room it was possible to look back into the portal into the internal room.

This PR fixes this by keeping a single item 'stack' record of the last external room, and preventing recursing into this room. This also makes tracing significantly more efficient out of internal rooms, as there is no need to trace the external room multiple times.

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.

93c78af488 Portals - disable frustum culling gizmos with preview camera
When using the preview camera feature it turns out as well as culling the game objects, this also culls the editor gizmos from the preview camera, which makes the editor hard to use in this mode.

To get around this problem we simply disable frustum culling for GLOBAL portal_mode objects when in preview camera mode. This could be a bit slower in an editor scene with lots of gizmos but is the simplest way of solving the problem.

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.
