Adds a new property to control the alignment of the source within the calculated boundary when rescaling the source. Also fixes the permanently left aligned mirror at the same time.
Fixes the bug that rendering an outline would remove all other effects not directly under the outline, while also improving the rendering speed drastically by only initializing and clearing the rendertarget once instead of for each effect.
This filter allows the use of another source as a mask, allowing complex filter graphs and trippy effects, such as creating a text source with three animated videos, each using a different color channel as the mask.
Fixes#18.
Automatically updates the long description (hover text) if the Type or Subtype field is changed, allowing for more contextual information about what the selected information does.
This refactors the SDF Effects to use a normal blend function instead of doing the blend in the effect itself, improving quality and reducing problematic sampling issues. In addition to this, the effect files have been cleaned up slightly and renamed to their proper names. Glow and Stroke are now supported, which solves both #2 and #4 in one go.
The caching optimization has also now been implemented, reducing the number of renders for this filter to 1 for each tick.
Dual Filtering (or Dual Kawase) is an approximation of Gaussian Blur that can reach much higher Blur sizes at a much lower cost. However it is locked to a 2^n size, which means that currently it isn't possible to use it for blur sizes like 19, 24 and 31.
The Blur works by using the linear sampling of a GPU, combined with down- and upsampling and carefully placed sampling points. This means that there is no need for a linear optimized version of this Blur.

While Gaussian Blur is not a Blur type that really benefits much from linear sampling, it can be used for a slight quality and gpu usage reduction. However for Area and Directional Blur there is a better alternative: Dual Filtering Blur. And as with all other currently implement Linear versions of Blur, only Area and Directional Blur are supported.
This type of Gaussian Blur also has the loading hitch that exists in normal Gaussian Blur.

Gaussian Blur is another Blur that now supports the new system, increasing the maxium Blur size to 128 and adding support for Rotational and Zoom blur. Various optimizations were done to the actual shader code which further reduced the GPU usage.
Currently the Gaussian curve is recalculated when the blur is first created, which can lead to a short hitch due to it having to search for the correct kernels. This is currently unavoidable and expected behavior until a better solution is found.

Box Blur is a prime candidate for Linear optimizations, and as such reducing the total necessary samples by about half. However due to the reduction in samples, only Area and Directional Blur are supported.
Related: #45, #6
Box Blur is the first to be on the new system and has received all the new features and optimizations available. The maximum Blur size has been increased to 128, Rotational and Zoom Blur are supported and a small optimization has been done to the shader.

Earlier versions tried using Trilinear as the Filter, but the correct name is Linear. With this the sampling is now set to be Linear instead of undetermined.
Additionally the logic for the displacement was adjusted and now no longer renders incorrectly when going from texel to texel. This was due to the unstable math being performed to retrieve the sign of the number, but the sign() command can do it without this math being required.
This works around the incorrect shadow on the edge of the Signed Distance Field, but it does not get rid of it completely. Due to linear sampling it will still show at some point so a different solution has to be found in the future.
Colored shadows previously had an effect on the image color, but this is incorrect if the image is fully opaque. This fixes it by using premultiplied alpha mixing instead.
This allows increasing or decreasing the accuracy of the Signed Distance Field at runtime without requiring the initial source to be resized. Use case for this would be small text where the higher quality would only be noticable on the shadow and not the text itself.
Sources were rendering with a black border around them if they had a soft fade, which is due to how the shadow calculated the image sample. With the new shader code this is now fixed and the source looks like it should be. Additionally this removes the bug where enabling any shadow would cause only the texels to draw that were above the threshold.
Additionally this adds support for inverse gradients (min > max) and negative gradients for outer shadows instead of only positive gradients. This technically allows for cleaner shadows.
The filters are always the same for every language and should not be translated, instead only the file type should be translated. This way bad translations will not affect the options that the user can select.
Rendering will now use a cached version of the mirrored source in order to reduce rendering cost drastically for heavy sources or scenes. Additionally rescaling now uses the internal scene instead of being a custom implementation, allowing for some new things.
Rescaling now has a new option: Bounds Type! This option allows control over just how a source is scaled, by default it is set to Stretch, but there are other options that can keep the aspect ratio of the mirrored source in tact.
Additionally the ScalingMethod struct has been replaced with obs_scale_type, which means that Bilinear Low Resolution is now no longer an option.
Implements #35
