This utility class is used to quickly render and retrieve a Texture from a source. It should be used in place of manual rendering since it can be updated quickly, fixing outstanding issue in all places of the plugin instead of just one.
The custom allocator occasionally returned memory that was aligned, but did not have enough space to store the actual size due to a calculation error in the size. This resulted in situations where allocating 1022 bytes would give you a writable buffer of only 1020 bytes or less, or also known as writing into unknown memory, possibly even the heap. This is now fixed by doubling the padding used.
Additionally it will now default to using standard allocators, which should work better and rely on the Compiler.
- Shaders now have all promised special variables available to them.
- 'Pass' (int) is no longer a special variable.
- Files should now properly update every half second.
- Fixed a ton of compiler warnings.
- Forced loading shaders from text instead of files to avoid caching.
- Fixed file modification tests always failing.
- Actually renders shaders now.
Known issues:
- Parameters aren't updated with file modifications unless the file is actually changed in the UI.
HasParameter can be used to safely check if a parameter exists and such should be preferred over try-catch blocks. Additionally, SetFloat2, SetFloat3, SetFloat4, SetFloatArray, SetInteger2, SetInteger3, SetInteger4 and SetIntegerArray should no longer cause rendering issues due to invalid buffer sizes.
Custom Shader allows you to write your own effect files and just have them applied to your source(s). It will dynamically update the properties to match the parameters in the source as well as offer some special parameters to the shader.

Scaling was previously incorrectly rendering the source with another effect forced onto it, resulting in slower rendering and some sources that would no longer render properly.
Additionally the new option allows the user to have the source render at the original resolution in order to allow previously applied transform to stay identical. The rescaling however will no longer apply to filters after this source then, thus the speed bonus is lost.
Also categorized the localization file and adds descriptions for existing and new properties for Source Mirror.
Allows code to directly use GS::Vertex for their own purposes without having to rely on GS::VertexBuffer, which comes with the added overhead of allocating GPU memory.
Changes the GS::VertexBuffer storage to be one continuous buffer that is properly aligned and is also now used for GS::Vertex. This halves the necessary memory, removes reallocation cost and removes the copy necessary to get things onto the GPU.

This unifies the logic in GS::IndexBuffer and GS::VertexBuffer so that both can take the same amount of vertices. Additionally the limit for vertices was increased to 16777216 from 65536 to allow for proper models to be stored.
The previous fix unfortunately didn't actually fix it and instead made the crash invisible at first and then corrupt the heap at a later point. With this, VS2013 and VS2015 create code identical to what VS2017 creates, and no longer seem to crash.

This fixes the crash on creation issues, but a crash on exit still happens with the plugin installed. Unsure what exactly is causing it but it looks like something is writing into heap memory.

A bug in Visual C++ 2013 32-bit & 2015 32-bit causes the C++ compiler to incorrectly align the vec3 and vec4 structs to 8-byte instead of 16-byte, resulting in a crash if the target PC supports SSE. Visual Studio 2017 and 64-bit builds are not affected.

The source allows you to apply effects to the same source without requiring a new instance of the source. Any changes done to the original source also apply to the mirror, so there is less total work that needs to be done.
It can also rescale the source, allowing you to use the same source as a cheap instant backdrop with Blur for example. What you do in the end is completely unwritten and up to you to decide.
An earlier commit changed how Blur filter rendered and thus m_technique was no longer being initialized, resulting in the check randomly failing if the memory was just right.
This also adds some more extra logging to the instance creation in case things fail and fixed one MSVC warning.
Fixes#1
- Fixed Gaussian Blur having color issues with radii that aren't a power of 2.
- Improved error reporting to better debug problems where Blur doesn't render.
- Switched from manual object management to managed classes.
- Lots of code cleanup for maintainability.
