Linear Box Blur abuses the fact that with Linear Sampling we can sample up to four adjacent texels at the same time and get a correct result for Box Blur back. Using this the total number of sample for Box Blur is reduced by n, making the total either n+1 (Even Radius) or n (Odd Radius).
Additionally all blur effect files have been merged into a single blur.effect file to reduce the time required to change a single parameter name. New blur effects should be added as a new technique instead of as a new effect file.

Adds Inner/Outer Shadows for dynamic sources based on signed distance field generation. This is fast, but does add a bit of latency when it comes to updates - which means that moving objects will leave a trail before the generator has a chance to update.
Fixes#3
Due to the lack of checking aud and aoi, a rare race condition crash can be observed with audio mirroring enabled on closing OBS. In this case, aoi is used even though it is null, causing OBS to crash instead of closing normally.
Fixes#22
Adds full support for Scenes as mask input so that you can re-use your overlay scene as a blur input and have the blur follow behind your overlay.
Closes#14
* Removes the old 'Region' fields and places them under a 'Mask' option that can do much more.
* Supported Mask types: Region, Image, Source.
* Image and Source mask types allow for a color filter and multiplier.
* Supports region, feathered region, inverted region, inverted feathered region and image input.
* Interpolates between image_blur and image_orig depending on the result of the mask function.
* Now using a Factory and Instance approach to simplify and beautify the code at the same time.
* Additionally we now keep track of created filters and only load data if there is a filter active, and unload data if there are no more filters. This reduces memory and GPU overhead when no filter is active, but adds a first time filter creation overhead.
* Variables and functions now use snake_case.
The filter will now automatically rescale the parent stack into the next best power of two size. With this, even non-power-of-two sources can now be mipmapped semi-correctly.
To accurately support mipmapping even for npot textures, this feature would have to be built into OBS and OBS would have to stop refusing to create textures with mipmaps that are not a power of two in size. Almost all common Direct3D 11 (except Intel) are capable of npot mipmaps at full speed, while OpenGL usually depends on the GPU and Driver used.
The '3D Transform' filter now support mipmapping using the Linear generator. This results in smoother images when the shape is squished or distant, instead of a pixelated mess.
This enables full mipmapping support for textures with a shader view that allows accessing different mip levels. In order to access mip levels, you have to specify gs::texture:🎏:BuildMipMaps when creating the texture, as OBS currently forces the maximum mip level to 1 even if you actually have mip data available.
