This speeds up Gaussian Blur and Linear Gaussian Blur drastically reduces time spent reading textures and instead uses existing registers - maximizing time spent reading the actual image texture.

Similar to Linear Box Blur, this version of Gaussian Blur reduces the total number of sample by up to n. This results in a total sample count (per pass) of O(n+1) for even radii and O(n+2) for odd radii. The quality sacrificed to do this is higher this time, though careful adjustment of the halfTexelDelta value can bring it much closer to normal Gaussian Blur. The current offset however had no noticable effects on visual quality.

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
* 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.
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.
The Blur Filter can now be applied to a region inside the source itself, the inverse of that region, and/or a feathered version of that region. This allows for easier scene setups where only some parts need to be blurred, but the rest can be left as is.
Fixes#12
End goal of this is to be an anisotropic filtering purely on the GPU without any actual mipmaps in the graphics subsystem. The basic idea behind it is that we can create all possible mipmaps in a twice as big texture as the original and then can efficiently render it no matter the GPU features as it will only consume one sampler.
The texture that it outputs will have both horizontal, vertical and full mipmaps in it. Horizontal mipmaps reduce Width, Vertical mipmaps reduce Height and full mipmaps reduce both. This means that LoD levels are both possible in the X and Y direction, allowing for much greater precision mipmapping on all GPUs.
This is a temporary solution until we can directly copy updated textures to a mipmap level.
