While the long descriptions were useful, keeping the updated and translated is pretty much impossible. Technology moves fast and not everyone that translates the project knows a lot about technology.
Therefore the long descriptions have now been replaced with a button that opens the wiki page for the feature instead. This should drastically reduce the number of help cases, and improve the translation coverage at the same time.
Occasionally, mostly due to other sources rebuilding their UI, an out-of-order lock freeze can be observed with Source Mirror. This is unwanted, so we need to move the freezing logic into a place where freezing shouldn't happen.
Fixes#228
Actually fixes#61
Adds a new CMake option "ENABLE_PROFILING" which enables all CPU and GPU performance profiling available in StreamFX for tracking what's actually causing things to be slow.
Previously sources had to manually implement migration code, which resulted in unresolvable regression issues due to the lack of version and commit tagging. With the new migration code, all sources automatically have this version and commit tagging at all times, and as such can now have a temporary regression fixed without the user needing to change any values manually.
With this, GCC 8 and above should now be able to compile the project both in obs-studio and as a standalone install. Some features are currently still not fully supported and require extra work, but the majority of things are supported and work out of the box. Exact feature parity can be looked up here on the wiki: https://github.com/Xaymar/obs-StreamFX/wiki/Platform-Feature-Parity

For an unknown reason, OBS Studio v25.x now causes a freeze to happen at this location. This should hopefully work around that issue by ensuring that we are in a location that does not cause an unusual lock order.
On highly parallel systems (> 4 Threads) audio had a chance of being played back out of order, causing it to jitter. This queue should help eliminate the issue entirely.
Fixes#111
The new logic drastically simplifies Source Mirror and reduces the attack surface for bugs introduced by humans. Additionally the new layout detection should help with improved audio mirroring which hopefully will not crash libobs as often.
Fixes#61.
Fixes support for OBS_SOURCE_CUSTOM_DRAW sources and refactors the class onto better isolated and wrapped classes to deal with specific tasks. This drastically improves stability without causing code complexity to increase, and makes the code vastly easier to read too.

Scaling shouldn't be part of the Source and instead should be done as a filter. Not only does supporting it drastically increase code complexity, it also doesn't add anything that is really necessary as you can do everything it did better in an actual transform.
Caching wasn't actually used except for scaling and was mostly broken too, causing flickering.
Getting the resolution of a source is very expensive in libOBS, as libOBS does not cache it and instead always calls into the filters and sources to determine the actual source. This also leads to potential lockups due to the filter list mutex being locked for the target source.
Therefore instead of calling it multiple times, cache the result of the call, if that result is even necessary. This reduces the need to synchronize lightly parallelized work (UI and libOBS code) and helps against the potential race condition in libOBS.
Caching the output of a source is only necessary for really expensive to render sources, so it is disabled by default now. Thanks to that, most Source Mirrors are now "free" instead of requiring two context switches and a texture, while those really expensive can be manually set to cache.
The scaling mode is also set to disabled instead of point when rescaling is off to further improve performance. The previous method would incorrectly cause an extra texture to be used.
Additionally we now have support for debug markers for graphics debugging, allowing us to exactly tell apart improvements in rendering cost for this source.
This is a massive improvement to stability and safety when using the plugin, as all exceptions should now no longer be leaked into C controlled code, which can't actually handle exceptions at all.
Warnings fixed:
* Potentially throwing exception during library load.
* Possibly throwing function passed to C.
* Statement does nothing.
* Variable is initialized but not referenced.
* Variable overloads variable in parent scope.
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.
This fixes a dead lock due to attempting to lock the same filter mutex twice, causing libOBS to completely lock up on every mutex. This extends the fix for 4fc25cfd8d.
Additionally this switches to a proper queue system for audio, so we no longer cause audio stuttering or audio skipping.
