As OBS Studio locks some mutexes in a different order depending on what actions are being done, using modified_properties for GPU work causes things to freeze in place. Instead have users manually click the refresh button when they changed files in order to prevent this freeze from happening.
Fixes: #118
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

This header includes all common data between headers used in the plugin. This should improve cross-platform compiling support whenever possible, as all platform-dependent common includes and defines can be done here.
'Time.x' gets inaccurate if OBS Studio is running for more than two hours, therefore we have to do something to fix it. By allowing the shader code to control when things loop using 'Time.y' (0..1) and 'Time.z' (the number of times 'Time.y' wrapped back to 0), a much more stable animation can be achieved.
Due to render logic required for transitions, some of the render logic is split into an additional function called 'prepare_render'. Additionally the storage for some temporary objects has been removed as it these objects usually do not outlive their rendering time anyway.

Scaling is now fully supported for Floats and Integers, which allows much higher precision inputs, or upscaling to a different range. Complex functions for scaling are not supported as those would be a scripting thing and should be kept as that (OBS Studio has built in Lua scripting).
Additionally, enumerations are now correctly loaded with data.
Related #5
Allow for overriding type and size of an element, opening the path for `int#[]`, `float#[]`, `int#x#`, `float#x#`, `bool#x#`, `vector<type, #>` and `matrix<type, #, #>`. Also allows for specifying the exact type of texture instead of hoping the user gets it right, as well as samplers.
Parameters are also now created if they are invisible, which means that the properties() function must not be called, but they must still be used like any other. This is due to a problem with default values not being applied all the time, and sometimes just vanishing.
The code also now throws exceptions with reasonable text, which should be caught by the gfx::shader implementation and refuse a load of the effect. No other state should be modified at that point, so care must be taken that up until the moment the complete initialization is done no other state is modified.
Thanks to the workaround in obs::tools, gfx::shader::shader now supports dynamically rebuilding the properties with new properties without crashing OBS Studio. This effectively allows you to have an up to date view of the current parameters for the shader technique.
Additionally with file watching, live development of shaders is possible at very little cost. Currently only file times and size is looked at every 333ms, but in the future it is possible to also watch for file renames and more.
Removes the stutter when re-opening the properties dialog which was caused by recompiling the same exact shader every time this happened. Also paves the way for simple file watching.
