This refactors the SDF Effects to use a normal blend function instead of doing the blend in the effect itself, improving quality and reducing problematic sampling issues. In addition to this, the effect files have been cleaned up slightly and renamed to their proper names. Glow and Stroke are now supported, which solves both #2 and #4 in one go.
The caching optimization has also now been implemented, reducing the number of renders for this filter to 1 for each tick.
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.
To further distance the code from having to do too much manually, the graphics context is now available as a managed class. All places that previously used obs_enter_graphics and obs_leave_graphics are now using the new gs::context class instead.
libOBS will simply forget to unlock a mutex if you set the boundary size to zero, resulting in the filters dialog for that source simply getting stuck. Why video rendering can affect the audio filter dialogs is a question for another time, but it's best to just accept it and move on.
Previously this would not do anything correctly, as the call to obs_source_get_flags does not return anything for most sources. Instead obs_source_get_output_flags should be used to verify that we actually have a video or audio capable source to work with.
obs::source_tracker allows us to do more over more versions of OBS Studio, so we are able to enumerate any and all Sources, Scenes and Transitions that weren't created private. If we were to rely on libOBS for this, we would need to limit ourselves to version 23 or higher, but with this we can go very far back - as far back as the global event system was fully supported.
Audio capture previously needed an additional class, however there is no need for this if this can be done together with the actual obs::source object. So obs::source now has a new audio_data event that can be listened to, which handles capturing audio data if requested.
Additionally all other events are now selectively listened to, instead of permanently listening to them. This should drastically reduce the overhead of using obs::source.
Dual Filtering (or Dual Kawase) is an approximation of Gaussian Blur that can reach much higher Blur sizes at a much lower cost. However it is locked to a 2^n size, which means that currently it isn't possible to use it for blur sizes like 19, 24 and 31.
The Blur works by using the linear sampling of a GPU, combined with down- and upsampling and carefully placed sampling points. This means that there is no need for a linear optimized version of this Blur.

While Gaussian Blur is not a Blur type that really benefits much from linear sampling, it can be used for a slight quality and gpu usage reduction. However for Area and Directional Blur there is a better alternative: Dual Filtering Blur. And as with all other currently implement Linear versions of Blur, only Area and Directional Blur are supported.
This type of Gaussian Blur also has the loading hitch that exists in normal Gaussian Blur.

Gaussian Blur is another Blur that now supports the new system, increasing the maxium Blur size to 128 and adding support for Rotational and Zoom blur. Various optimizations were done to the actual shader code which further reduced the GPU usage.
Currently the Gaussian curve is recalculated when the blur is first created, which can lead to a short hitch due to it having to search for the correct kernels. This is currently unavoidable and expected behavior until a better solution is found.

Box Blur is a prime candidate for Linear optimizations, and as such reducing the total necessary samples by about half. However due to the reduction in samples, only Area and Directional Blur are supported.
Related: #45, #6
Box Blur is the first to be on the new system and has received all the new features and optimizations available. The maximum Blur size has been increased to 128, Rotational and Zoom Blur are supported and a small optimization has been done to the shader.

This is the new code base for blur effects, which is much more effective at being re-usable than the old code base. It allows for much better extendable behavior and uses an interface and factory pattern, instead of hardcoding supported features.
The git history is required to determine the version number correctly, and without it the generated archives unfortunately lack that information making them look identical to earlier versions in log files.
By configuring and building 32-bit and 64-bit builds in parallel we can save massive amounts of time usually spent just waiting on other resources while the CPU is idle. On AppVeyor, this results in a roughly 50% lower build time, ensuring that builds can complete faster than before.
Artifacts have been reduced to only be created for tagged releases, which also reduces total build time. Additionally the notifications have been reduced to only happen when the build status changes, as there is no reason to notify about things that did not change the status.
Small performance optimization as this removes the extra texture render that would be done by libobs which we don't actually need as we already have a texture to render to for it.
Rendering happens with cached Geometry that is only updated when necessary, such as when the user changes settings. This optimization was necessary to reduce CPU and GPU usage as we can simply re-use the same geomtry instead of recalculating it.
However, the actual source size was never checked. That meant that when a source changed size through any means, the filter would not update the geomtry accordingly, and the result was a squished or stretched image.
With this, the source size is now checked each tick.
