- Implements asynchronous transfer queues from PR #87590.
- Adds ubershaders that can run with specialization constants specified as push constants.
- Pipelines with specialization constants can compile in the background.
- Added monitoring for pipeline compilations.
- Materials and shaders can now be created asynchronously on background threads.
- Meshes that are loaded on background threads can also compile pipelines as part of the loading process.
This improves shadow quality by reducing the visibility of the noisy
pattern caused by dithering.
This jittering also applies when FSR2 is enabled, as it provides its own
form of temporal antialiasing.

Adds 3D fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server.
This does not yet include support for multimeshes or particles.

This also fixes error spam when changing Custom AABB on a MeshInstance3D
that has no Mesh resource assigned yet (which is allowed in the editor).
This avoids pitfalls when assigning a custom AABB in a script when
loading meshes at runtime.
Due to the low resolution of the occlusion buffer, small gaps between occluders can be closed and incorrectly occlude instances which should show through the gaps. To ameliorate this problem, this PR jitters the occlusion buffer over time, making it more likely an instance will be seen through a gap. This is used in conjunction with an occlusion timer per instance, to prevent instances flickering on and off rapidly.
GI from probe captures was not applied to dynamic objects in the (-,-,-)
octant of the lightmap. If the object had traveled from a different part
of the lightmap, it would simply not update anymore and kept whatever
ambient light it had from before. If the object on the other hand came
from outside of the lightmap into this octant, it would receive no
ambient light at all.
Existing shadow caster culling takes no account of the camera.
This PR adds the highly encapsulated class RenderingLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum.
Introduces support for FSR2 as a new upscaler option available from the project settings. Also introduces an specific render list for surfaces that require motion and the ability to derive motion vectors from depth buffer and camera motion.
