Reduces stutter and freezes when playing.
* Maintains double SM and SM Color textures
* Light frustum update triggers incremental generation of shadow map into secondary 'future' textures.
* Every incremental update renders a portion of the shadow draw list (split equally).
* After defined number of frames (currently, 4), 'future' and 'current' textures are swapped, and DirectionalLight 'commits' the new frustum to use when rendering shadows on screen.

This completely removes any mention of the software and D3D drivers from MT, preventing the user from accidentally attempting to use them. Users who need a software renderer should be asked to install Mesa drivers which offer superior fidelity and performance over the 'burningsvideo' driver.
If enabled in minetest.conf, provides colored, clickable (middle-mouse or ctrl-left-mouse) weblinks in chat output, to open the OS' default web browser.
This only works when shaders are enabled.
The centroid varying avoids that the textures (which repeat themselves out of bounds) are sampled out of bounds in MSAA.
If MSAA (called FSAA in minetest) is disabled, the centroid keyword does nothing.
Erase all traces of normal "generation" from fragment shaders
Remove the "feature" from the engine and default config
Remove any leftover documentation of it
The default (PC-style) MainMenu works great on Android. Provides access to ContentDB and allows players to create many worlds in a few clicks.
Makes the interface consistent and eliminates player confusion.
Fix incorrect value of 'mgv7_floatland_density'.
Use correct spelling of 'persistence'.
Move '3d_paralax_strength' into correct section (3D mode).
Refer to 'active_object_send_range_blocks' instead of non-existent 'active_object_range'.
Floatland structure is vertically-compressed 3D noise.
Uses a lacunarity of 1.618 (the golden ratio) for high quality
noise.
Floatlands appear between user-settable Y limits, with smooth
tapering at each limit.
Simple user-settable density adjustment.
Shadow propagation is disabled in and just below floatlands, no
shadows are cast on the world surface.
Can be reconfigured to create a solid upper world layer between
the Y limits, lakes/seas can be optionally added to this.
This will likely be more intuitive for users and should play better
with sandboxed distributions such as Flatpak.
In addition, the screenshot directory will now be created if it doesn't
exist already.
Camera's near-plane will be hard-coded to 0.1 on all non-Android platforms. The upper-bound of this setting has been reduced to 0.25, as 0.5 is just way too high.
