This lets modders avoid alpha blending rendering bugs as well as potential (future) performance issues.
The appropriate blend modes are also used for node dig particles.

- Actually it's MSAA I think, or perhaps the terms are equivalent
- I've made it fit into the existing Irrlicht architecture, but that has resulted in code duplication compared to my original "hacky" approach
- OpenGL 3.2+ and OpenGL ES 3.1+ are supported
- EDT_OPENGL3 is not required, EDT_OPENGL works too
- Helpful tutorial: https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Anti-Aliasing, section "Off-screen MSAA"
- This may be rough around the edges, but in general it works
I originally wanted to get of the legacy IVideoDriver::setRenderTarget altogether,
but that ended up being too much work.
The remaining usage is in "dynamicshadowsrender.cpp".
Here's a comment I wrote about the workaround:
----------------------------------------
Use legacy call when there's single texture without depth texture
This means Irrlicht creates a depth texture for us and binds it to the FBO
This is currently necessary for a working depth buffer in the following cases:
- post-processing disabled, undersampling enabled
(addUpscaling specifies no depth texture)
- post-processing disabled, 3d_mode = sidebyside / topbottom / crossview
(populateSideBySidePipeline specifies no depth texture)
- post-processing disabled, 3d_mode = interlaced
(probably, can't test since it's broken)
(populateInterlacedPipeline specifies no depth texture)
With post-processing disabled, the world is rendered to the TextureBufferOutput
created in the functions listed above, so a depth buffer is needed
(-> this workaround is needed).
With post-processing enabled, only a fullscreen rectangle is rendered to
this TextureBufferOutput, so a depth buffer isn't actually needed.
But: These pipeline steps shouldn't rely on what ends up being rendered to
the TextureBufferOutput they provide, since that may change.
This workaround was added in 1e9640395468beb53f70303ef6b7aa72e395b7b4 /
https://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/2022-10-04#i_6021940
This workaround should be replaced by explicitly configuring depth
textures where needed.
----------------------------------------
New parameter 'content padding'. When specified, the scrollbar
max value is calculated automatically. This aims to reduce manual
calculation functions.
This PR adds a variety of effects to enhance the visual experience.
"soft" clouds look
Tinted shadows
Crude water reflections (sky and sun) and waves
Translucent foliage
Node specular highlights
Adjusted fog color (more saturated where the fog is lighter)
Minor changes to volumetric lighting (crudely simulates the effect of depth)
