Mobile devices are typically bandwidth bound which means we need to do as few texture samples as possible.
They typically use TBDR GPUs which means that all rendering takes place on special optimized tiles. As a side effect, reading back memory from tile to VRAM is really slow, especially on Mali devices.
This commit uses a technique where you do a small blur while downsampling, and then another small blur while upsampling to get really high quality glow. While this doesn't reduce the renderpass count very much, it does reduce the texture read bandwidth by almost 10 times. Overall glow was more texture-read bound than memory write, bound, so this was a huge win.
A side effect of this new technique is that we can gather the glow as we upsample instead of gathering the glow in the final tonemap pass. Doing so allows us to significantly reduce the cost of the tonemap pass as well.
This commit changes adjustments to behave as follows for all rendering configurations:
- Apply brightness to linear-encoded values, preventing contrast, saturation, and hue from being affected.
- Apply contrast to perceptually uniform (nonlinear sRGB-encoded) values, matching existing behavior when HDR 2D is disabled and producing optimal visual quality.
- Apply saturation with even color channel weights. This causes brightness of certain colors to change, but matches existing behavior when HDR 2D is disabled.
Adjustments are applied after glow and tonemapping to match existing behavior.
Additionally, change the minimum `tonemap_white` parameter to `1.0`; users can increase `tonemap_exposure` for a similar effect to decreasing `tonemap_white` below `1.0`.

Replicated MultimeshInstance3D behaviour to MultiMeshInstance2D and added mesh_storage for 2D transform
Also call VisualInstance::_physics_interpolated_changed()
Use Node instead of VisualInstance. Addded comment
Fixed typo :)
Using CanvasItem instead of Node now. Made CanvasItem::_physics_interpolated_changed() protected

Properly pair and unpair instances based on cull mask to avoid any unnecessary processing and to ensure that changing the cull_mask and layer_mask actually updates culling behavior
This avoids crashing on devices when a number of varyings greater than the device limit is used.
For now this accurately prints an error when compiling the shader, but the error text only pops up in the editor if the number of user varyings is above the limit.
The purpose of this code is to expose the necessary
functions for users and engine devs to develop tooling
for properly timing and seeking inside particles.
