This converts the deferred lighting shader to use uniform buffers for
the dynamic data sent to the GPU while rendering the lighting effects.
This doesn't affect performance but the deferred lighting code is a
nicely isolated piece of rendering code where I could test how the
rendering code could use the uniform buffers.
This is related to #910.
This converts all usages of bmpman textures to OpenGL texture arrays.
That means that all frames of an animation are stored in a single OpenGL
texture object and can be accessed at the same time in a single draw
call. This should significantly reduce the overhead of drawing lots of
particles since all particles of a single animation can be drawn with a
single draw call.
This fixes#1169.
This makes it easier to determine what takes the most time while loading
the mission (loading models) and how we could optimize that load time
(optimize model loading).
This is not a bug fix but it also shouldn't cause any regressions since
there are no actual code changes so this could be merged before the
release of 3.8.
These checks were from a time when we supported lower OpenGL version
than 3.2. Since we don't do that anymore and show an error if the
drivers don't support that, these conditions always evaluated to true
and could be removed.
The codebase had quite a few instances of .size() being called and then checked to see if it was 0 or not (or less than 1, or greater-than-or-equal-to 1, which are basically equivalent), when .empty() could be called instead (negated or not, depending on what the original condition was).
Add missing new line to BSP Parse timing and make it nprintf("Model").
Log value of HUD_config.rp_dist when it is not valid.
Fail reading a .plr file if it has a zero-length section.
This fixes a few of the bad design descisions of previous shader
iterations. This uses a dedicated class for managing the resources and
uniform locations of a shader program.
Uniforms are also stored in this object which makes a lot more sense
than storing them in the OpenGL state where they had to be reset every
time a new shader was used.
There are still a lot of possible enhancments to make, e.g. by using
uniform blocks and buffers instead of standard uniforms which would make
uniform location handling easier.
Another optimization that I will investigate is reducing the amount or
different compiled shaders by turning some of the current compile-time
defines into bool uniforms.
Replaces calls to double-precision floating point trig functions with
calls to single-precision floating point trig functions as follows:
cos() -> cosf()
sin() -> sinf()
tan() -> tanf()
acos() -> acosf()
asin() -> asinf()
atan() -> atanf()
This allows the compiler to avoid generating unnecessary instructions
that convert a float to a double and then a double back to a float.

a) remove redundant (shadowing) polymodel *pm declaration
b) end Warnings with \n
c) remove no-longer-needed Asserts (they are handled by the Error check above)

For vertex vars use default value-initialisation to zero the struct
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/value_initialization
Note that parts of vertex don't seem used in relevant codepaths, e.g.
the colours. A zero init approach should be safer should code change in
future.
