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.
RenderingDevice::screen_get_framebuffer_format should return a value of
type RenderingDevice::FramebufferFormatID which is an alias of int64_t
but it returns Error::FAILED with a value of 1. The compiler does not
complain because both types are integers but 1 corresponds to a valid
FramebufferFormatID, meaning a certain failure condition is missed.
This commit changes it to the correct value, INVALID_ID.
Introduce a specialised `texture_get_data` for `RenderDeviceDriver`,
which can retrieve the texture data from the GPU driver for shared
textures (`TEXTURE_USAGE_CPU_READ_BIT`).
Closes#108115
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`.

Remove cross-project includes from `hashfuncs.h`.
Improve hashing function for `Color` (based on values instead of `String`).
Move `Variant` comparison from `hash_map.h` to `dictionary.cpp` (`VariantComparatorDictionary`), where it's used.
Remove now unnecessary `HashableHasher`.
