Objects like OSM buildings using the `model-combined` effect ignored
the Terrain quality. Rayleigh Fog is computed for the terrain only
at "Ultra" level, but was computed for models at all quality levels,
which led to a visual disparity. The shader now takes into account
the terrain quality before computing rayleigh fog for objects.
The `road` effect also had the same issue and is fixed now.
model-combined-transparent was replaced by calling model-transparent causing the ALS
externel canopy effects to get lost. Call model-combined instead which restores these
effects.
Previously the water shader was separate and executed on a
different mesh.
This adds the water shader as a separate fragment function
(ws30-water.frag) and uses a material parameter passed in
as a Uniform to use it in preference to the usual texel
lookup.
Performance testing found a slight performance improvement
from having a single mesh, but a slight performance impact
from the extra fragment shader complexity.

Add Milky Way onto the night sky
Previously haze calculations were performed
in the main body of the ws30 shaders (inherited
from the ALS terrain shaders). This change creates
a common applyHaze function to consistently apply haze.
This is not ws30 specific, and could be used to replace the
haze calculations of all ALS shaders for improved consistency.
