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.
- All non-ALS Effects have been removed (except generic ones from model-default and terrain-default).
- The rendering dialog has been reworked to accomodate the changes.
- All necessary properties have been added to graphics-properties.xml
- Five graphics presets have been added: Minimal, Low, Medium, High and Ultra.
- Some unused properties have been removed from defaults.xml
- Remove all Compositor Effects and Shaders.
- Unify the low-spec and ALS pipelines in a single pipeline called 'Classic'.
- Readd shadow mapping.
- Move the WS30 Effect and fragment shader out of the Compositor-specific directories.
Add ALS specific vertex shader for ubershader.vert and buildings-ubershader.vert named model-ALS-ultra.vert and buildings-model-ALS-ultra.vert respectively. This partly reverts 3dc0e641c1 . Aircraft modelers and other consumers need not take any action.
Talking with Emilian about this commit, we came to the conclusion we don't want share uniform between .eff file
This reverts commit 91a6a27f32ee5f79e1d7e0d4570e879a902de58f.
This should help those checking out models in fgviewer
To enable effects in fgviewer run it with:
fgviewer --prop /sim/rendering/shaders/quality-level -1
Also fix random buildings not showing up when model shader was set to 0 and generic was enabled.

model-combined & model-combined-deferred effects: improve Rembrandt behaviour, and provide better effects for transparent
surfaces under Rembrandt.
This change breaks current effects using normalmaps when inheriting from model-combined-deferred under
Rembrandt.
Aircraft developers please change the technique numbers in the "normalmap include" part of your effects file from
<technique n="8"> to <technique n="7"> (again, only if inheriting from model-combined-deferred, and using normalmaps)
Effects inheriting from model-combined do not neeed any adaptation.
Sorry for the nuisance caused by this change.

Effects/model-combined.eff fix techniques numbering. Make active under rembrandt too. add model-combined-deferred as a stub for now for specific
Rembrandt use.
Users of model-combined with normalmaps should change the technique number to 9, and duplicate that entry for technique 8.
Fix some longstanding png warnings. Provide null_reflectdir.png for model-combined
This should fix part of bug #726

Add a technique that initialize the buffers of the Rembrandt renderer
(use Multi Render Target)
Renumber techniques that depends on old technique 10 (now 11) of model-default
