Talking with Emilian about this commit, we came to the conclusion we don't want share uniform between .eff file
This reverts commit 91a6a27f32ee5f79e1d7e0d4570e879a902de58f.
Remove heavy early-Z passes from various default rendering effects.
Equates to a 25% FPS gain on Mac (no difference on my Linux box).
(Early-Z is fine in principle, but should use trivial shaders and no
lighting, texturing or fog. In local testing no measurable benefit
was found in even a true early-Z pass)
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.

Use two-pass rendering for some shaders to reduce the cost of expensive shaders.
Implement some material animations using a shader uniform.
Eliminate use of gl_FrontFacing. It's too buggy on ATI/ Macintosh.
I did several optimizations, including reducing to a bare minimum
shader computations and producing the geometry as one tristrip with
degenerate triangles. The result was an increase from 14 fps to 51 fps
(NVidia 8600M, ufo, ksfo).

Incorporated changes to effects file syntax. Changed Till's landmass
to mix in the base terrain texture. Some shader cleanup.
Also, add a GUI control for enabling shaders.
