Summary0002276: Improve the LOD system
DescriptionThe current LOD system consists of only two levels: 0 (original model), and 1 (hide entity). We want to improve this system, so it:

* covers more levels
* can turn off shadows, expensive shaders, or lights
* does not waste too much time checking (in case we have thousand entities)
* allows grouping (or entity re-using) so we can have scenes with ten thousand entities where always only a few hundred are visible to the player)

* multiple stages are implemented (currently 7, including original and hide stage)
* cvar tdm_lod_bias is implemented and can be set via the GUI to modify the distance where the LOD stages happen, giving the player the ability to decide between visual quality and performance.
* hide_probability is implemented, making it possible to only hide a fraction of all (the same) entities
