Summary0005816: Volumetric lights (aka "god rays")
DescriptionThat's the case when viewer sees the whole light volume because it becomes brighter than surroundings.
This is caused by the dust in the air being lit but the light.

Pasting here related commits.

Main development:
  r9616 Volumetric light brought to life, still incomplete
  r9617 Volumetric shader nVidia fix, debug WIP
  r9618 Volumetric shader: simple version WIP
  r9628 Volumetric shader: bugfix
  r9637 Volumetric lights: support for stencil path (shadows ignored), LOD bias
  r9638 Volumetric lights: disable scissor test
  r9639 Volumetric lights: nVidia compatibility

Fixes due to review (https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21155-volumetric-light-discussion/):
  r9672 Reimplemented ray-polytope intersection, multiply average by distance within light volume, render backfaces only.
  r9673 Use ray parameters instead of 3D points.
  r9674 Simplified handling of depth texture.
  r9675 Show full-white frustum when #samples = 0.
  r9678 Now uniforms are used in standard means in volumetric lights.
  r9684 Oops... fixed volumetric lights on stencil shadow path (and noshadows too probably).
  r9691 Added "volumetric_dust" spawnarg for lights (only has effect on volumetric light).

The joy of dithering:
  r9692 Volumetric lights are now randomly sampled, number of samples can no longer be set in material.
  r9693 Volumetric sampling: use less random random =)
  r9694 Use Bayer matrix for randomization.
  r9701 r_volumetricRandomize renamed ot r_volumetricDither.

Changed the way how volumetric light is enabled:
  r9742. Volumetric light is triggered by "volumetric_light" spawnarg instead of "volumetricLight" material keyword.

Some more commits:
  r9751. Volumetric lights respect noshadows setting, and don't affect lightgem.
  r9762. Added support for "volumetric_noshadows" spawnarg.
  r9763. Also disable volumetric light with volumetric_noshadows 0 if user has disabled sampling.
  r9781. Fixed saving/loading volumetric lights.
