Distance-cull terrain derivative normal mapping
...
Fade bump strength from full at 50 units to zero at 125 units to
avoid noisy/harsh appearance on distant terrain.

Fix ground clutter height sampling and terrain shader GPU crash
...
- Fix HeightMap::getHeight() to use interleaved 17-wide row layout
matching MCVT storage (was using wrong 9-wide contiguous indexing)
- Guard terrain bump mapping normalize against zero-length vectors
to prevent NaN propagation and GPU faults

Add 9-tap PCF soft shadows and normal-offset bias to all fragment shaders
...
Replaces single-tap shadow sampling with 3x3 grid PCF (36-sample equivalent
with hardware bilinear filtering) for smooth shadow edges. Adds normal-offset
bias to eliminate shadow acne on oblique surfaces without peter-panning.

Stabilize Vulkan shadow pipeline diagnostics and compatibility path
...
- Fix shadow depth image layout transitions by tracking per-frame old/new layouts.
- Update receiver shadow projection to Vulkan clip-depth convention.
- Test inverted shadow compare op path (GREATER_OR_EQUAL).
- Switch shadow compare samplers to NEAREST filtering for broader Vulkan compatibility.
- Expand shadow caster coverage by disabling caster cull filtering in WMO/M2/Character shadow pipelines.
- Keep light-space matrix path on stable character-centered framing.

Add configurable MSAA anti-aliasing, update auth screen and terrain shader
...
- MSAA: conditional 2-att (off) vs 3-att (on) render pass with auto-resolve
- MSAA: multisampled color+depth images, query max supported sample count
- MSAA: .setMultisample() on all 25+ main-pass pipelines across 17 renderers
- MSAA: recreatePipelines() on every sub-renderer for runtime MSAA changes
- MSAA: Renderer::setMsaaSamples() orchestrates swapchain+pipeline+ImGui rebuild
- MSAA: Anti-Aliasing combo (Off/2x/4x/8x) in Video settings, persisted
- Update auth screen assets and terrain fragment shader
