So far SceneManager always sorted Nodes per render stage.
Now we allow sorting per mesh-buffer per render stage by creating a new node for each mesh-buffer.
It's only supported for CMeshSceneNode so far.
This allows to enable better transparency sorting for meshes which have transparent buffers.
Previously those always got rendered in the order in which they got added and ignored mesh-buffer bounding-boxes, but just used the bbox of the full mesh. Now they can use the bbox for each meshbuffer which can sometimes avoid render errors.
Also depending on the scene this can be quite a bit faster because it can help reduce texture changes. We sort solid nodes per texture, but only per node. So nodes with several textures had a texture switch between rendering each meshbuffer. And those are rather expensive in Irrlicht right now (and we support no bindless textures yet...)
Lastly it's now also used to buffer the render-stage. Checking this twice (once in registering the node and once in render) constantly showed up in the profiler. Which was a bit surprising really, but anyway - now it's gone.
I tried to keep it working for all cases we had before (all kind of situations, like when people may want to call render() outside the SceneManager). But not (yet) supporting the case of changing the meshbuffers (adding or removing some) without calling setMesh() again. Reason is that this wasn't well supported before either (node materials never updated). So for now I just assume people will call setMesh() again when they change the mesh.

This makes it possible to set high-level shader constants (which are attached to shader programs) to be set outside
of OnSetConstants.
IShaderConstantSetCallBack::OnCreate has it set automatically now so it works the same as OnSetConstants.
D3D9 and burnings both work different, so there hadn't been a problem with those.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6469 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475
Accessing IMaterialRendererServices outside of OnSetConstants can be useful and Irrlicht made this a bit too hard to access.
Also OnCreate allows actually for nicer code where initialization and update of shader constants are strictly separated (see changed example).
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6465 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475
Basically now the same as GLSL material renderer already worked.
Before it was using IMaterialRendererServices from CD3D9Driver, but there had been several problems with that:
- The d3d9 driver called functions through the CD3D9MaterialRenderer interface, but CD3D9HLSLMaterialRenderer is not (or maybe no longer?) derived from that class. Reason it still worked was accidental luck - the same functions had been in the same order and due to casts the compiler wasn't noticing it was calling the functions of an unrelated class.
- It was making calls to set shader constants depend on the currently set material in the driver. Which was not necessary and just prevents we can use the IMaterialRendererServices interface without setting the material first (how I found the bug).
Still some problems left for now:
- There's 2 ways to call shader constants. One seems to be only used by hi-level shaders which links constants to the shader. The the other only by low-level shaders which uses global (shader independent) registers.
So maybe this should be 2 interfaces? But not certain, glsl material renderer seems to prevent setting the global registers, but maybe those could be used additionally? I've still allowed it for now in HLSL, just in case it had it's uses.
- setBasicRenderStates probably should not be in IMaterialRendererServices. I'm not seeing any case where this isn't just passed on to the driver. And all classes using it have access to the driver unless I missed one. So probably can just avoid that additional indirection and kick that out of the IMaterialRendererServices interface.

This also fixes the combobox which users the listbox like that.
This got broken in [r6454] which had fixed the events send out by the listbox
Note: Still a bit strange behaviour when leaving the combobox at the bottom, but that was already that way in Irrlicht 1.8, so I've got to investigate that on it's own.

We had changed that once before in the other direction in svn r421
Reason back then was "Sleep(0) doesn't allow any lower priority threads to execute"
But Microsoft changed the behaviour of Sleep(0) after Windows XP so that's no longer true.
And the costs of it is pretty high - due to this using a timer with a 15ms resolutions it meant not just giving up the thread but it also always waited for 15ms on Windows.
I also replaced a few sleep calls in examples for that reason with yield() calls.

This is based on bugreport #458 reported by viwrap who also made a nice test-case model.
Note: While solution seems to work and would even be faster, I'm not 100% sure yet if there are no downsides.
The other solution seems to regard last column in matrices - thought I don't think we ever set or use that.
And I also haven't found out yet _why_ the original solution goes wrong.
But animation system uses right-hand quaternions unlike rest of Irrlicht which is obviously a bit dangerous, will have to check the conversions some day.

ISceneNode::setUpdateAbsolutePosBehavior can now control what ISceneNode::updateAbsolutePosition really does.
Having only the position and not the rotation/scale of a child node affected by the parent transformation was previously impossible inside the scene-graph. So people always had to break the scene-graph and code it themselves.
Old behaviour is default.
Extra check for new variable has a small cost, thought new behaviour can actually be faster when it's used.

It still won't work yet for scaled boundingboxes (or parents being scaled).
But at least it's now large enough for typical unscaled boundingboxes.
Before it was always too small - even for the simplest quadratic billboard case seen without rotation.
Now it's always a bit too large, but that's way less of a problem (collisions still work and culling simply happens a bit less often, but not too often which is way worse)

Also no longer restricting mouse position to 0-windowsize (restriction for other devices got removed earlier)
And adding some commented out lines to Makesfile for easier testing of SDL. We probably should use some parameter which can be passed to Makefiles for that in the future.

Bit arguably how to handle setting/getting mouse position for SDL, for example it still doesn't support a reference rectangle.

Not optimal, but making this real 32-bit is sadly a bit more work.

This got in the way of allowing to move a camera with right-mouse-button while having a context menu.
Hard to tell which way is "more" correct as this break of behavior probably can also mess up some situations.
There also would be 3rd option of only catching the event when highlighting happens.
Anyway - usually if this should be caught it should be caught for all ui elements and people will check focused or hovered.

Cameras can render even when they are not in the scenemanager or onAnimate didn't get called for example because they are their parent are invisible.
So let's be safe and add another call to updateAbsolutePosition(). Some cost, but usually we don't have that many rendering cameras, so shouldn't matter (if it ever matters I suppose we could override OnAnimate and add a flag if it _was_ animated since last render call. Maybe that's even useful in general for SceneNodes?).
Similar CSceneNodeAnimatorCameraFPS was using getAbsolutePosition which was only updated after animators, so it was one frame behind.
And documented ICameraSceneNode functions a bit. Especially updateMatrices is a bit of a confusing name unfortunately.

It's to allow image loader to check for sane limits for image sizes.
Idea came from this patch from sfan5 for Minetest: dbd39120e7
Thought solution is a bit different.
Image loader checks not yet added (will come soon).
Also note that limit is to s32. While u32 might work mostly it will run into some troubles with color converter for now (which maybe could be changes). Also 2GB ought to be enough for anybody, right?

EITH_OPTIMAL which reduces buffers back to 16-bit if they don't need 32-bit.

- IMeshLoader::setPreferredIndexType and getPreferredIndexType allow setting hints for the loaders if users prefer 16 or 32 bit meshbuffers. Loaders are free to ignore those hints (all but .obj will do that for now).
- obj meshloader loads now 32-bit buffers when setPreferredIndexType is set to EIT_32BIT.
NOTE: It's 16 bit meshes use now also an IDynamicMeshbuffer instead of an SMeshBuffer.
That will break the code of people who accessed meshbuffer before by casting to SMeshBuffer*
And might even be somewhat slower (lot's of virtual functions...), but shouldn't really matter and can maybe be a bit improved.
Sorry about that, I considered keeping SMeshBuffer for 16-bit (still considering it), but it would add some overhead in code and I don't think it's worth that. If there are any complains I'll maybe consider it again.
