Fix some stencil issues
...
The stencil mask must be set to all 1s otherwise we can't clear all the bits in the stencil buffer. Also we no longer need to save/restore the depth buffer into between priority layers.

Rewrite the stencil buffer usage slightly, so both the LOS and layered polys work. LOS uses the top bit of the stencil buffer. Fixes some minor issues with draw order in sega rally.

Fix regression
...
Scroll attenuation seems to disable ambient fog. If scroll attenuation is enabled it's telling the h/w to draw the real3d spot light on fog for the scroll fog layer. This should fix a regression where the background disappears on sega rally.

Correct scroll fog attenuation logic (gm_matthew)
...
The attenuation value effects the spot light on fog for the scroll fog layer. The old implemention was nearly correct but the paramaters for the mix function were swapped.

Various fixes
...
- Scroll fog needed a break statement otherwise it could draw potentially multiples times.
- The fog atttenuation paramater doesn't appear to effect scroll fog, other than to potentially enable it. This fixes some issues with emergency call ambulance.
- Added support for the node discard attributes which sega rally2 uses to throw away specific geometry. This fixes junk that starts to show up in the levels after multiple runs.

Fix the line of sight function.
...
Polygons have a line of sight value that's either a 0 or 1. We write this value into the stencil buffer, then read the app can read it back to determine the polygon attribute is visible or not. The returned value is 1/depth value in world coordinates. The first bit of the float is actually a control bit, 1 indicates no geometry hit, 0 indicates geometry hit.

Update comments for the culling node function. gm_matthew worked out that the last 2 bits of the model scale float appear to be control bits for disable culling and valid model scale. Strange logic but the line of sight (LOS) function does something similar by re-using float bits for control words.

Amend the ambient fog logic to be disabled if fog density/start is set to zero. This fixes a regression where the sky stops drawing in lost world.
...
Rewrite the scroll fog shader slightly. Scroll fog is a 2d layer, it has no depth, or can be considered to be drawn at infinity, therefore is not effected by the viewport light. The scroll attenatuion value also I think attenatutes the scroll fog alpha value. This fixes various effects in emergency call ambulance.

Prior scroll fog logic was nearly correct. For scroll fogging to draw it needs either a start value or a fog density value, but these can come from a different viewport if they have the same colour fog set. This fixes the credits in vf3 which sets scroll fog, but it never draws on the original hardware.
...
For a long time we've had bug reports that in vf3 the background in the Dural levels was the wrong colour, it should have been much darker. We thought it was again missing scroll fog, but gm_mathew worked out it was actually coming from the fogAmbient paramater. Not only does it darken the fog, but it also has an effect on the 2d background from the tilegen, similar to scroll fog. This also fixes the sky in lemans24.

Rewrite the logic for the scoll fog (render buffer clear colour). Each viewport can potentially have a scroll fog value so the logic of which value to pick wasn't immediately clear. TLDR I think it picks the highest value starting from the lowest priority layers. This fixes the sky in daytona battle on the edge.

Scroll fog is like a clear colour for the render target, but can be semi transparent as the tilegen layer can be shown underneath. I assumed that transprent polys would be drawn to the render target for transparent polys but unfortunately the logic does not work. So where else could it be drawn? Well with limited memory it must be draw to the buffer for opaque polys, which means this render target is also blended.

Rewrite the renderer a bit to spit out the finished graphics from the 3d chip on separate buffers. One buffer is for opaque pixels, and 2 more for translucent pixels. Before the frame was composited on the back buffer, which meant the tilegen had to have been drawn first. This way the images are now totally independant of the tilegen chip so can be drawn as soon as the register write 0xC is written to the tilegen.
...
Some games update the tilegen after the ping_ping bit has flipped at 66% of the frame, so we need to split the tilegen drawing up into two stages to get some effects to work. So having the tilegen draw independantly of the 3d chip can make this happen.

gm_mathew worked out that the camera flashes in sega rally 2 have the 'reset-matrix' attribute set inside the culling nodes, which was unsupported until now because we never found any games to have used this bit. The reset matrix is a bit strange, I would assume it would just reset the matrix back to identity, instead it seems to just reset the rotation back to identity whilst preserving the scale/position.

Rewrite the whole project for GL4+. I figured if we removed the limitation of a legacy rendering API we could improve things a bit. With GL4+ we can do unsigned integer math in the shaders. This allows us to upload a direct copy of the real3d texture sheet, and texture directly from this memory given the x/y pos and type. This massively simplifies the binding and invalidation code. Also the crazy corner cases will work because it essentially works the same way as the original hardware.
...
The standard triangle render requires gl 4.1 core, so should work on mac. The quad renderer runs on 4.5 core. The legacy renderer should still work, and when enabled a regular opengl context will be created, which allows functions marked depreciated in the core profiles to still work. This will only work in windows/linux I think. Apple doesn't support this.
A GL 4.1 GPU is now the min required spec. Sorry if you have an OLDER gpu. GL 4.1 is over 12 years old now.
This is a big update so I apologise in advance if I accidently broke something :]

The translator map seems to work with paletted colour values too, and the result is not clamped. Colours are passed to the GPU as unsigned bytes to multiplying by 16 will overflow, so we do the logic in the shader. If we passed floats we could skip the shader logic.

When the translator map is enabled the colour values seem to use 4 bits, 0-16. Why not 0-31 I don't know. Anyway virtua on is overflowing these values for some of the smoke effects. For us the numbers were wrapping around. Clamping is enough to fix this. (Thanks model123)

Sutherland-Hodgeman clipping only works for planar primitives. Scud is rendering non planar quads and this breaks our algorithm a little when using the quad renderer. Stretching the near plane a few % is enough to fix it.

Ocean hunter in the middle of the game is passing a few matrices with FLT_MAX inside them, which blows apart our near/far calculation. The hardware must have some method to sanitize the near/far for instance if you render something extremely close to the origin you will also blow apart any near/far calc.

Composite the alpha layers at the end of rendering. To do this we need to mask the alpha pixels with the opaque pixels from the next priority layer. Fixes some overlapping shadows in vf3tb that have different priority layers. I assume that was a game bug, but it works on the real h/w.

Sega bass fishing is starting some off the meshes with a shared vertex. Without having a previous vertex to share with, the values were just uninitialised and junk. The hardware itself seems to hold the value from the previous mesh, and sega bass fishing relies on this undefined behaviour to function correctly. Storing the cached vertices as member variables instead of locally to the function means it holds the values from the last mesh, and uses those values instead of random garbage.
