On my machine, this reduces incremental compilation time after an edit of
`rendering_server.h` by 1s, and paves the way for more decoupling in
rendering code.
A number of headers in the codebase included `rendering_server.h` just for
some enum definitions. This means that any change to `rendering_server.h` or
one of its dependencies would trigger a massive incremental rebuild.
With this change, we decouple a number of classes from `rendering_server.h`,
greatly speeding up incremental rebuilds for that area.
On my machine, this reduces incremental compilation time after an edit of
`rendering_server.h` by 60s (from 2m57s).
Previously, each mesh was paired up with the first N of each Omni- and Spot-lights.
Now each light is scored based on its distance to the mesh, energy, and range.
The new code uses a heap to track the best N lights (of each type) for predictability.
- Add support for vertex bindings and UMA vertex buffers in D3D12.
- Simplify 2D instance params and move more into per-batch data to save
bandwidth

This work is a heavily refactored and rewritten from TheForge's initial
code.
TheForge's original code had too many race conditions and was
fundamentally flawed as it was too easy to incur into those data races
by accident.
However they identified the proper places that needed changes, and the
idea was sound. I used their work as a blueprint to design this work.
This PR implements:
- Introduction of UMA buffers used by a few buffers
(most notably the ones filled by _fill_instance_data).
Ironically this change seems to positively affect PC more than it does
on Mobile.
Updates D3D12 Memory Allocator to get GPU_UPLOAD heap support.

- Use Title Case for all labels, and add hyphens where relevant.
- Mention Roughness in SSR Filter's label name, as it's only enabled
when the SSR roughness quality is not set to Disabled.
