Actors may have different collision shapes. Currently there are axis-aligned
bounding boxes and rotating bounding boxes. With AABB it's required to use
bounding cylinder for navmesh agent to avoid providing paths where actor can't
pass. But for rotating bounding boxes cylinder with diameter equal to the front
face width should be used to not reduce of available paths. For example rats
have rotating bounding box as collision shape because of the difference between
front and side faces width.
* Add agent bounds to navmesh tile db cache key. This is required to distinguish
tiles for agents with different bounds.
* Increase navmesh version because navmesh tile db cache key and data has changed.
* Move navmesh version to the code to avoid misconfiguration by users.
* Fix all places where wrong half extents were used for pathfinding.
Useful when need to find tiles with high number of updates.
Add debug Lua package with new functions to toggle render mode and set navmesh
render mode.
Engine controls lifetime of managers therefore it should own them. Environment
is only access provider.
This allows to avoid redundant virtual calls and also some functions from
managers base classes can be removed if they are used only by Engine.

It is expensive operation to generate new osg::Group for updated navmesh tile
which noticeably slows down main thread primarily because of
SceneManager::recreateShaders call. Move it to the preload work queue that is
used by RenderingManager. Leave to main thread only manipulations on the root
node.
Also move deallocation of no more needed data to the work queue. It's also
quite expensive operation because SceneManager::recreateShaders allocates a
new state set for each osg::Geometry. Deallocating them takes time.
Avoid creating another work item if there is existing one that is not started
yet.
Make sure results are accepted in the proper serialized order by selecting
completed work item with maximum {id, version}.
Specifications developed in PR #3206 require that groundcover content files must not be allowed to corrupt normal content files. With this PR we simply isolate our existing loading logic by instantiating a separate `ESMStore` for `Groundcover`. In addition, we remove some outdated workarounds.
This PR aims to solve all issues with `Groundcover` view distance handling in a satisfying way while preserving other optimisations that benefit other features. The main idea here is not to rely on `ViewData` updates for distance culling calculations because we can not accurately determine distance against lazily updated views. Instead, we perform an accurate measurement in a cull callback we can run every frame in `Groundcover` itself. While we do have to add some code to handle this feature, it is quite loosely coupled code that could be useful elsewhere in the future. These changes should address a performance regression @akortunov experienced.
Currently, we use an `UnrefQueue` which supposedly aims to transfer destruction costs to another thread. The implications of this unusual pattern can not be well understood because some allocators might free resources more efficiently if they are freed by the same thread that allocated them. In addition, `UnrefQueue` complicates the validation of thread safety in our engine. Lastly, our current usage of `UnrefQueue` triggers `ref()`, `unref()` atomic operations as objects are passed into the queue. These operations could be more expensive than the actual destruction.
With this PR we thus remove `UnrefQueue`. We can expect these changes to have a minor impact at most because we free most resources elsewhere in `ResourceSystem::updateCache`.
Currently, we always traverse the scene graph an additional time with a ComputeLightSpaceBounds visitor during shadow casting. ComputeLightSpaceBounds is only useful when the shadow casting mask allows us to shrink the bounds of the rendered scene, so we guard its traversal with a check against getCastsShadowTraversalMask. In practice, this guard never works because we build the traversal mask inclusively.
With this PR we limit the getCastsShadowTraversalMask check to relevant masks. This new check allows us to skip a superfluous ComputeLightSpaceBounds traversal with most settings.
* avoids creating empty statesets on drawables
Currently, we attempt to skip creating state on drawable nodes when this state matches the default state. This attempt is incomplete because we still create an avoidable empty stateset in the default case.
