Tests which no longer work are commented out.
Some of these don't work because they're effectively testing for the
presence of bugs in the old implementation.
Others don't work because we're no longer accidentally disabling the
boost::program_options feature where it generates an error if only part
of a token gets consumed.
These will be fixed by later commits.
Currently, we create a new ComputeLightSpaceBounds visitor per frame. Within this visitor, we require excessive memory allocations, mainly a new osg::RefMatrix per encountered Transform node.
With this PR we reuse a single ComputeLightSpaceBounds visitor across frames and enable the createOrReuseMatrix functionality to avoid allocating new matrices every frame. osgUtil::CullVisitor internally uses the same approach.
Currently, we run culling tests against all lights in the scene during LightListCallback::pushLightState. We can avoid most of these tests by removing off-screen lights at an earlier stage. We should benchmark the cumulative time spent within LightListCallback::pushLightState before and after this PR.
With this PR we test out osg's shader define system for a somewhat harmless feature. As we can see, our code becomes more concise and efficient in this case. Most importantly, we no longer create unneeded vertex shader objects.
Firstly, this PR reintroduces commit "Recreate a special case for IntersectionVisitor on QuadTreeWorld" we forgot to reapply while reverting a revert commit. Secondly, in cases we still need to build a view for an intersection visitor, we now use the available `osgUtil::IntersectionVisitor::getReferenceEyePoint` instead of falling back to the origin position that was previously causing long rebuild times.
`handle_stateset` is not needed because `UpdateMatrixTransform` is a `NodeCallback` only allowed to be set on a `Node`. `Geode` and `Drawable` do not need explicit logic because they are both derived from `Node`.
* 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.

With this PR we avoid creating empty statesets for collada nodes which will be detrimental to osg's draw performance.
