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.
To minimize overhead for calls when level is less than current. For example
Log(Debug::Debug) should not lock mutex when current logging level is Verbose.
This PR aims to solve `uniform block LightBufferBinding has no binding` messages @glassmancody has reportedly encountered since PR #3110 due to an apparent bug in OSG. While we do have to add a workaround here that adds a bit of clunkiness, #3216 should allow us to clean up these interactions a bit in the future.
OscillatingRecastMeshObject::update should be called with tile bounds in real
coordinates not in navmesh. But proper scaling was done only in
RecastMeshManager::getMesh and RecastMeshManager::updateObject used tile bounds
in navmesh coordinates.
Add a new function to create tile bounds with proper scaling and pass correct
value into RecastMeshManager constructor through CachedRecastMeshManager
constuctor from TileCachedRecastMeshManager member functions.
With this PR we refactor `StringUtils::replaceAll` to accept `string_view` as suggested in a code comment. In addition, while we are touching this rebuild happy file, we slim it down a bit by moving a few sparingly used functions elsewhere.
This PR removes dummy serialisers for `StateSetUpdater`, `NodeCallback` and the respective `META` macros that trigger serialisation requirement here.
`StateSetUpdater` and `NodeCallback` are just base classes that can not be used on their own, so there is no need to incorporate them into serialisation. These changes might have minor effects on derived classes that forget to override `className()`, `libraryName()` through `META`, but it makes hardly a difference to now serialise such classes as a dysfunctional `osg::Callback` instead of a dysfunctional `SceneUtil::NodeCallback`.
This PR removes unneeded `lowerCaseInPlace` calls in in a hot path of `objectpaging.cpp` that are no longer necessary after PR #3197. In addition, I have been informed that these changes should by coincidence address a compiler specific compilation error we currently experience.
We currently apply a strange algorithm to `LightManager::mStateSetCache`. For some reason this algorithm inserts hashed keys into `std::map` in a way that fails to handle hash collisions and exhibits worse lookup complexity than `std::unordered_map`. With this PR we just use `std::unordered_map` here.

resets state updater to apply light settings
With this PR we achieve the same effect with fewer lines of code.
* fixes LightSource logic errors
We currently update `LightSource::setActorFade` in `TransparencyUpdater`. There are several logic errors inherent in this approach:
1. We fail to update `LightSource::setActorFade` for off screen actors because their `TransparencyUpdater` cull callback is not invoked.
2. We fail to update `LightSource::setActorFade` in the instant that a `TransparencyUpdater` is removed.
3. We fail to update `setActorFade` when an `mExtraLightSource` is created after calling `Animation::setAlpha`.
With this PR we avoid such issues by updating `LightSource::setActorFade` in `Animation::setAlpha` and `Animation::addExtraLightSource` instead.
This PR fixes an assertion introduced by #3211. For some reason my build originally did not contain assertions despite passing `DEBUG` into cmake, but after deleting `CMakeCache.txt` I have now hit the assertion @glassmancody reported as well.
