Add a separate shader for area upscaling to take advantage of bilinear
filtering. Iterating over texels is unnecessary in the upscale case
because a target pixel can only overlap 1 or 2 texels in X and Y
directions. When only overlapping one texel, adjust UVs to sample texel
center to avoid filtering.
Also add "base_dimension" uniform to avoid unnecessary division.

Switch for loop to do/while because we know the condition is always
true for the first loop.
Replace int math with float math to play nicely with more GPUs.
Add variables imagesize/targetsize to avoid redundant reciprocals.

There are cases where alpha is multiplied unnecessarily. This change
attempts to use premultiplied alpha blending for composition.
To keep this change simple, The filter chain will continue to use
straight alpha. Otherwise, every source would need to modified to output
premultiplied, and every filter modified for premultiplied input.
"DrawAlphaDivide" shader techniques have been added to convert from
premultiplied alpha to straight alpha for final output. "DrawMatrix"
techniques ignore alpha, so they do not appear to need changing.
One remaining issue is that scale effects are set up here to use the
same shader logic for both scale filters (straight alpha - incorrectly),
and output composition (premultiplied alpha - correctly). A fix could be
made to add additional shaders for straight alpha, but the "real" fix
may be to eliminate the straight alpha path at some point.
For graphics, SrcBlendAlpha and DestBlendAlpha were both ONE, and could
combine together to form alpha values greater than one. This is not as
noticeable of a problem for UNORM targets because the channels are
clamped, but it will likely become a problem in more situations if FLOAT
targets are used.
This change switches DestBlendAlpha to INVSRCALPHA. The blending
behavior of stacked transparents is preserved without overflowing the
alpha channel.
obs-transitions: Use premultiplied alpha blend, and simplify shaders
because both inputs and outputs use premultiplied alpha now.

Currently several shaders need "DrawMatrix" techniques to support the
possibility that the input texture is a "YUV" format. Also, "DrawMatrix"
is overloaded for translation in both directions when it is written for
RGB to "YUV" only.
A cleaner solution is to handle "YUV" to RGB up-front as part of format
conversion, and ensure only RGB inputs reach the other shaders. This is
necessary to someday perform correct scale filtering without the cost of
redundant "YUV" conversions per texture tap.
A necessary prerequisite for this is to add conversion support for
VIDEO_FORMAT_I444, and that is now in place. There was already a hack in
place to cover VIDEO_FORMAT_Y800. All other "YUV" formats already have
conversion functions.
"DrawMatrix" has been removed from shaders that only supported "YUV" to
RGB conversions. It still exists in shaders that perform RGB to "YUV"
conversions, and the implementations have been sanitized accordingly.
It appears there's a projection flip that is applied in some situations,
like the preview pane in studio mode, and the shader math fails when
it's active causing the output color to be zero. This fixes the math for
GLSL (with a tiny redundancy penalty to HLSL), and cleans up some
unnecessary code along the way.
Use abs() to avoid zero area in case the OpenGL projection flip is
active. Also simplify the math, and remove the unnecessary sampler
state.
This new scale filter computes pixels by weighing the coverage area of
source pixels over the target pixel. This algorithm works well for both
upsampling and downsampling, but was mainly designed to upscale
high-quality low-resolution sources like RGB/HDMI retro consoles. I've
heard of people using odd workarounds like scaling up to very high
resolutions before scaling back down to preserve pixel shartpness. This
algorithm directly addresses this use-case in a much more direct
fashion.
The Area scale filter does a better job of preserving the thickness of
thin features than the Point filter.
The Area scale filter does not look at source pixels that lie outside
of the target pixel, leading to a much sharper image than Bilinear,
Bicubic, and Lanczos filters.
This filter should interpolate pixels in linear space, but OBS is not
equipped to do that at the moment.
libobs: Add GPU effect, and wire up scene serialization.
obs-filters: Add Area as an option for scale_filter.
UI: Add Area as an option for both scene items, and canvas downscaling.
