Improve PCF13 shadow rendering in GLES2 by using a soft PCF filter

Browse source 
This suppresses the blocky shadow appearance, bringing the shadow rendering
much closer to GLES3. This soft filter is more demanding as it requires
more lookups, but it makes PCF13 shadows more usable.

The soft PCF filter was adapted from three.js.

<member name="rendering/quality/shadows/filter_mode" type="int" setter="" getter="" default="1">
Shadow filter mode. Higher-quality settings result in smoother shadows that flicker less when moving. "Disabled" is the fastest option, but also has the lowest quality. "PCF5" is smoother but is also slower. "PCF13" is the smoothest option, but is also the slowest.
[b]Note:[/b] When using the GLES2 backend, the "PCF13" option actually uses 16 samples to emulate linear filtering in the shader. This results in a shadow appearance similar to the one produced by the GLES3 backend.
