Procedural atmospheric scattering (#16314)
Implement procedural atmospheric scattering from [Sebastien Hillaire's
2020 paper](https://sebh.github.io/publications/egsr2020.pdf). This
approach should scale well even down to mobile hardware, and is
physically accurate.

## Co-author: @mate-h 

He helped massively with getting this over the finish line, ensuring
everything was physically correct, correcting several places where I had
misunderstood or misapplied the paper, and improving the performance in
several places as well. Thanks!

## Credits

@aevyrie: helped find numerous bugs and improve the example to best show
off this feature :)

Built off of @mtsr's original branch, which handled the transmittance
lut (arguably the most important part)

## Showcase:

## For followup

- Integrate with pcwalton's volumetrics code
- refactor/reorganize for better integration with other effects
- have atmosphere transmittance affect directional lights
- add support for generating skybox/environment map
