PCF For DirectionalLight/SpotLight Shadows (#8006)
# Objective

- Improve antialiasing for non-point light shadow edges.
- Very partially addresses
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3628.

## Solution

- Implements "The Witness"'s shadow map sampling technique.
  - Ported from @superdump's old branch, all credit to them :)
- Implements "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare"'s stochastic shadow map
sampling technique when the velocity prepass is enabled, for use with
TAA.
- Uses interleaved gradient noise to generate a random angle, and then
averages 8 samples in a spiral pattern, rotated by the random angle.
- I also tried spatiotemporal blue noise, but it was far too noisy to be
filtered by TAA alone. In the future, we should try spatiotemporal blue
noise + a specialized shadow denoiser such as
https://gpuopen.com/fidelityfx-denoiser/#shadow. This approach would
also be useful for hybrid rasterized applications with raytraced
shadows.
- The COD presentation has an interesting temporal dithering of the
noise for use with temporal supersampling that we should revisit when we
get DLSS/FSR/other TSR.

## Changelog

* Added `ShadowFilteringMethod`. Improved directional light and
spotlight shadow edges to be less aliased.

## Migration Guide

* Shadows cast by directional lights or spotlights now have smoother
edges. To revert to the old behavior, add
`ShadowFilteringMethod::Hardware2x2` to your cameras.
