Subject: [PATCH] - fixed some serious efficiency problems with clipping masked
 geometry against portals.

The function to do the work scanned the full list of drawsegs to find portals, which with a large amount of masked geometry and/or drawsegs could become extremely slow.
Changed it so that R_DrawMasked collects all portal related drawsegs up front so that the actual clipping code can
 a) scan a far shorter list and
 b) can skip half of the validation.

Also using P_PointOnLinePrecise to shave off a small bit of additional time.
