Menu graphics appeared in starting frame with hardware renderer only
Software renderer was not affected as it reads pixels from front buffer instead of back buffer like OpenGL counterpart did

- use sampler objects to avoid creating up to 4 different system textures for one game texture just because of different clamping settings.
- avoids flushing all textures for change of texture filter mode.
- separate sprite and regular dimensions on the material level to have better control over which one gets used. It's now an explicit parameter of ValidateTexture. The main reason for this change is better handling of wall sprites which may not be subjected to such handling.
- create mipmaps based on use case, not texture type.
- allows removal of FCloneTexture hack for proper sharing of the same sprite for decals and other purposes.
- better precaching of skyboxes.
After thinking about it for a day or so I believe it's the best option to remove all compatibility code because it's a major obstacle for a transition to a core profile.
- removed gl_vid_compatibility. With the bump to 1.4 no hardware requiring this flag is supported anymore.
- disabled 16 bit framebuffers for the same reason. As a conseqence all code for rendering without stencil could also be removed.
