Draw: Removal of MultiSample Buffers

Multisample buffers were used for smooth line drawing. As we now have
an algorithm that doesn't need the multisample buffers we can remove
them.

The user preference for viewport multi_sampling is replaced by single
toggle overlay `use_overlay_smooth_wire`. By default this setting is
enabled as the new drawing is really quick (<1ms) and uses zero hacks.

Cleanup: Windows Manifest usage.

We had a manifest file, but it was seemingly not used, some
settings were done using linker pragmas, some of them visual
studio would set by default for us, others where not set at all.

This patch changes:

- Single manifest file where we can maintain all settings in
a single location, removal of any linker pragmas related to
the manifest.

- Compatibly settings for win vista - win10, without this any
call to any of the GetVersion and related functions (GetVersionEx,
VerifyVersionInfo, IsWindowsXxxx) will by default say we are
on vista and OS specific optimizations in external libraries may
be missed.

-Rather than having it in the .RC file in an #ifdef which may
or may not trigger depending on the build tool used, we tell
cmake to treat it as a source file and it will do the right
thing for both the ninja and visual studio generators.

UI: Add tooltips for modifiers

When adding a modifier to an object, the drop-down select box has the
same mouse-over tooltip for each modifier type: "Add a procedural
operation/effect to the active object". This isn't helpful when you
don't know what the modifier does from just reading the name.

This patch adds descriptions for most modifier types, so that it's
clearer what the modifiers do. The text was provided by @werwack after
discussion on DevTalk[1] and taken from the Blender Manual, and
subsequently updated by @billreynish and @HooglyBoogly.

Not all modifiers have a short one-line description in the manual, hence
those are still missing in this patch.

Fix T72154: Background Camera Images

The Camera Background Images uses a alpha under blending. For alpha
under blending to work correctly the framebuffer containing the result
of the render engine needs to be active
(`DefaultFramebufferList.default_fb`) and the source blend color needs
to be premultiplied with alpha.

Due to recent refactoring this wasn't the case and it seemed that the
background image was drawn in front of the scene. This patch sets the
correct state so it seems to be drawn behind the scene.
