Godot 4.0 gets SDF based real-time global illumination

SDFGI is something akin to a dynamic real-time lightmap (but it does not requiere unwrapping, nor does it use textures). There are also some new debug modes to visualize how SDFGI is working: SDFGI Cascades: Show the world as SDF, helps you understand what voxel sizes are, so you adjust your geometry to work better with those voxel sizes.
