This patch implements the Anisotropic Kuwahara filter for the Realtime
compositor and replaces the existing CPU implementation with a new one to be
compatible with the GPU implementation. The implementation is based on three
papers on Anisotropic Kuwahara filtering, presented and detailed in the code.
The new implementation exposes two extra parameters that control the sharpness
and directionality of the output, giving more artistic freedom.
While the implementation is different from the existing CPU implementation, it
is a higher quality one that is also faster and conforms better to the methods
described in the papers.
Examples can be seen in the pull request description.
