[Alpha to coverage] (A2C) replaces alpha blending with a hardware-specific multisample coverage mask when multisample antialiasing is in use. It's a simple form of [order-independent transparency] that relies on MSAA. ["Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"] is a good summary of the motivation for and best practices relating to A2C. This commit implements alpha to coverage support as a new variant for `AlphaMode`. You can supply `AlphaMode::AlphaToCoverage` as the `alpha_mode` field in `StandardMaterial` to use it. When in use, the standard material shader automatically applies the texture filtering method from ["Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"]. Objects with alpha-to-coverage materials are binned in the opaque pass, as they're fully order-independent. The `transparency_3d` example has been updated to feature an object with alpha to coverage. Happily, the example was already using MSAA. This is part of #2223, as far as I can tell.
