Title: Post Processing with Bloom filter (Paragon)

[Paragon](https://github.com/MeteoricGames/pioneer) added a post-processing framework and being GPL3 it means we can have it too :)

So this is the back-port and cleanup of their code.

It includes the Bloom filter but I have added the option of enabling or disabling it to the options screen, it is **off** by default.

There were a number of things which I didn't like about their code, _mostly due to time pressures they face that I don't I must add_, so I have fixed them up for Pioneer.

It adds a new string, 3 new shaders in a subfolder, a new checkbox option, and the new framework itself.

Of note is that this will **break the anti-aliasing again**. Even if the actual Bloom filter is disabled the whole screen is still rendered to a texture and it is that step which disables anti-aliasing.

I have another branch where I am hoping to implement [smaa](https://github.com/fluffyfreak/pioneer/tree/smaa) in the coming weeks but have decided to split these into two separate commits and the work was becoming to large and convoluted for review.

Any questions feel free to ask.
