Thanks for all the updates and incorporations, especially the controls bitmap aspects! It looks good to me, though given this new change I'll give folks at least a few days to look it over before merging. |

Adds an in-engine photo mode that creates a controllable camera that obeys flight control keybinds. The photo mode comes with a togglable rule-of-thirds grid and adjustable filters (saturation, brightness, contrast).
There is a sexp to disallow photo mode (it's always disallowed in multiplayer) and the camera sexps automatically disable/enable photo mode as well.
This also comes with scripting hooks for photo mode started and ended.
EDIT: Per the conversation with Wookie I have modified this PR to make the controls system as it relates to photo mode much cleaner. I have added a conflicts bitmask to the control bindings data which is meant to distinguish between bindings used for entirely different gameplay states (not proper STATES) but like normal flight vs photo mode. This allows 2 things very easily. First, any binding not related to photo mode while in photo mode is entirely ignored automatically (and vice versa). Second, it allows photo mode controls to share keys with non-photo mode controls. That in turn allows photo mode to use the arrow keys by default for effect modification which is a much nicer user experience. The keybind for toggling photo mode has both bits set so it conflicts with both photo mode keys and normal keys and is never ignored in these states. I've no idea how this could be used in the future but it could theoretically be easily expanded if needed for other sets of keybind conflict groups.
