Implement shadow offsets for the new SM distortion function (#12191)

* Move shadow position calculation to vertex shaders
* Animate entire scene before rendering shadows to prevent lagging of shadows
* Remove unnecessary use of PolygonOffsetFactor
* Apply normal offset to both nodes and objects
* Rename getPerspectiveFactor -> applyPerspectiveDistortion
* Remove perspective distortion from fragment shaders
