mrv2 v1.1.4

[ggarra13]

This is a major release with big speed improvements and fixes to the color pipeline.

• Simplified build scripts.
• Fixed macOS build issues (fixed in v1.1.3 re-release actually).
• Prevented a macOS python plug-in issue with Python 3.11.
• Fixed Wayland support on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and later.
• Improved performance of OpenGL drawing between 20% and 150%. macOS has seen the most benefit going from playing videos at 4K at 15FPS to 60FPS.
• Added Preferences->OpenGL->Color Buffer Accuracy to select between automatic,
  float or 8-bit buffers for speeding up movies or getting more accurate color
  precision.
• Added option to select blitting of main viewports for potentially
  faster OpenGL drawing.
• Added Windows' stack traces with line numbers for easy debugging.
• Added Windows' stack traces to be saved into tmppath(). That is:
  %TMP%/mrv2.crash.log.
• Allowed pyFLTK be able to compile in Debug.
• Fixed floating values not respecting float values below 0 or higher than 1.
• Improved the performanc of OpenGL by avoiding OpenGL context switching when
  not needed (you don't have a text input widget, nor a text annotations
  showing).
• Added Linux's stack traces with line numbers by relying on libbacktrace.
• Improved performance of OpenGL dramatically, particularly on macOS.
• Improved performance of drawing OpenGL annotations (drawings).
• Renamed skipped frames as drop frames.
• Fixed drop frames incrementing due to lag when hiding the pixel bar.
• Beta builds now have a mrv2_Windows_v1.1.4_pdb_files.zip with the Windows
  .pdb files to get useful stack traces. Note that you need a D: drive for it
  and around 300Mb of disk space for it.
• Fixed Preview thumbnails above the Timeline crashing the viewer on all
  platforms.
• Hide Preview thumbnails when going fullscreen or presentation.
• Fixed Playlist creation showing an empty view for the first clip loaded.
  (regression of v1.1.2).
• Several fixes to Presentation Mode.
