Backport DirectionalLight fade_start property to 3.x

- Implement shadow fading when using the Orthogonal shadow mode
  (like in `master`).

This allows customizing the distance at which directional shadows
start to fade away. Shadow fading will also always start at the same
distance now, regardless of the current shadow mode in use.

This is useful for enclosed levels to prevent shadows from fading
at all with a well-tuned maximum distance.

The default fade start value (0.8) results in fading happening later
in the distance compared to the previous behavior, where fading started
from the last shadow split distance (0.6 in PSSM 4 Splits and
0.1 in PSSM 2 Splits).

The maximum distance for shadow splits. Increasing this value will make directional shadows visible from further away, at the cost of lower overall shadow detail and performance (since more objects need to be included in the directional shadow rendering).
