Using MATERIAL_RT_DEPTH_ONLY disables hardware filtering, which causes shadows to be pixelated, even with pcf. changing it back to MATERIAL_RT_DEPTH_NONE re-enables hardware filtering, while still working as a depth texture.

- Added limited support for Valve's Quaternion class in VScript
- Added new instance helper capabilities, destructible game instances, and other misc. changes to VScript library

- Raised maximum VBSP overlays from 512 to 8192, based on ficool2's limit research
- Other misc. fixes
- Applied the nexttoken security fix (suggested by ficool2, important for MP port, no #ifdef MAPBASE because of volume of changes and irrelevance to readers)
- Fixed a crash with the follower wait point start/stop using handlers
- Fixed game_ui activator crash
