Matrix Screensaver v1.2.0

Adds optional AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0 upscaling.

• New upscaling setting (off by default; quality 1.5x, balanced 1.7x, performance 2x) and sharpness, also in the settings dialog.
• Glyphs and the grid keep their on-screen size, and the scanlines, interlacing and flicker are applied after upscaling so they stay one pixel row thick.
• Heads-up: the rain is such a cheap shader that on a fast GPU FSR costs more than it saves (about 700 FPS native against 470-530 with FSR on an RTX 3060). It is meant for weak or integrated GPUs and very high resolutions.
• fsr.py is the same standalone port used in the aquarium screensaver (MIT license, see THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md).
