3490/rtx - code and imgui fixes, better sky handling, flashlight

This release comes in two variants: default and rtx. If you want to use nvidia's rtx-remix, download the rtx variant.

rtx variant includes:

• remix-bridge nightly: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions/runs/7835937549
