Grid pattern for deactivated shadow filtering

[Langbart]

to reproduce

Start the random map Anatolian Plateau and look at the stone when toggling the option Filtering in the graphics settings under Shadows. See GIFs below for more clarity.

# Autostart
# You can also choose another map, but for consistent testing and comparison between different alphas, this map was chosen.

Investigation with elexis

[19:53:05] elexis only the environment.js affects that map
[19:53:22] elexis so it might be that the angle of the light now hits in such a way that makes it more obvious
[...]
[19:57:15] elexis the SunRotation line
[19:57:19] elexis that might have triggered it
[19:57:31] elexis elevation too I guess
[...]
[20:14:10] Langbart Taking the existing values and simply lowering "SunElevation"  to 0.7 fixes the issue (mostly)
[...]
[20:15:24] Langbart as soon as you move the camera ...
[20:15:31] Langbart it itches a little bit, definitely noticeable
[20:15:52] elexis but thats not the root cause of the bug
[20:15:57] elexis the bug is the root cause of the bug
[20:16:02] elexis for any bug
[20:16:17] elexis it shouldnt matter how the angle is, so thats not a fix, thats just hiding the bug
[20:16:42] elexis the bug must either be a wrong texture, model, or shader
[...]
[20:33:31] Langbart I used those values that were introduced with 25562 for SunElevation, SunRotation and SunColor ... the problem could be reproduced with Alpha XXII, but as extremely visible with Alpha XXV 
[20:34:44] elexis it sounds like a shader/material thing

If you use the values before [25562] from the ​environment.js file, the problem becomes less obvious (it hides the problem). See the image below for more clarity.
