Add multi-sampling for DirectX

[zufari4]

Please add multi-sampling for DirectX (MSAA).

For OpenGL it is possible to enable anti-aliasing:

SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLEBUFFERS, 1);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_MULTISAMPLESAMPLES, 6);

But for DirectX this feature is not implemented:

static HRESULT D3D11_CreateSwapChain(SDL_Renderer *renderer, int w, int h)
{
    ***
    /* Create a swap chain using the same adapter as the existing Direct3D device. */
    DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_DESC1 swapChainDesc;
    SDL_zero(swapChainDesc);
    swapChainDesc.Width = w;
    swapChainDesc.Height = h;
    swapChainDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM; /* This is the most common swap chain format. */
    swapChainDesc.Stereo = FALSE;
    swapChainDesc.SampleDesc.Count = 1; /* Don't use multi-sampling. */
    swapChainDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
    swapChainDesc.BufferUsage = DXGI_USAGE_RENDER_TARGET_OUTPUT;

We need the ability to change the parameter swapChainDesc.SampleDesc.Count maybe through SDL_SetHint

Running through SDL_Render issues tagged for 3.0 ABI, sorry if you get multiple e-mails for this...

We've implemented support for this in our GPU API proposal at #9312.

We might add a property to the renderer to allow this.

Okay, this is getting bumped from the 3.0 ABI milestone, because we're getting down to the wire, and we can safely add this to the API later as a new renderer creation property, that simply defaults to no multisampling, if we decide to actually do this.

We'll revisit this in a bit, one way or another.

@thatcosmonaut, is implementing MSAA simply a matter of setting SampleDesc.Count to a specific value, or is there more to it than that?

[thatcosmonaut]

It's more than that, you also have to implement resolves.
