This improves the visual quality of the light card. And you end up with smaller light cards.

To use, click on the viewport "Draw LC" button, then click on the viewport at the locations where the polygon vertices should exist, then end the polygon with right mouse button. Or abort by toggling the "Draw LC" button.
The polygon is saved in an array in the light card, and is used to generate an alpha texture. This alpha texture is independent of the color texture. This alpha texture is generated dynamically, so there is no need to save it as an asset.
The default generated alpha texture dimensions is 128x128, but can be changed with DC.LightCardPolygonTextureSize.
Currently there is visual indication of the drawing process (other than the mouse becoming a cross and the Draw LC button being highlighted).

* Fixed sudden spins of lightcards when pushing gizmo near the north and south poles in the LC Editor.
* Fixed translation jumps of grouped LCs when primary one passes through poles in the LC Editor.
* Changed LC positional parameters from float to double

This is particularly useful when nudging the lightcards around the center of the ceiling.
This spin compensation is not activated when using the lat/long axes individually.

* Its shader now tries to hide triangles with vertices near the south pole that w/o a geometry shader end up in front of the normal view.
* Made preview material translucent instead of opaque so that alpha works on them in order to support the above item.
* Azimuthal is now the default projection.
* Proxy light cards are now forced to have low opacity because with full opacity they are distracting to see when they don't line up well with their projection on the walls. With this you can still see them when they are in outer space (i.e. they are not projected onto any wall).
