Apply the filter selection to material shadows.

When set_shadow_filter_4tap(false) is active, materials using sample_sun_shadow still use four taps. The core CSM path uses 16 Poisson taps, so shadow softness can differ between surfaces. Make the material CSM helper select the same filter.

202:
Update the material CSM helper used by sample_sun_shadow to read the filter
selection passed through lighting_uniforms.dir_light_count.w and match the core
CSM path: use four taps when set_shadow_filter_4tap(true) is active, and the
16-tap Poisson filter when it is false.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local

The material helper (shaders/common/shadows.wgsl) already takes 4 taps; it has its own layout and filter and isn't part of this change. Aligning the two CSM samplers is worth its own PR.

@proggeramlug Understood. The material helper has its own filter, and alignment can be handled in a separate PR.

Would you like me to open a GitHub issue to track that follow-up?
