Gideros 2019.12 released

Gideros 2019.12 is finally here.

I know some of you have been waiting for it, but it turned out changes have been heavier than expected. We decided to make one more step forward in 3D land with this version, to further explore what Gideros could do: this time Gideros adds support for geometry instancing (on Mesh) and Shadow Mapping (by enabling render targets to capture depth layer) for all platforms, that is OpenGL/GLES (v3 is required for those features), UWP/DX11 and Metal.
Two more demos/exemples have been added to cover these additions.

A few more minor additions, yet useful:
- Path2D:setFillColor now accepts gradients, in the way way Pixel:setColor does.
- Pixel now accepts TextureRegion

See the full list of changes below.
