(Too many PRs to list in full - this is just a small selection!)

Solari - Bevy's forward-looking realtime raytraced renderer - has seen many improvements in this release.

Notably:

- Support for specular materials and reflections
- Faster-reacting lighting
- A large amount of quality/accuracy improvements
- Physically-based soft shadows for directional lights
- Improved performance on larger scenes
