Terminal: [Scenario] Retro Terminal Effect Improvements

[ianhan]

So, the glow effect is neat, but that is not what a CRT looks like. CRTs were not blurry. It looks more like a composite TV effect, and it's hard to use.

Check out this terminal and the effects it has - they are clearly a labor of love. Can we do something like that?

I mean, we're happy to accept more contributions in this area 😉 The retro effect was wholly a community contribution. At some point in the future, we'll probably move it to being an extension (#4000), but for now, it lives in this codebase, and we'd be happy to accept more improvements to it.

This is now the "retro terminal effects improvements" megathread.
