Fix MSAA stripes (#9247)

HybridDog · web-flow · commit e73c5d45858b · 2020-12-04T20:16:12.000+01:00
This only works when shaders are enabled.
The centroid varying avoids that the textures (which repeat themselves out of bounds) are sampled out of bounds in MSAA.
If MSAA (called FSAA in minetest) is disabled, the centroid keyword does nothing.
