Outline Effect But It's Faster

This is a fork of Outline Effect by cakeslice. The primary aim of this fork is to improve performance, but I am also adding a few features and cleaning up code.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• added a checkbox to the OutlineEffect component to disable the automatic enabling of all scene Outlines at startup. (thank you Claytonious)
• don't use GetComponent calls in OutlineEffect.OnPreRender (thank you hobnob)
• only allow there to be one OutlineEffect camera
• enabling and disabling Outline components is much faster and produces much less garbage
• OutlineEffect.OnPreRender produces much less garbage
• OutlineEffect.OnPreRender returns immediately if there are no active Outlines in the scene
• added ability to install project via the Unity Package Manager
• reorganized project folder structure to something nicer
• various code improvements

INSTALLATION:

Download the files and place them anywhere in the Assets folder of your Unity project. Alternatively, you can install it via the Unity Package Manager:
