Related to godotengine/godot#76266. The current behavior is as designed (lighting runs per screen pixel), but this was not documented.
This PR adds a documentation note to the "2D lights and shadows" doc that clarifies how lighting and shadow resolution works in 2D games, particularly for pixel art games.
Not sure if this is the best spot to put the note. Open to suggestions.
