Feature request: FrameBuffer multisampling

See original GitHub issue

Currently, it is possible to enable multisample antialiasing at startup via Lwjgl3ApplicationConfiguration.setBackBufferConfig(), but this applies only to the main backbuffer and not to any FrameBuffers subsequently created at runtime.

Being able to use MSAA with FrameBuffers would be a huge help for rendering high-quality visuals.

The last time this came up was a pull request several years ago, which was rejected due to lack of cross-platform support. Since then OpenGL ES 3.0, which supports multisampled framebuffers, has gained fairly widespread adoption on mobile, libGDX has added ES 3.0 support, and libGDX’s FrameBuffers have received a significant refactor.

Could adding MSAA support to FrameBuffers be revisited, given these developments?
