Feature Request: PIXI v8 - Scissor Masks

Description

Hi,

I’ve noticed that in PIXI 8, containers masked with a rectangular Graphics object now use stencil masks instead of scissor masks as they did previously. This change appears to introduce additional draw calls and may negatively affect rendering performance.

I’d like to ask what motivated this design decision and whether there are any plans to reintroduce or support scissor masking in future releases of PIXI.
