API Change Proposal - Re: MSAA and Scene anti aliasing

[Chien Yang]

Thank you for the feedback! We decided to drop DEFAULT in favor of 
BALANCED. So here is the revised SceneAntiAliasing enum entries:

public enum SceneAntiAliasing {
     BALANCED, // enables anti-aliasing using optimal system setting 
available that balances speed and quality
     DISABLED, // disables anti-aliasing
     FASTEST, // enables anti-aliasing using minimum system setting 
available that results in better frame rate
     NICEST // enables anti-aliasing using maximum system setting 
available that results in best visual quality
}

Thanks,
- Chien
