Simplify the 3D scaling demo setup, enable filtering by default

It turns out using a TextureRect node isn't necessary :)

The typical ViewportContainer + Viewport setup can be used just
fine to enable filtering on the ViewportTexture returned by the
Viewport.

The performance of the new method is equivalent to the old one.

 # 3D Viewport Scaling
 
-This demo shows how to scale the 3D viewport rendering without affecting
-2D elements such as the HUD. It also demonstrates how to toggle filtering
-on a viewport by using TextureRect to display the ViewportTexture
-delivered by the Viewport node. This technique can be useful in 2D games
-as well. For instance, it can be used to have a "pixel art" viewport for
-the main game area and a non-pixel-art viewport for HUD elements.
-
-ViewportContainer can also be used to display a viewport in a GUI, but it
-doesn't offer the ability to enable filtering.
