Summary
I suggested onClientElementEnterScreen #678 but in the comments suggested that an option in getElementsByType to return on screen only would be good.
Motivation
There are scripts that try to be more efficient by applying things to only elements that are on screen, for example a script that renders text above a players head currently would have to do getElementsByType("player", root, true) and call isElementOnScreen on that list, as this is being done every frame that's inefficient. This change allows you to just do: getElementsByType("player", root, true, true) to get only on screen elements.
Test plan
This is an easy to test change, at first I just compared the sizes of #getElementsByType("ped", root, true) and #getElementsByType("ped", root, true, true) while turning camera to see it worked correctly, I then used createBlipAttachedTo to make sure the actually on screen elements were the ones in the table.
