GPU instancing: streamer, viewport, shaders rewritten

Browse Source

Commit A of the instancing migration (Phase 3a).  The streamer now runs
the iterator with use-world-coords=false and dedupes by the geometry's
representation id, emitting a MeshChunk once per unique geometry and an
InstanceChunk per placement.  The viewport keeps geometry in local
coordinates (28 B/vertex, down from 32) and applies the per-instance
transform in the vertex shader via an std430 SSBO indexed by
gl_InstanceID + a per-draw uniform offset.  After streaming finishes
finalizeModel() stable-sorts instances by mesh_id, assigns each mesh a
contiguous range, and uploads the SSBO; render then issues one
glDrawElementsInstancedBaseVertex per mesh.

BvhAccel is reshaped to operate on a generic BvhItem (world AABB +
model_id) so it can drive instance-level culling, but the path is not
wired in yet -- every instance is drawn every frame in this commit.
Progressive-during-streaming rendering is likewise disabled: a model
appears when its SSBO is uploaded, not incrementally.  Sidecar cache
is stubbed (reads miss, writes are no-ops); the v4 on-disk format with
MeshInfo + InstanceGpu sections lands in Commit B.
