Optimize DrawParametricDimension startup and MOUSEMOVE performance

- Remove clear_snap_objs() from PolylineOperator.invoke — BVH cache now
  persists across invocations; per-entry staleness is checked in
  create_snap_obj via matrix_world equality + vertex count, eliminating
  the ~11 s full rebuild on every Shift+A press.
- Add _init_snapping_points() hook to PolylineOperator; DrawParametricDimension
  overrides it with a cheap plane-intersection placeholder, deferring full
  BVH detection to the first MOUSEMOVE.
- Cache matrix_world in SnapObj and replace O(N_vertices) validation loop
  with O(1) matrix equality + single sample vertex check, cutting per-call
  create_snap_obj cost from 22-600 ms to <0.2 ms on cache hits.
- Use scene-level BVH pierce-through in SetDimensionAnchor._compute_candidates
  instead of per-object ray_cast loop (O(log N) vs O(N_objects)).
- Guard PolylineDecorator snap_mouse_point access against empty collection
  to prevent IndexError before first MOUSEMOVE populates the property.
- Wrap closest_point_on_mesh in try/except RuntimeError in
  _update_snap_draw_data for annotation objects with no internal mesh data.
