ifcviewer: visibility (hide/isolate/show-all) + X-ray — desktop parity on web

Lift the visibility + X-ray ops into ViewportCore so desktop and web share them.
The cull already reads visibility_ (hidden objects skipped) and the frame uniform
reads xray_alpha_cap_, both per frame, so each op just mutates state + schedules
a frame — no GPU buffers to rebuild, no rendering work:
- hideSelected (hide the selection, then deselect), isolateSelected (hide every
  non-selected object in a visible model), showAll (clear the hidden set),
  toggleXray (flip the alpha cap 1.0<->0.3; cull routes all to the transparent
  pass), xrayActive().
- Desktop ViewportWindow: the H / Shift+H / Alt+H / Alt+X keys and the menu-action
  wrappers now call the core; the four inline/duplicated implementations are gone.
- Web main_web: same keys (H hide · Shift+H isolate · Alt+H show all · Alt+X
  x-ray) + toolbar buttons (Hide / Isolate / Show all / X-ray, the last reflecting
  active state).

Verified on web: x-ray toggles and visibly translucent-izes the scene, hide after
a pick removes geometry, 0 GPU errors. 113/113 desktop + 6/6 web smoke; desktop
app builds.
