Dion Moult 72af067c9a wgpu: streaming + HiZ correctness fixes
Three correctness bugs found and fixed, plus an unrelated fly-mode
deadlock surfaced along the way.

HiZ false-rejection at the bottom of the screen
------------------------------------------------
The mip-pyramid sizing floored when halving — for a 256×70 mip 0 the
level-3 mip is 32×8, but mip-0 row 69 maps to ly = 69>>3 = 8, which is
out of bounds for an 8-row mip. ly1 then clamps down to 7 while ly0
stays at 8, the sampling loop runs zero times, max_d retains its
initial 0.0, and `min_z > 0` rejects every AABB whose projected y
range touches the bottom row. Same class for the right edge on very
wide viewports.

Fix: ceil rather than floor when halving mip dimensions so every
parent row has a covering child texel, plus std::clamp on both lookup
endpoints as belt-and-suspenders for any future mip-sizing change.

Surfaced after the user added more sidecars and saw "anything near the
bottom of the screen, no matter close or far" disappear ~0.5 s after
camera stops — that delay was the strict-VP gate + readback latency
opening the HiZ window. Found via WGPU_HIZ_TRACE rejection logs that
showed every rejection had `max_d=0` and `ly0 > ly1`.

Streaming priority lets the ocean starve out the bracing
---------------------------------------------------------
Per-instance projected screen footprint was estimated as bounding-
sphere radius squared. BIM geometry is overwhelmingly thin-in-one-axis
(slabs, pipes, columns, windows) and a flat ocean plane viewed nearly
edge-on gets a sphere projection ~250× larger than its actual screen
rect. Its chunk dominated the priority ranking and evicted the brace
chunks despite the braces being one of the closest visible things.

Fix: per-instance priority is now the screen-space AABB rectangle area
(world AABB extents projected onto the camera right/up basis vectors,
divided by view-z). Sphere radius is retained for the contribution
cull and LOD pick because conservative-over is the right failure mode
there.

Stale-VP HiZ gate
-----------------
HiZ resolves into an async ping-pong of staging buffers, so the
pyramid resident at cull time was typically captured one or two
frames ago. During camera motion the captured VP differs from
vp_this_frame and AABBs end up sampling depth taken for what was at
slightly-different screen positions in the old view. Strict by
default now: HiZ engages only when hiz_vp_ == vp_this_frame.
WGPU_HIZ_MOTION=1 trusts the stale pyramid (matches GL's default).

Fly mode Shift+Q deadlock
--------------------------
keyPressEvent requested a redraw only on the first key of a new held
set (was_empty). Pressing Shift first then Q never satisfied that
condition because Shift had already populated the set, so the render
loop never ticked. Now every relevant keypress calls requestUpdate
unconditionally.

HiZ stays opt-in behind WGPU_HIZ=1 for one release while the fix
bakes; WGPU_HIZ_TRACE=1 keeps the per-rejection diagnostic available
for future bugs.

IfcOpenShell

IfcOpenShell is an open source (LGPL) software library for working with Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). Complete parsing support is provided for IFC2x3 TC1, IFC4 Add2 TC1, IFC4x1, IFC4x2, and IFC4x3 Add2. Extensive geometric support is implemented for the IFC releases IFC2x3 TC1 and IFC4 Add2 TC1. Extending with support for arbitrary IFC schemas is possible at compile-time when using C++ and at run-time when using Python.

In addition to a C++ and Python API, IfcOpenShell comes with an ecosystem of tools, notably including IfcConvert (an application to convert IFC models to other formats), Bonsai (an add-on to Blender providing a graphical IFC authoring platform), and many other libraries, CLI apps, and more. Support is also provided for auxiliary standards such as BCF and IDS.
