maj00r 06409a54ea Store model position in the v7 node marker for O(1) ring skipping ...

The camera-ring visual load replays the twin once per distance ring, and each pass
had to read every node's header + X Y Z tokens (~8 tokens through the cParser pipeline)
just to decide whether the node is in the current ring -- expensive when a scenery has
a million flora instances.

Bump the twin format to v7: a visual model node's marker now carries its local position
(3 f32), captured at bake time from the node's first three numbers. The reader hands the
position out (scenery_binary_reader::node_position), and the deserializer ring-tests a
model and skips it in O(1) over the marker span, straight from the dispatch loop, without
deserialize_node decoding any of its tokens. deserialize_model uses the same marker
position for its own ring test so the two decisions agree exactly (a node near a ring
boundary can't be dropped by both adjacent rings). Shapes/older twins have no marker
position and fall back to the token-based test. The per-frame visual budget is factored
into VISUAL_BUDGET_MS.

Verified: td.scn rebakes to v7, no duplicates, no unexpected tokens, completes ~1s.
tomaszewo (1M+ flora) stays memory-bounded with no duplicates; full streaming is still
paced by walking every node per ring (the remaining cost is the replay pipeline itself,
which a spatial section index would address).
