DRAWORDER now affects rendering immediately (bump geometry epoch so the
sort cache rebuilds) and front/back anchor to the block's full effective
sort range instead of only existing table entries, so bring-to-front
actually lands on top. The render fallback sorts table-absent entities by
their own handle.
Draw order now applies across entity types, not just within a type. A
per-entity draw-order rank (SortEntitiesTable override or own handle,
ranked per block) is encoded as a small signed clip-z bias in the wire,
hatch, image, and 3DFACE pipelines. The shared LessEqual depth buffer then
orders fills, lines, rasters and 2D solids against each other regardless of
pass order — without touching model coordinates. 3D meshes keep real
geometric depth; wipeouts stay always-on-top.
Adds a Draw Order submenu to the viewport context menu (Bring to Front,
Send to Back, Bring Above/Send Under Object). The above/under items run an
interactive reference-object pick, then reorder the captured selection.

3DFACE entities previously created one WireGpu buffer per entity,
resulting in N separate draw calls per frame. For files with large
triangle meshes this was the dominant GPU CPU overhead.
New pipeline:
- face3d.wgsl: simple flat-color vertex + fragment shader (MVP only,
no quad expansion, no pattern distance computation)
- Face3DGpu: batches ALL Face3D entities into a single TriangleList
buffer (6 vertices per face, per-vertex color) — 1 draw call
- WireGpu::from_batch: merges N Face3D edge wire models into one
quad-expanded buffer for edge rendering — 1 draw call
- split_face3d_wires: separates face3d from other wires at Primitive
build time via document handle lookup (O(N), once per epoch)
Hit-testing via WireModel (CPU) is unaffected — face3d wires remain
in entity_wires_arc() and hit_test_wires() as before.
Before: N 3DFACE → N draw calls, N × 96 B/vertex WireVertex
After: N 3DFACE → 2 draw calls (fill + edges), 28 B/vertex fill
