Every block the mesher draws asked the model catalog for its models: a
BTreeMap lookup of the state, a Vec of the chosen variants, then for each
variant a clone of its model name and a string-keyed BTreeMap lookup of the
baked model, collected into a second Vec. On generated terrain that was a
fifth of the mesher's time.
The catalog now resolves each variant to its baked model's index once, at
load (CompiledChoices maps its variants), keeps states in a Vec by id, and
the mesher reuses one list of models for every block of a section. The
random draws are the same calls in the same order (CompiledChoices::for_each
is the old collect), so the same models are chosen.
examples/chunk_load_bench.rs generates and lights real terrain with the
vanilla generator and meshes it on one thread, with a checksum of the meshes:
identical meshes, 45.8 -> 35.4 us per section on the Mac mini.
