fix(camera): keep ortho depth precision constant across zoom

The orthographic near/far span was ±1000x the camera distance, so
zooming out ballooned the depth range and collapsed z-buffer precision:
coincident solids, meshes and wires then flipped draw order (meshes drew
in front of solids only when zoomed out, correct order when zoomed in).

Size the depth half-range from the drawing's extent instead — the bbox
diagonal on fit_to_bounds, the view height on a restored saved view —
and hold it constant as the camera zooms, so precision no longer depends
on distance. Falls back to the old distance-scaled range when unset.
