Subject: [PATCH] fix(render): draw transparent hatches over the lines behind
 them

Hatches are drawn before the wires and write depth, so a transparent
hatch above lines in draw order still hid them through the depth test.
Transparent hatches now go to their own renderer drawn after the wires:
the lines behind show through the blend and the lines in front still
win the depth test.

Fixes #1720
