* View-dependent display refinement: bodies seen up close are drawn from finer display plans (#1320)
Each frame the viewport works out every shown body's screen-space error (the display
quality's chord tolerance in pixels where the body is nearest the eye) and picks a
refinement step past the chosen display quality, each halving the chord, with hysteresis.
Steps are planned off the UI thread and swapped in when ready, within a triangle budget
and a cache size. Faces (GPU plan or CPU mesh), edges, silhouettes and highlights of a
refined body all come from the refined plan, so a highlight stays on the drawn triangles.
Planned bodies are chunked by content on the GPU, so a refinement re-evaluates only its
own chunk. Display only: the reference mesh, the B-rep and exports never change.

* Display refinement: only collect finished plans while the view stands still, time the choice, keep the web planning one step a frame

* Preferences ▸ Graphics ▸ Display quality: Coarse, Normal, Fine, Ultra (#1287)
A viewing preference that sets how finely the viewport tessellates curved faces and edges:
chord tolerance relative to each body's size (3e-3, 1e-3, 3e-4, 1e-4) and the most a facet may
turn (30, 20, 12, 7 degrees). Normal is the tolerance the viewport has always used.
Bodies keep a display plan per level, so switching is a re-plan the first time and instant
after; the reference mesh the model reads (picks, holes, measuring) and exports are unchanged.
Away from Normal the model scene builds edges, and faces on the CPU path, from the plan at that
level, so silhouettes and edges get finer with the faces and a highlight still lies on the
displayed triangles.
The preference is saved with the others, set over the control channel (`ui.prefs`
`display_quality`), labelled in en/de/ja/ko/zh. `solidcraft-cli bench-open --display LEVEL
[--edit NAME EXPR]` times the plans at a level and after a parameter edit.

* Highlighted edges follow the display quality too
