Meshlet LOD-compatible two-pass occlusion culling (#12898)
Keeping track of explicit visibility per cluster between frames does not
work with LODs, and leads to worse culling (using the final depth buffer
from the previous frame is more accurate).

Instead, we need to generate a second depth pyramid after the second
raster pass, and then use that in the first culling pass in the next
frame to test if a cluster would have been visible last frame or not.

As part of these changes, the write_index_buffer pass has been folded
into the culling pass for a large performance gain, and to avoid
tracking a lot of extra state that would be needed between passes.

Prepass previous model/view stuff was adapted to work with meshlets as
well.

Also fixed a bug with materials, and other misc improvements.

Meshlet rendering (initial feature) (#10164)
# Objective
- Implements a more efficient, GPU-driven
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/1342) rendering pipeline
based on meshlets.
- Meshes are split into small clusters of triangles called meshlets,
each of which acts as a mini index buffer into the larger mesh data.
Meshlets can be compressed, streamed, culled, and batched much more
efficiently than monolithic meshes.
