Instanced line rendering for gizmos based on bevy_polyline (#8427)
# Objective

Adopt code from
[bevy_polyline](https://github.com/ForesightMiningSoftwareCorporation/bevy_polyline)
for gizmo line-rendering.
This adds configurable width and perspective rendering for the lines.

Many thanks to @mtsr for the initial work on bevy_polyline. Thanks to
@aevyrie for maintaining it, @nicopap for adding the depth_bias feature
and the other
[contributors](https://github.com/ForesightMiningSoftwareCorporation/bevy_polyline/graphs/contributors)
for squashing bugs and keeping bevy_polyline up-to-date.

#### Before

![Before](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29694403/232831591-a8e6ed0c-3a09-4413-80fa-74cb8e0d33dd.png)
#### After - with line perspective

![After](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29694403/232831692-ba7cbeb7-e63a-4f8e-9b1b-1b80c668f149.png)

Line perspective is not on by default because with perspective there is
no default line width that works for every scene.

<p>

![After - no
perspective](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29694403/232836344-0dbfb4c8-09b7-4cf5-95f9-a4c26f38dca3.png)

Somewhat unexpectedly, the performance is improved with this PR.
At 200,000 lines in many_gizmos I get ~110 FPS on main and ~200 FPS with
this PR.
I'm guessing this is a CPU side difference as I would expect the
rendering technique to be more expensive on the GPU to some extent, but
I am not entirely sure.
