Mark Lodato c2b332f98a Recalculate entity aabbs when meshes change (#4944)
# Objective

Update the `calculate_bounds` system to update `Aabb`s
for entities who've either:
- gotten a new mesh
- had their mesh mutated

Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4294.

## Solution

There are two commits here to address the two issues above:

### Commit 1

**This Commit**
Updates the `calculate_bounds` system to operate not only on entities
without `Aabb`s but also on entities whose `Handle<Mesh>` has changed.

**Why?**
So if an entity gets a new mesh, its associated `Aabb` is properly
recalculated.

**Questions**
- This type is getting pretty gnarly - should I extract some types?
- This system is public - should I add some quick docs while I'm here?

### Commit 2

**This Commit**
Updates `calculate_bounds` to update `Aabb`s of entities whose meshes
have been directly mutated.

**Why?**
So if an entity's mesh gets updated, its associated `Aabb` is properly
recalculated.

**Questions**
- I think we should be using `ahash`. Do we want to do that with a
  direct `hashbrown` dependency or an `ahash` dependency that we
  configure the `HashMap` with?
- There is an edge case of duplicates with `Vec<Entity>` in the
  `HashMap`. If an entity gets its mesh handle changed and changed back
  again it'll be added to the list twice. Do we want to use a `HashSet`
  to avoid that? Or do a check in the list first (assuming iterating
  over the `Vec` is faster and this edge case is rare)?
- There is an edge case where, if an entity gets a new mesh handle and
  then its old mesh is updated, we'll update the entity's `Aabb` to the
  new geometry of the _old_ mesh. Do we want to remove items from the
  `Local<HashMap>` when handles change? Does the `Changed` event give us
  the old mesh handle? If not we might need to have a
  `HashMap<Entity, Handle<Mesh>>` or something so we can unlink entities
  from mesh handles when the handle changes.
- I did the `zip()` with the two `HashMap` gets assuming those would
  be faster than calculating the Aabb of the mesh (otherwise we could do
  `meshes.get(mesh_handle).and_then(Mesh::compute_aabb).zip(entity_mesh_map...)`
  or something). Is that assumption way off?

## Testing

I originally tried testing this with `bevy_mod_raycast` as mentioned in the
original issue but it seemed to work (maybe they are currently manually
updating the Aabbs?). I then tried doing it in 2D but it looks like
`Handle<Mesh>` is just for 3D. So I took [this example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/3d/pbr.rs)
and added some systems to mutate/assign meshes:
