More triangles/vertices per meshlet (#15023)
### Builder changes
- Increased meshlet max vertices/triangles from 64v/64t to 255v/128t
(meshoptimizer won't allow 256v sadly). This gives us a much greater
percentage of meshlets with max triangle count (128). Still not perfect,
we still end up with some tiny <=10 triangle meshlets that never really
get simplified, but it's progress.
- Removed the error target limit. Now we allow meshoptimizer to simplify
as much as possible. No reason to cap this out, as the cluster culling
code will choose a good LOD level anyways. Again leads to higher quality
LOD trees.
- After some discussion and consulting the Nanite slides again, changed
meshlet group error from _adding_ the max child's error to the group
error, to doing `group_error = max(group_error, max_child_error)`. Error
is already cumulative between LODs as the edges we're collapsing during
simplification get longer each time.
- Bumped the 65% simplification threshold to allow up to 95% of the
original geometry (e.g. accept simplification as valid even if we only
simplified 5% of the triangles). This gives us closer to
log2(initial_meshlet_count) LOD levels, and fewer meshlet roots in the
DAG.

Still more work to be done in the future here. Maybe trying METIS for
meshlet building instead of meshoptimizer.

Using ~8 clusters per group instead of ~4 might also make a big
difference. The Nanite slides say that they have 8-32 meshlets per
group, suggesting some kind of heuristic. Unfortunately meshopt's
compute_cluster_bounds won't work with large groups atm
(https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/discussions/750#discussioncomment-10562641)
so hard to test.

Based on discussion from
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14998,
https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/discussions/750, and discord.

### Runtime changes
- cluster:triangle packed IDs are now stored 25:7 instead of 26:6 bits,
as max triangles per cluster are now 128 instead of 64
- Hardware raster now spawns 128 * 3 vertices instead of 64 * 3 vertices
to account for the new max triangles limit
- Hardware raster now outputs NaN triangles (0 / 0) instead of
zero-positioned triangles for extra vertex invocations over the cluster
triangle count. Shouldn't really be a difference idt, but I did it
anyways.
- Software raster now does 128 threads per workgroup instead of 64
threads. Each thread now loads, projects, and caches a vertex (vertices
0-127), and then if needed does so again (vertices 128-254). Each thread
then rasterizes one of 128 triangles.
- Fixed a bug with `needs_dispatch_remap`. I had the condition backwards
in my last PR, I probably committed it by accident after testing the
non-default code path on my GPU.
