James Liu bd615cbf8c Shrink DrawFunctionId (#6944)
# Objective
This includes one part of #4899. The aim is to improve CPU-side rendering performance by reducing the memory footprint and bandwidth required.

## Solution
Shrink `DrawFunctionId` to `u32`. Enforce that `u32 as usize` conversions are always safe by forbidding compilation on 16-bit platforms. This shouldn't be a breaking change since #4736 disabled compilation of `bevy_ecs` on those platforms.

Shrinking `DrawFunctionId` shrinks all of the `PhaseItem` types, which is integral to sort and render phase performance.

Testing against `many_cubes`, the sort phase improved by 22% (174.21us -> 141.76us per frame).

The main opaque pass also imrproved by 9% (5.49ms -> 5.03ms)

Overall frame time improved by 5% (14.85ms -> 14.09ms)

There will be a followup PR that likewise shrinks `CachedRenderPipelineId` which should yield similar results on top of these improvements.
