Refactor the render instance logic in #9903 so that it's easier for other components to adopt. (#10002)
# Objective

Currently, the only way for custom components that participate in
rendering to opt into the higher-performance extraction method in #9903
is to implement the `RenderInstances` data structure and the extraction
logic manually. This is inconvenient compared to the `ExtractComponent`
API.

## Solution

This commit creates a new `RenderInstance` trait that mirrors the
existing `ExtractComponent` method but uses the higher-performance
approach that #9903 uses. Additionally, `RenderInstance` is more
flexible than `ExtractComponent`, because it can extract multiple
components at once. This makes high-performance rendering components
essentially as easy to write as the existing ones based on component
extraction.

## Changelog

### Added

A new `RenderInstance` trait is available mirroring `ExtractComponent`,
but using a higher-performance method to extract one or more components
to the render world. If you have custom components that rendering takes
into account, you may consider migration from `ExtractComponent` to
`RenderInstance` for higher performance.
