  1. Client: Add a visualization for debugging surface normals 

    This makes it way easier to see when things have gone horribly wrong. It only generates a single triangle (pointed like an arrow of sorts) to minimize the amount of vertices generated; it would be possible to make an actual arrow, but honestly it isn't needed.

  2. Client: Add surface normals to generated debug boxes 

    This is mostly so that visual testing becomes easier (can just use the existing cube3d demo scene).

  3. Client: Add a normals visualization to the cube3d scene 

    A flatly shaded unit cube is probably the simplest "interesting" shape to test the generated normals visualization with.

  4. Client: Add a toggle for debugging terrain normals 

    They are currently placeholders, but while implementing smooth shading for terrain surfaces this tool came in handy - might want to re-enable it later if some changes have to be made here.

  5. Client: Increase the maximum GPU buffer size to 256 MB 

    This is the default WebGPU limit, so it should be safe to use. The existing one is too small to render large maps with normal visualization enabled (such as schg_dun01 or nif_fild01) - there's just too many vertices since each vertex normal necessitates three more for the visualization itself.
