Make coordinates in point cloud chunks independent from scene origin #58948

Until now, coordinates of chunks of point clouds were using "world" coordinates, i.e. they were relative to the 3D scene origin point. As a part of preparation for large scene support (QEP 301), we need coordinates inside chunks to be independent from the scene origin point. For each point cloud chunk, we pick origin point as a corner of the chunk's 3D box, which should guarantee that coordinates within chunk (floats) will have reasonable numerical precision.

I have also used the opportunity to simplify the code that handles point cloud chunk coordinates: rather than having flipped coordinates (x,-z,y) inside chunks, we are using map coordinates without flipping (x,y,z), only relative to the origin point of the chunk. The flipping of axes is handled by QTransform attached to each chunk. (Hopefully when all chunked entity implementations get updated, we will be able to remove all the axis flipping everywhere by just removing the rotation in associated QTransforms.)

There's also a fix for a crash, when point cloud uses coloring based on classification and triangulation is enabled (the pointSize array was not getting populated for parent nodes).

If point cloud rendering uses triangulation, the chunk loader
now may get cancelled before triangulation actually starts.
(So if e.g. user changes 3d renderer's properties, the refresh is faster)
