Annotation raytracing as overlay

This was the initial attempt at non-scene-geometry annotation raytracing.
Squashed down to one commit for simpler diff review.

Clear Werror=subobject-linkage issue
use bu_strcmp
Make annotation intersections scale independent
Use relative parallel and determinant tests so valid annotations are not rejected after small model transforms.  Carry the caller's model tolerance into visibility decisions and cover both behaviors in the focused annotation semantics test.
Use a strict annotation hit ordering
Compare hit distances exactly before using the path as a tie breaker.  Approximate equality in a std::sort predicate is not transitive and can violate the strict weak ordering required by the C++ standard library.
Preserve hit distance in simple rt lightmodels
Record the first partition distance in viewit, matching colorview.  Annotation compositing uses this value to keep model-space marks behind foreground geometry for lightmodels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.
Defer NIRT annotation reporting
Remove the provisional useannot mode instead of emitting records outside NIRT's fmt system.  This preserves existing structured output contracts and avoids extending the public nirt_opt_vals layout until annotation records have a complete formatter design.
Use annotation line styles for render width
Remove the redundant object-wide render_width field, ANR2 payload, and --stroke-width option.  Ray renderers now rely on the established per-segment line_width style over an automatic base width, preserving the public primitive layout and avoiding another database extension.  Document and test the ray coverage behavior.
Name the ADRT model coordinate scale
Replace repeated 1000-to-1 load conversions with ADRT_MODEL_UNITS_PER_TIE_UNIT so geometry and annotation compositing share one documented coordinate convention.
Keep annotations out of the librender camera ABI
Replace camera-resident annotation fields with an additive render_camera_render_annotations entry point.  Per-render private state now carries the scene, coordinate scale, and derived view while the public render_camera_t and thread-data layouts remain unchanged.  Preserve primary rays before shaders mutate them so annotation compositing evaluates the intended sample.
Define ISST annotation scene ownership
Make GFile release its annotation scene and TIE data, destroy the render window before its GFile owner, and clear the renderer under its mutex before reloading.  Queued renders now reject cleared scenes after acquiring the context, preventing use-after-free during reload and shutdown.
Cache rt annotation preparation state
Keep annotation scene and view state private to do.c, expose read-only accessors to workers, and reuse prepared coverage when the database, selected paths, and tolerances are unchanged.  Explicitly invalidate on animation changes and centralize cleanup.
Add a NIRT annotation output format
Add opt-in NIRT annotation reporting
Document NIRT annotation diagnostics
Document annotation and view-object roles
Remove the unused ISST application meta-object
ISSTApp declares no signals, slots, properties, or invokable methods.  Avoid generating a redundant derived meta-object, which also prevents Qt 6 from rejecting the member main-window construction during application startup.
Use Qt 6 OpenGL dependencies for ISST
Qt6::OpenGL and Qt6::OpenGLWidgets already carry the platform OpenGL implementation.  Do not also link the independently discovered host OpenGL target, which can select a different GL ABI and bypass Qt's configured backend.
Keep ISST annotations out of NMG tessellation
ISST renders annotations through its dedicated annotation scene.  Exclude annotation-only roots from the geometry walk and replace annotation leaves in mixed trees with empty nodes so the independent NMG path does not report unsupported tessellation.
Share ADRT annotation tessellation filtering
Frame ISST views using annotation bounds
Gate ART annotation frame processing
Honor inherited colors in annotation renders

Composite ordered annotation coverage with RTree indices

+Annotation and view-object rendering notes
+==========================================
+
+Scope
+-----
+
+BRL-CAD has two related, but deliberately distinct, ways to represent visual
+markup:
+
+* An annotation is an ID_ANNOT database primitive.  It is persistent model
+  content with enough semantic and presentation information to be reproduced
+  outside the application that created it.
+* A view object is application-owned scene state.  It is useful for interactive
+  construction and manipulation, but is intentionally not backed by a database
+  object.
+
+They share portions of the interactive display infrastructure, but they do not
+currently have interchangeable ownership, lifetime, or rendering semantics.
+
+
+Annotation capabilities
+-----------------------
+
+An rt_annot_internal stores a model-space anchor, a set of 2D vertices, and
+either a model plane basis or screen-space placement.  Its segment types cover
+lines, circular arcs, NURBS, Beziers, text, and filled polygons.  Segment style
+records include a semantic role, line pattern and width, RGBA color, font or
+symbol, text scaling, and decorative flags.
+
+The libged annotate command can create styled text, leaders, linear/angular/
+radius/diameter/ordinate dimensions, and bounding-box autodim groups.  It can
+regenerate derived annotations from saved attributes and associate them with
+source model objects without making them part of those objects' CSG trees.
+
+Annotations therefore have the properties needed for persistent markup:
+
+* database naming, paths, transforms, and instances;
+* survival across save/reopen and transfer to another application;
+* semantic segment roles and per-segment presentation data;
+* model-space and view-dependent screen-space placement; and
+* high-level generation metadata and source-object associations.
+
+An annotation is informational coverage, not a CSG solid.  The raytracing
+implementation preserves that distinction.  It prepares annotation coverage
+from active database paths and composites it on primary samples after ordinary
+geometry has established color and depth.  Model-space annotation coverage is
+occluded by nearer solid geometry.  Screen-space annotation coverage uses the
+render view and image dimensions.  Annotations do not acquire artificial
+volume, alter model bounds, cast shadows, or participate in reflection and
+refraction rays.
+
+Visible coverage is returned in back-to-front layers.  Model-space layers are
+ordered by ray distance, followed by view-space layers ordered by projected
+anchor depth; segment draw order breaks ties within an annotation.  This lets
+the image renderers apply source-over alpha consistently while retaining the
+single-frontmost-hit query for compatibility.  NIRT continues to report one
+frontmost segment per model-space annotation rather than exposing these
+presentation layers as solid partitions.
+
+Color follows normal database tree state.  An annotation segment with an
+explicit RGBA style wins; otherwise it inherits the resolved combination-path
+color; otherwise it is white.  The legacy region-ID color table is not applied
+to annotation display or coverage, since annotations are informational leaves
+rather than regions.
+
+Prepared coverage uses the existing libbg RTree implementation.  A 3D RTree
+culls model-space annotation instances and a 2D local RTree culls segments
+inside every annotation.  Screen-space instance extents cannot be placed in a
+static world-space index because they change with the view, so those instances
+remain in a compact list while still using their local segment RTree.  This
+avoids a new spatial data structure and keeps prepared scenes immutable and
+safe for concurrent sample queries.
+
+The rt, ART, and ADRT/ISST integrations follow this overlay model.  ERT invokes
+rt with the database, displayed database paths, and view, so database-backed
+annotations can follow that route as well.  ERT does not currently serialize
+or pass application-owned view objects to its subprocess.
+
+NIRT keeps annotation diagnostics opt-in.  `useannot 1` enables model-space
+annotation intersections, and the `fmt a` action reports them.  Default NIRT
+output is unchanged.  Screen-space annotations are deliberately omitted
+because a NIRT ray does not define an image size, pixel footprint, or complete
+model-to-view mapping.
+
+
+View-object capabilities
+------------------------
+
+The core representation is bv_scene_obj.  A view set owns shared view objects,
+and a particular bview can also own local objects.  Independent views force
+local ownership.  bv_obj_put recycles objects when their application lifetime
+ends; the objects are not written to the .g database.
+
+The `view obj` command exposes the principal markup types:
+
+* Lines are model-coordinate polylines represented by vlists.  Generic scene
+  rendering can add arrowheads to segment ends.
+* Labels have a model anchor and optional model-space target/leader.  Their text
+  is projected and drawn as screen-facing HUD text.  If the command omits Z,
+  screen X/Y coordinates are projected onto the current view plane at creation
+  time.
+* Polygons include general polygons, circles, ellipses, rectangles, and
+  squares.  Creation and editing operate on a saved view plane with a view-Z
+  offset.  Selection, movement, open/close, area, overlap, and 2D boolean
+  operations are supported.  A "fill" is currently a set of hatch lines, not
+  an opaque surface.  Polygons can be explicitly imported from or exported to
+  persistent sketch primitives.
+
+Scene objects also provide object color, transparency, pixel line width, dash
+style, and arrow dimensions.  Not all of these properties have a uniform
+command interface for every object type.
+
+There are other visual layers that should not be conflated with these objects.
+Legacy gv_tcl data/sdata arrows, axes, lines, labels, and polygons have a
+separate representation.  Faceplate/HUD elements are screen UI.  Database
+objects temporarily cloned for editing are also transient, but retain database
+primitive semantics and live in the database-object scene containers.
+
+
+Comparison
+----------
+
+Both annotations and view objects eventually produce display-manager pixels,
+often through bv_scene_obj and vlists.  That common final path does not make
+their source representations equivalent.
+
+Annotations are the canonical choice when markup must be saved, named in a
+database, instanced, shared, raytraced from a .g file, or understood by another
+program.  View objects are the right choice for application/session state that
+must be created and manipulated without changing the database.
+
+Some view objects have a direct annotation analogue, but conversion is not
+lossless without type-aware logic:
+
+* A view polyline maps naturally to line segments, including arrowhead style.
+* A polygon outline and its hatch lines can map to annotation coverage, but the
+  existing view "fill" must not silently become an opaque filled polygon.
+* A label is hybrid.  Its target and leader are model-space geometry while its
+  glyphs remain screen-facing at a projected model anchor.
+* Arbitrary vlist extraction is insufficient because display-matrix commands,
+  point and line sizes, child objects, glyph behavior, and semantic roles are
+  otherwise lost or ambiguous.
+
+View-object line width and annotation line width also need an explicit unit
+policy.  View-object widths are display pixels.  Screen-space annotation widths
+are view-dependent coverage widths.  A model-space annotation's line_width is
+used as a scale on the automatically selected model-space stroke width.  In
+other words, removing a separate raytracer "stroke-width" setting does not
+remove width control: the annotation's existing line_width/`--line-width`
+style remains the single user-facing control.  The renderer interprets it in
+the appropriate coordinate system rather than exposing a second competing
+knob.
+
+
+Recommended transient rendering design
+--------------------------------------
+
+Do not make librt or the raytracers depend on bv_scene_obj, libbv application
+containers, or libged.  Do not manufacture tubes, TGCs, meshes, or geometry
+just in front of the view plane.  Artificial geometry would affect bounds,
+depth, shadows, and secondary rays, and would make antialiasing and perspective
+behavior depend on a fabricated distance from the eye.
+
+If transient view objects need to appear in raytraced output, use an explicit
+application-to-renderer snapshot boundary:
+
+1. The GED/application layer snapshots selected live view objects when a render
+   is launched.  This is the only layer that owns their lifetime and semantics.
+2. A type-aware adapter in libged or libbv translates supported objects into a
+   renderer-neutral overlay/coverage description.  It should reuse annotation
+   coverage preparation through an in-memory annotation-instance interface,
+   rather than duplicate line, glyph, and arrow intersection algorithms.
+3. The snapshot travels with the exact view state: model-to-view transform,
+   perspective, image width and height, and sampling convention.  In-process
+   renderers can receive it directly; subprocess rt/ERT needs an explicit
+   serialized side channel.
+4. Raytracers composite this coverage only on primary image samples, after
+   geometry color and depth are known.  It remains outside CSG, model bounds,
+   shadows, reflections, and refractions.
+5. Initial support should be deliberately finite: polyline strokes and
+   arrowheads, label glyphs and leaders, polygon outlines, and polygon hatches.
+   Faceplate elements and legacy gv_tcl overlays should be separately specified
+   opt-in layers rather than being included accidentally.
+6. Snapshot records should preserve object name and type, RGBA, visibility,
+   local/shared ownership, presentation units, and source identity.  Unsupported
+   object types should produce a deliberate diagnostic or documented omission.
+
+Application-side compositing of the interactive display-manager layer over an
+ERT framebuffer is a viable smaller feature if only ERT screen captures need
+view objects.  It would closely reproduce the interactive view, but it would
+not make the objects available to standalone rt, ART, or ISST output and should
+not be presented as the general renderer solution.
+
+Conversion between the two systems should remain explicit.  Automatically
+turning view objects into database annotations would violate their deliberately
+transient contract.  A user command to promote selected view markup to a
+persistent annotation would be reasonable; polygon-to-sketch export is an
+existing precedent.  Conversely, a view-object editor may be used as a front
+end for constructing an annotation, provided the persistence action is clear.
+
+
+Maintenance findings before implementing the adapter
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+Several representation issues should be corrected before type-driven snapshot
+conversion is relied upon:
+
+* Container-selection flags (BV_DB_OBJS, BV_VIEW_OBJS, BV_LOCAL_OBJS, and
+  BV_CHILD_OBJS) reuse numeric bits also used for semantic s_type_flags
+  (BV_DBOBJ_BASED, BV_VIEWONLY, BV_LINES, and others).  bv_obj_create currently
+  assigns its type argument to s_type_flags.  A local view object consequently
+  acquires BV_LINES incidentally, while the line command does not explicitly
+  tag lines.  The namespaces should be separated and every object explicitly
+  typed.
+* Lines, labels, and polygons should have unambiguous type tags and per-type
+  lifecycle/extraction callbacks.  Snapshot conversion must inspect typed data,
+  not infer semantics from a rendered vlist.
+* Label construction should initialize every bv_label field deliberately,
+  including size, line_flag, anchor, arrow, and target.  Current construction
+  does not establish all of those values on every path.
+* The status of legacy gv_tcl overlay data should be decided explicitly:
+  migrate it, support it through a separate adapter, or document its exclusion.
+* Screen-space annotation display and raytrace units need a parity test.  The
+  legacy display-matrix vlist path and the ray coverage path currently express
+  screen offsets through different mechanisms; their apparent agreement must
+  be verified rather than assumed.
+* Per-segment annotation colors exceed the legacy interactive vlist object's
+  single-color model.  Uniform annotate-command colors work today, but true
+  multicolor interactive parity may require split scene objects or a richer
+  display representation.
+
+Tests for a future adapter should cover shared and local ownership, cleanup,
+label anchors and leaders, polygon holes/hatches/view-Z, perspective, pixel
+width, model-space occlusion, screen-space overlay, and serialization across
+the ERT subprocess boundary.
+
+
+Conclusion
+----------
+
+Persistent annotations and transient view objects should continue to coexist.
+The annotation coverage scene is the correct renderer-side abstraction for
+both saved annotations and a future snapshot of transient markup.  The
+application should perform the semantic conversion and transfer a view-complete
+snapshot; the renderer should treat it as primary-ray coverage, never as
+invented scene geometry.
