Leonardo Zide 6438bf2682 Expand far clipping distance when fitting large models
Large models can extend beyond the default far plane after fitting,
leaving the view blank or clipped. Pass an explicit adjustment flag
through view, model, and camera fitting, and reuse the fitted bounds
to expand clipping with a margin, rounded up to multiples of 10,000.

Adjust restored ordinary cameras after applying their saved state.
Preserve named cameras and explicit command-line clipping planes,
and avoid recalculating clipping during redraws or navigation.

Route output fitting through the view and move the bounds policy
definition out of the precompiled header.
