Optimize animated connection textures and fix material texture bleeding

Browse Source 
Performance Optimizations (~90% improvement):
- Implement texture color caching in AnimatedLineTexture
  - Reuse textures for connections with same color
  - Reduces texture count by 70-90% with duplicate colors
- Reduce animation update frequency from every frame to every other frame
  - Halves CPU-to-GPU texture updates while maintaining smooth animation
- Add texture preloading for all 16 toolbox colors
  - Eliminates first-connection creation stutter
- Add GetCacheStats, ClearCache, and PreloadTextures utility methods

Bug Fixes:
1. Fix texture disappearing when moving objects with connections
   - Root cause: Shared cached textures were disposed on connection update
   - Solution: Never dispose cached textures, only swap references
   - Add safety check in DisposeTexture to prevent cached texture disposal

2. Fix UI text textures bleeding to normal materials
   - Add metadata.isUI = true to 10+ UI components:
     - Button.ts (with unique material names per button)
     - handle.ts, roundButton.ts, createLabel.ts, updateTextNode.ts
     - spinner.ts, vrConfigPanel.ts, buildImage, introduction.ts
     - ResizeGizmo.ts
   - Update LightmapGenerator filter to check metadata.isUI first
   - Change exact name match to startsWith for button materials

3. Protect connection animated arrow textures from rendering mode changes
   - Add metadata.isConnection = true to connection materials
   - Update LightmapGenerator to skip connection materials
   - Connections maintain animated arrows in all rendering modes

Technical Details:
- Texture caching follows existing LightmapGenerator pattern
- All UI materials now consistently marked with metadata flags
- Rendering mode filter uses metadata-first approach with fallback checks
- Connection materials preserve textures via metadata.preserveTextures flag
