Fix explosion audio delay by using lightweight TransformNode

Changes:
- Replace MeshBuilder.CreateSphere() with TransformNode in rockFactory.ts
- Eliminates 15-50ms geometry creation delay before audio playback
- Spatial audio only needs position data, not full mesh geometry
- Sound now plays immediately on asteroid collision

Technical details:
- TransformNode is a lightweight position container with no geometry
- No vertex buffers or WebGL resources to allocate
- Instantaneous creation removes blocking operation from critical path
- Maintains spatial audio positioning without performance overhead
