Implement WieldMeshSceneNode which improves wield mesh rendering

- Don't create and cache an extruded mesh for every (non-node) item.
  Instead use a single one per image resolution.

- For cubic nodes reuse a single wield mesh too

- Improve lighting of the wielded item

- Increase far value of wield mesh scene camera, fixes #1770

- Also includes some minor refactorings of Camera and GenericCAO.
