Raytracer: map faces to looks once (#10502)

* claim: Raytracer: map faces to looks once

* Raytracer: map faces to looks once per body

Preparing a body for the CPU raytracer walked the body's face look list
one entry per work step for every triangle, so a body cost T x (F + 1)
steps (each through the job host) instead of T. The face looks are now
sorted once per body, keeping the first entry per face as before, and
each triangle finds its look with one binary search. Pixels are
unchanged; with 10 000 faces and 50 to 500 face looks, preparation
drops by 40 to 88 %.
