Experimenting with tessellation subdivision formula:
using dot product for backface culling as a parameter of camera-to-face distance and angle.
Also includes face area as a parameter: the larger the face, the more subdivisions it'll need.
Visualizing this with colors, blended with the lighting data.

Implemented backface culling per face, by adding plane and center point fields to the face struct and checking the plane's normal against the camera vector to the center point.
This eliminates the need for per-polygon normal clipping and reduces the amount of redundant vertex copying, for a measurable speed boost.

Fixes to make things work on real hardware again:
- Struct pointers need to be 32-bit aligned, otherwise the PS1 will crash
- For this purpose, some structs have been padded to make them a multiple of 4 bytes in size
- Vector data needs to be copied into scratch RAM at a 32-bit aligned address

Use the node and leaf data to traverse the entire BSP tree and draw all attached faces.
This already gets rid of all the collision volumes that were being drawn before.

Faces can now carry their own per-vertex lighting data, instead of sharing all vertex data with adjacent faces.

Faces now have a vertex index list, which is more space-efficient and allows easy rewrites of polygon topology.
Also works quite well with the scratchpad RAM setup.

First implementation of world loading and rendering. No BSP logic or optimizations in here yet, but something is being displayed!
