Improve player and foliage shadow quality and stability

- ensure player transform sync is not gated by third-person so player shadow stays consistent

- hold shadow projection center during movement and snap once on stop to remove delayed catch-up

- smooth foliage caster transitions using blended phase-shifted UV samples

- tune foliage motion frequencies/amplitudes for less popping

- increase shadow map resolution to 2048 and retune terrain PCF texel scale

- increase global shadow strength from 0.62 to 0.68 for stronger, clearer shadows
