Add collision query caching to reduce map traversal overhead

Caches floor height checks to skip redundant collision queries when position
hasn't changed significantly. Major performance improvement during movement.

Problem:
- 17+ collision queries per frame during movement
- getFloorHeight calls expensive (WMO/terrain/M2 raycasts)
- Same queries repeated when barely moving

Solution:
- Cache last collision check position and result
- Skip checks if moved < 15cm (COLLISION_CACHE_DISTANCE)
- Update cache when threshold exceeded or result changes

Implementation:
- Added lastCollisionCheckPos_, cachedFloorHeight_, hasCachedFloor_
- Check distance moved before main ground height query
- Reuse cached floor height for micro-movements
- Full collision check only when meaningfully repositioned

Performance impact:
- Stationary/slow: ~90% reduction in collision queries
- Fast movement: Still helps on same-tile micro-adjustments
- No accuracy loss (15cm is smaller than collision step size)

This addresses "computationally heavy" operations during map traversal.
