Kelsi 2e0a7e0039 Fix taxi mount orientation and eliminate tile loading hitches
Fixes two critical taxi flight issues:

1. Mount orientation now correctly faces flight direction:
   - Prevent camera controller from updating facingYaw during taxi (externalFollow_ check)
   - Taxi orientation callback system updates mount rotation from spline tangent
   - Initial orientation set when flight starts
   - Smooth Catmull-Rom spline interpolation for natural curved paths

2. Eliminate frame hitches from tile loading during flight:
   - New taxiFlightStartCallback uploads ALL precached tiles to GPU before flight begins
   - Previously tiles loaded async during 3s mount delay but uploaded 1/frame during flight
   - Now processAllReadyTiles() blocks briefly after mount delay to batch upload everything
   - Combined with 2.0s terrain update interval and aggressive culling for smooth flight

Additional optimizations:
   - Aggressive taxi culling: skip models <15 units, all foliage/trees, underwater objects
   - Max render distance reduced to 150 units during taxi
   - Movement heartbeat packets disabled during taxi (server controls position)
   - Reduced taxi speed from 32 to 18 units/sec to prevent streaming overload
