Minher0 5b2f305f72 instance3d: a dedicated 3D Layer Instance effect, and the copy is cached
CC Composite stays After Effects-pure: its Layer parameter is gone, so
parameter indices match AE again (scripts and expressions that address
parameters by index). The model reference lives in its own effect,
ec.3d.instance3d (3D Channel, CPU, one layer parameter), which replaces
the layer's pixels with the referenced layer's render — alpha included.

A referenced model's solo render is now hashed into the owner's cache key
instead of declining the entry (Bflat, review of #2410): the layer, its
animated values and transform, the mesh item, the comp camera and lights,
draft 3D, the renderer setting and the in/out gate. Covered by a render
test: the copy is cached, served on the second render, and re-rendered
when the camera pans or the model leaves its in/out range.
