fix(forms): cache field appearances drawn for display, redraw only what changed (#3470)

Review follow-up (CodeRabbit on #3475). A form edit refreshes the display
copy on every keystroke, and with /NeedAppearances that redrew every field
of the form: 68 ms per edit on a 1000-field form against 7 ms on main.

FieldAppearanceCache keeps each widget's drawing with the objects it was
drawn from: the widget and its field ancestors, the form dictionary and
the fonts of its /DR, each with the objects its entries refer to. An
entry is used only while each of them is still the same object
(Arc::ptr_eq); the document replaces an object it edits, so a changed
input is a miss, never a stale hit. The engine keeps one per editor. A
field edit on that form now takes 13 ms.

The repair note on a failed display write now names field appearances
too.
