Performance|Renderer|Refactor: Retain constness in APIs; avoid redundant memory allocs
It is important not to accidentally lost constness of object references, particularly when dealing with Qt containers. Non-const access to containers may force Qt to detach the data into a separate private instance.
However, the most impactful change is the removal of the QBitArray in Rend_RadioBspLeafEdges(). Allocating and freeing the array in complex maps is much slower than simply calculating dot products for the planes as we go.
