3D per-cell biomes (4x4x4) with surface/underground/cave layers

- Chunk stores per-section biome arrays (64 cells/section); flat generators
  keep the uniform single-valued fallback.
- New writeBiomePalette uses min 1 bpe and direct at registry width (65 biomes).
- Climate sampler splits 2D axes (sampled once per column) from 3D depth
  (per cell), keeping per-cell cost to a single density-function compute.
- Full biome parameter table (surface + underground twins + lush/dripstone/
  deep_dark caves) with depth as a true range, not a binary layer.
- fillBiomes3D fills the 1536 cells/chunk in parallel; <0.3ms overhead vs
  baseline chunk gen (benchmark-verified).
- Tests: cave-biome resolution, per-cell variation, flat-world regression,
  registry-range validity, plus chunk-gen and per-cell benchmarks.
