Option to enable deterministic rendering (#11248)
# Objective

Issue #10243: rendering multiple triangles in the same place results in
flickering.

## Solution

Considered these alternatives:
- `depth_bias` may not work, because of high number of entities, so
creating a material per entity is practically not possible
- rendering at slightly different positions does not work, because when
camera is far, float rounding causes the same issues (edit: assuming we
have to use the same `depth_bias`)
- considered implementing deterministic operation like
`query.par_iter().flat_map(...).collect()` to be used in
`check_visibility` system (which would solve the issue since query is
deterministic), and could not figure out how to make it as cheap as
current approach with thread-local collectors (#11249)

So adding an option to sort entities after `check_visibility` system
run.

Should not be too bad, because after visibility check, only a handful
entities remain.

This is probably not the only source of non-determinism in Bevy, but
this is one I could find so far. At least it fixes the repro example.

## Changelog

- `DeterministicRenderingConfig` option to enable deterministic
rendering
