Fix AmbientLight::affects_lightmapped_meshes not working (#20083)
# Objective

Fix lightmapped materials not respecting the
AmbientLight::affects_lightmapped_meshes setting.

NOTE: This only makes the setting work on the forward renderer. Making
it work on the deferred renderer would probably require encoding more
information in the g-buffer or similar. Please advise if I missed some
obvious way to get it working on deferred.

## Solution

- Make ambient light conditionally applied depending on the
affects_lightmapped_meshes setting when material mesh i lightmapped
- Remove what looks to be leftover `Lights` (wgsl) members:
`environment_map_smallest_specular_mip_level`,
`environment_map_intensity`. (These where not present in the rust
equivalent `GpuLights` and was not used in the wgsl code)

## Open Questions
- Ambient light is also blended into the transmitted light if
`DIFFUSE_TRANSMISSION` is enabled on the material. Should that also be
guarded by the same conditional as the indirect contribution?

## Testing

Ran a modified version of the lightmaps example, where there is a bright
red ambient light added and the small cube do not have a lightmap added
(To be able to see ambient light applied to meshes without lightmaps)

## Showcase
### Main: Lightmap example with bright red ambient, small box have no
lightmap

/>

(All meshes get ambient light even when `affects_lightmapped_meshes =
false`)

### This PR: Lightmap example with bright red ambient, small box have no
lightmap

(Only the small box get ambient light when `affects_lightmapped_meshes =
false`)
