Reduce the use of atomics in the render phase (#7084)
# Objective
Speed up the render phase of rendering. An extension of #6885.
`SystemState::get` increments the `World`'s change tick atomically every time it's called. This is notably more expensive than a unsynchronized increment, even without contention. It also updates the archetypes, even when there has been nothing to update when it's called repeatedly.
## Solution
Piggyback off of #6885. Split `SystemState::validate_world_and_update_archetypes` into `SystemState::validate_world` and `SystemState::update_archetypes`, and make the later `pub`. Then create safe variants of `SystemState::get_unchecked_manual` that still validate the `World` but do not update archetypes and do not increment the change tick using `World::read_change_tick` and `World::change_tick`. Update `RenderCommandState` to call `SystemState::update_archetypes` in `Draw::prepare` and `SystemState::get_manual` in `Draw::draw`.
## Performance
There's a slight perf benefit (~2%) for `main_opaque_pass_3d` on `many_foxes` (340.39 us -> 333.32 us)

## Alternatives
We can change `SystemState::get` to not increment the `World`'s change tick. Though this would still put updating the archetypes and an atomic read on the hot-path.
