simplify defended territory rendering logic

Replace epoch-based defended texture tracking with hard-clear approach for
improved reliability and performance. Remove complex dirty state tracking
and epoch incrementing logic in favor of direct hard clears before rebuilds.

Changes:
- Remove wasDefensePostsDirty tracking from TerritoryRenderer
- Replace numUpdates > 0 checks with hasStateUpdates boolean
- Hard-clear defended texture before restamping instead of epoch management
- Mark DefendedUpdatePass as dirty when rebuilding defended state
- Rebuild bind group in DefendedUpdatePass when missing, not just on buffer change

This eliminates potential transient mismatches where defended rendering
disappeared between rebuilds and simplifies the update pipeline.
