Preserve cutout rejection in the retained-node main pass.

When a coplanar surface writes the same depth as a rejected MASK fragment, the fragment passes Equal and shades with alpha 1. If drawn last, it fills the cutout. Keep cutout rejection for MASK nodes rather than relying on depth equality alone.

Review comment at @native/shared/src/renderer/mod.rs around lines 4023 - 4028:
Update the retained-node main pass around `scene_shader_prepassed` and
`fs_main_scene` to preserve alpha-cutout rejection for MASK nodes, so coplanar
fragments that pass the Equal depth test cannot fill rejected cutouts. Keep the
discard-free path only where it does not bypass MASK rejection.
