Add 3D force-directed graph with instanced rendering and pre-computed positions

- Add ForceDirectedGraph3DInstanced.tsx for rendering millions of nodes efficiently
- Add precompute_force_layout.py script to generate positions offline
- Update backend to serve pre-computed positions in full-derivatives endpoint
- Update GraphPage to use instanced rendering for large graphs (>10k nodes)
- Include force_layout_3d.pkl with 1.86M pre-computed node positions
