Retire the near-eye cull by default: the eye-shroud is authentic content

The death sequence re-flushes the view with hither=1/yon=2 -- a thin
render shell that reveals geometry parked around the camera: the
escape-pod interior and the "blue swirly" ring dome (period VHS stills
of a 4.10 death match: violet concentric ripples, drifting center,
static canopy silhouette at the frame edge). Normal play clips the
shroud via the standard hither plane, so nothing leaks; the cull was
only masking authentic content. VRVIEW_NEARCULL=1 re-enables it.
