[tinyish] Simplify / skip some work in Shape (#3176)

This PR is a minor cleanup of the Shape component.

Here we:
- use some dumb memoized info to avoid unnecessary style changes
- move the dpr check up out of the shapes themselves, avoiding renders
on instance state changes

Culled shapes:
- move the props setting on the culled shape component to a layout
reactor
- no longer set the height / width on the culled shape component
- no longer update the culled shape component when the shape changes

Random:
- move the arrow shape defs to the arrow shape util (using that neat API
we didn't used to have)

 This component renders shapes on the canvas. There are two stages: positioning
 and styling the shape's container using CSS, and then rendering the shape's 
 JSX using its shape util's render method. Rendering the "inside" of a shape is
-more expensive than positioning it or changing its color, so we use React.memo
+more expensive than positioning it or changing its color, so we use memo
 to wrap the inner shape and only re-render it when the shape's props change. 
 
 The shape also receives props for its index and opacity. The index is used to
 determine the z-index of the shape, and the opacity is used to set the shape's
 opacity based on its own opacity and that of its parent's.
