With shadows enabled, transparent areas of PIE models are drawn with a
hideous background colour.
This is especially apparent with the HQ and scavenger infantry.
Both got noticeably more ugly with the following commit:

Draw opaque models before shadows.

To assess its effect on HQ antennas, look at:
* the attached image [raw-attachment:shadow_drawing_old.png] to see its
presence
* the attached image [raw-attachment:shadow_drawing_new.png] to see its
absence
I suggest to revert the mentioned commit.
Yet once that is done, shadow drawing still remains far from ideal. Surely
we can do better?
