LineSegments2 raycast bug

[rajsunku]

Description

When a LineSegments2 object is rendered off the screen, the LineMaterial.resolution variable doesn't get updated until the onBeforeRender function is run. This causes raycasters to intersect with the lines incorrectly even when they are not on the screen. It gets resolved once you pan to the line since the resolution gets updated.

Reproduction steps

1. Render a line outside of camera view
2. If your app has some picking logic that highlights a line that is selected, click anywhere on the screen.
3. Once you pan to the line, you will see that it is highlighted.

I think there's a bigger question of what these screenspace thickness lines should do for raycasting when they're off screen - if a line is off screen there's not a clear interpretation of what "screen space" means. And projecting into camera clip space to to perform the raycasting won't necessarily have sensible results.

@rajsunku Can you please provide a live example to demonstrate exactly what you are doing?
