Draw Manager: Simplify the algorithm that extract the BoundingSphere of a Frustum

The idea is to separate the most common case from symmetrical frustum. And to make a simple but efficient calculation.

The new radius is usually 98% the size of the radius size of the asymmetric solution.

Thanks to @fclem for reviewing the patch on IRC
