InputLayout is the abstraction for the mapping between vertex data and
shader inputs. The mapping is implicit in OpenGL but explicit in
Direct3D.
Infer the attribute name location index using shader reflection data,
and get rid of a parameter to NewProgram.

We're about to add Direct3D support, where shaders are written in
HLSL. Rather than write shaders twice (or more), convert them to
a GLSL variant understood by the glslcc cross-compiler and generate
the OpenGL ES 2.0 and HLSL variants. The HLSL is used by a future
change.

The GPU implementation only uses immutable buffers so far, so let's
make it easy and performant for the backends.

Before this change, the index buffer would start empty and grow up to the
maximum size (128kb). It would never shrink. We're about to tighten the GPU
buffer API to be immutable for performance and to better match Direct3D, so
allocate the index buffer once at startup, and limit it to a reasonable size.

The new field ImageOp.Rect is initialized to cover the entire source
image, but can be modified to draw only a section of it.

A recent change made the OpenGL functions an interface of the functions
required for the implementation of GPU, a renderer for Gio operations.
That allowed for running Gio on external systems where OpenGL is
available.
However, to allow for non-OpenGL flavored backends such as Vulkan,
Metal and Direct3D, this change introduces Backend for the high-level
operations required by GPU. This change also adds a concrete backend
to package gl.
Type Backend is a first cut heavily based on OpenGL. Future changes will add
more backends, where the Backend interface quite possibly will need refinement.

The rendering implementation is needed for using Gio UI with external
window libraries such as GLFW. Expose it in the new package gpu.
