Benchmarking showed that the double map access calls
were a bottleneck. Rework the cache to avoid half of them.
The simplest, naive approach would have been to store a
pointer to a struct with a keep field in the map, allowing cheap
update and frame() operation. Benchmarking showed that the
increased GC pressure of that approach decreased performance
however.

Previously the cache was only filled during gpu-buffer creation,
resulting in extra work on the CPU to transform vertices if the same
shape was used multiple times in the same frame. Cases such as font
rendering was cached already before this change as it is drawn in it's
own op.Ops that is never reset - and thus re-used from one frame
to the next.
Since we are now calling put() twice per frame an update should no
longer panic.

Cache also CPU operations by moving pathCache into
drawOps and use it in collectOps to avoid splitting and
transformation of quads if in cache. In order to support
this use a concrete type in opCache instead of interface.

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.
