Modern graphics APIs have immutable objects, with mutable data. For example,
a texture's dimensions are immutable, while the texture contents is not.
Change the GPU API abstraction to match.
Clearing a Texture is convenient to do with a plain []byte. Generalize
Texture.Upload to take a plain byte slice and introduce a helper function for
uploading *image.RGBA data.
Add TextureFormatRGBA8 a format for the linear RGB colorspace.
Add OpenGL ES 3.1 functions for compute programs.

As a consequence, most API is gone from gpu/gl, and embedding Gio in
foreign frameworks don't need to provide an OpenGL implementation.
The next change simplifies the GLFW embedding example accordingly.

Use greater-than-or-equal test and saturate the z depth buffer
when more than 65k objects are drawn.

Safari's WebGL does not advertise support for EXT_color_buffer_half_float,
but does support rendering to float FBOs.

Specifying the clear color and depth at the time of clearing is
less error prone and a better for modern GPU APIs. As a bonus, we
can get rid of the BufferAttachment type.

DefaultFramebuffer was set up at Backend creation time, which is
difficult to predict. Instead, let GPU query and cache the current
FBO when created.

Along with ReadPixels in the next change, a Framebuffer with depth is enough to
implement screenshot functionality on top of any Backend.

"handling" means panicing, but at least the panicing is moved up
a layer, leaving future changes to do it properly in GPU.

OpenGL doesn't care if the texture to a framebuffer changes, but
Direct3D does. Change Backend to better match both APIs.

Direct3D needs to know the texture bind usage up front, in particular
whether the texture is going to be used as a render target.

It serves no purpose other than paranoia. Perhaps buggy drivers exists that
require unused texture slots cleared before drawing to a texture, but if so the
workaround belongs in the GL backend.

The offset argument to DrawElements is in 16-bit shorts, while the
underlying DrawElements use byte offsets.
No users of DrawElements use a non-zero offset, so nothing changed.

Emulate them for the OpenGL ES backend because 2.0 doesn't support uniform
buffers. The future d3d backend only supports uniform (constant) buffers.

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.

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.
