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.

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.
