Gio UI may be overlaid on top of custom graphics such as in the glfw example.
That will only work if Gio doesn't clear the screen (to white).

While here, merge BeginFrame and EndFrame; the split was done for
performance reasons, yet never measured.

The Window creates the context, and should also be responsible for
destroying it.
As a bonus, the wrong release ordering of loop.renderLoop is fixed.
Before this change, the context would be destroyed before the renderer
got a chance to destroy its resources.

This is a refactoring change to prepare for another gpu.Backend
implementations.
Notably, app/loop.go no longer imports gpu/gl.

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.

The policy of rendering on a separate goroutine is separate from
the actual rendering. Reflect that by introducing the RenderLoop
type for driving a GPU from a separate goroutine.
