All GPU APIs except OpenGL ES 2 can generate mipmaps for textures.
This trades 33% more GPU memory use for improved rendering quality
and speed for downscaled images.

MemoryBarrier is meant to stand in for OpenGL ES 3.1's glMemoryBarrier.
However, it badly fits with the other backends: Metal and D3D11 have
automatic memory barriers, and Vulkan needs barriers for graphics as
well.
This change removes MemoryBarrier, and puts the burden on the backends.
The OpenGL backend simply adds a barrier between every compute dispatch.
This change only adds a single memory barrier compared to the manual
barriers before this change, which is unlikely to affect performance
much.. We can revisit the automatic barriers if they ever become a
performance problem.

driver.Device.NewFramebuffer doesn't provide additional information over
driver.Device.NewTexture, so Texture can hold its (optional) framebuffer
on behalf of the renderers. Metal don't even need a separate framebuffer
object.

Vulkan textures (VkImage) are always in a particular layout, where each
layout is optimized for a particular use (transfer, sampling, compute
storage). Vulkan allows layout transitions everywhere except inside
render passes. This change adds driver.Device.PrepareTexture for
instructing the driver to switch a texture to a layout for sampling
in preparation for using it in a render pass.

Vulkan doesn't support changing uniforms during a render pass. However,
push constants *can* be changed. The gio-shader repository was changed
to use push constants instead of uniforms, this change implements the
corresponding driver and renderer change.

Modern GPU API such as Metal and Vulkan use explicit render passes
and command buffers for recording rendering commands. They don't have
global state; each render pass starts with a clean set of bound
textures, pipeline etc.
Change our GPU abstraction to better match newer API and modify our two
renderers to explicitly describe their render passes.

This change implements support for compute programs in the Direct3D 11
driver. The compute renderer doesn't work for me yet; my NVIDIA GTX 970
and Intel GPUs both display corrupted output and hangs.

OpenGL ES 2.0 doesn't support glBlitFramebuffer, but does support
glCopyTexSubImage2D. Fortunately, we don't need the extra features of
glBlitFramebuffer anyway.

The Metal (and presumably the D3D11) backend doesn't support transformed
framebuffer blits. The only caller doesn't need it either, so drop that
capability from the driver abstraction.

Modern API such as Metal and Vulkan want clients to compile expensive
state changes into pipeline objects. Change our GPU driver abstraction
to match, thereby paving the way for future drivers.

Both the OpenGL and the Direct3D API are stateful and gpu.GPU renders to
the render target current when Frame is called.
Modern GPU API such as Metal don't have a concept of a current render
target, and the target even changes each frame.
Add RenderTarget and add an explicit target argument to GPU.Frame as
well as the underlying driver.Device.BeginFrame.

The compute renderer doesn't run on Windows yet, but the d3d11 backend needs
the method to satisfy the driver interface.

Programs such as gio-example/glfw rely on Gio drawing blending with
the framebuffer background. This change makes it so when sRGB emulation
is active.

Literal strings are a more compact than literal byte slices. A future
change will switch to go:embed to save even more space.
