The previous API for clearing storage buffers was following the OpenGL
api. OpenGL has many options to support for data conversions, striding
and sizzling. Metal and Vulkan don't have these features and we have to
deal it ourselves.
Blender internally only uses a tiny subset for what is possible in
OpenGL. Making the current API to difficult to implement on our future
platforms as we had to implement all cases, most even not used at all.
By changing the API we make future development easier as we only need
to implement what we are actually using.
**New API**
`GPU_storagebuf_clear(GPUStorageBuf* ssbo, uint32_t clear_value)`

This allows using the Graphic API to copy buffer data.
The GPU module do not expose untyped buffers even if that's what most API
do, so the copy function need to be strongly typed.
Contains GL backend implementation.
This is a faster way to clear a buffer instead of reuploading new data.
It is equivalent to `memset` and runs directly on the GPU.
This is better to clear huge buffers and to avoid the sync cost of data upload.
