Currently the GPU module for python has different ways to handle enums.
- Organizing items in `PyC_StringEnumItems` arrays and parsing them with `PyC_ParseStringEnum`.
- Using dedicated functions for each type of enum (`bpygpu_ParsePrimType`, `pygpu_ParseVertCompType` and `pygpu_ParseVertFetchMode`).
Although apparently more efficient (especially `pygpu_ParseVertCompType`
which transforms strings into integers for simple comparison), these
dedicated functions duplicate functionality, increase the complexity of
the code and consequently make it less readable.

The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Mixing file rename with other changes should be avoided.
Using 'module_py_api' convention here
is in keeping with imbuf, idprop, blf & bmesh.
No reason for gpu to have a different convention.
Instead of crashing, an error message is displayed if a function of the gpu module is called without a GPU context.

Maybe it's still early to set the new drawing api for python.
But joining these two modules is an initial step.
```
>>> gpu.
matrix
select
types
```
```
>>> gpu.types.GPU
Batch(
OffScreen(
VertBuf(
VertFormat(
```
The creation of a new offscreen object is now done by the `GPUOffscreen.__new__` method.
