Old implementation has a single parser of many different
formats. With the introduction of Vulkan this would lead
to another parser in the same function. This patch
separates the log parsing using a visitor pattern so the
log parsing can be configured per GPU backend or even
per driver.
With Vulkan we manage the compiler our self so the parsing
will become more straight forward. The OpenGL part depends
on many factors (OS, Driver) and perhaps even GPU.
With the compute pipeline calculation can be offloaded to the GPU.
This patch only adds the framework for compute. So no changes for users at
this moment.
NOTE: As this is an OpenGL4.3 feature it must always have a fallback.
Use `GPU_compute_shader_support` to check if compute pipeline can be used.
Check `gpu_shader_compute*` test cases for usage.
This patch also adds support for shader storage buffer objects and device only
vertex/index buffers.
An alternative that had been discussed was adding this to the `GPUBatch`, this
was eventually not chosen as it would lead to more code when used as part of a
shading group. The idea is that we add an `eDRWCommandType` in the near
future.
