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.

This makes a few changes in how the data is being handled by the
backend to allow more flexibility in the future.
The overall code logic is left unchanged.
A handle refcount is here to avoid freeing of the GPUVertBuf datablock
if it is still referenced somewhere else.
This does not prevent deleting the actual data. This is to avoid too
much zombie data usage.
This is in order to avoid most hacks inside `draw_instance_data.c`.
