But in the future the selection code may also be used in object mode (eg for snapping).
So to avoid using too much VRAM resources, it is good to avoid drawing all objects in the viewport.
The solution was to create an array with only objects that are detected within the selection area.
If the selection operator is modal, objects already detected are not removed from the array until view3d is moved or orbited.
To detect the object, its BoundBox is tested.
Since the Select Engine does not have a dedicated depth texture, whenever a new object is "found" the depth of the objects in the array already drawn is redrawn.

It is easier to deal with private values of the DRW_select engine and gives room for improvement.

`ED_view3d_select_id_read_rect` serves only as a bridge to `DRW_framebuffer_select_id_read`.
Keeping these codes similar only increases the complexity of some functions.

This commit moves the API of selecting faces, vertices and edges to a DRW manager engine.

- use DRW_engine prefix for engine types.
- use engine suffix for files that define a draw engine.
- remove engines from include path (they're only referenced once)
