This is in order to make the API more multithread friendly inside the
draw manager.
GPU_shader_get_uniform will only serve to query the shader interface and
not do any GL call, making it threadsafe.
For now it only print a warning if the uniform was not queried before.
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.

Allow to pass in single numbers, sequences and mathutils.* types into `shader.uniform_float`.

The changes are:
- The shader now is passed as a parameter of the batch `draw` method (batch.draw(shader)). Since the batch always has to set a shader before drawing;
- The batch methods to specify a value to a uniform have been removed. Uniforms are parameters of the program (here called shader). If you change a uniform, it changes in all batchs that use the same program;
- New methods were added to set uniforms by the shader;
- The `batch.program_set_builtin` was removed. It is a duplicate of `program_set` but without a shader object. We need the shader object to configure the uniform;
