Was using intermediate functions to store each data type.
This is still done in some places (for more involved access).
For basic data: coords, normals, colors..etc this is unnecessarily indirect.
Deactivated by default.
All shading attribs can be packed to take less VRAM at the cost of precision (not noticable in this case).
UVs can be packed into I16 but that limits their positions into the [-1, +1] range.
This could be a setting option in the future.
This implements weight rendering with the draw manager, with all drawing
options (Shading, wire, face masking, vertex masking).

This is a bad implementation waiting for some improvement that are :
- Gawain support for multiple names. -> will remove duplication of attribute alloc
- Glsl safe name string escaping. -> will remove any risk of hash colision.
Old glsl drawing was relying on attribute being choosen by DerivedMesh at drawing time.
For this reason, we declare all possible attrib "name" for each data layer inside the batches.
In the glsl code, we declare required data by type and name.
Then Gawain only bind vbos if names correspond.
This is way cleaner as we do not need to access the CD itself when drawing.
One other problem is that the hash maybe 11 caracters long and rapidly overload gawain's attrib name buffer.
- Added New Batch cache routine to get the split mesh for each material. (optimization needed)
- Did some shader modifications to create default_frag and support a somwhat correct fresnel for lamps (to finish)
