This includes a few fixes in the MBC_ api.
The idea here is for this to be the only interface the render engines
will deal with for the meshes.
If we need to expose special options for sculpting engine we refactor
this accordingly. But for now we are shaping this in a per-case base.
Note:
* We still need to hook up to the depsgraph to force clear/update of
batch_cache when mesh changes
(I'm waiting for Sergey Sharybin's depsgraph update for this though)
* Also ideally we could/should use BMesh directly instead of
DerivedMesh, but this will do for now.
Note 2:
In the end I renamed the `BKE_mesh_render` functions to `static
mesh_render`. We can re-expose them as BKE_* later once we need it.

Fixed compile error in debug build (thanks mont29)
Renamed some functions for consistency.
New features:
Create a Batch with immediate mode! Just use immBeginBatch instead of immBegin. You can keep the result and draw it as many times as you like. This partially replaces the need for display lists.
Copy a VertexFormat, and create a VertexBuffer using an existing format.
Resize a VertexBuffer to a different number of vertices. (can only resize BEFORE using it to draw)
Follow-up to rBddb1d5648dbd
API is nearly complete but untested.
1) create batch with vertex buffer & optional index buffer
2) choose shader program
3) draw!
Vertex Buffer to store vertex attribute data.
Element List (AKA Index Buffer) to select which vertices to use.
Batch combines these into an object that can be built once then drawn
many times.
Porting over from the C++ version… Most of this C code is compiled but
unused. Some of it is not even compiled. Committing now in case I’m
lost at sea.
