Major refactor of OpenGL VAO and VBO structures. The new API is much
easier to use and has been simplified. Drawing now involves just having
a VAO and setting the VBOs as attributes for the shader.
We currently store the data passed to the GPU in system RAM, effectively
doubling our storage requirements. This is mostly to aid in using a
debugger like GDB instead of needing to use something like CodeXL. This
could be disabled with a compiler preprocessor macro.
glvertexbuffer could probably be a template class, however at the
present moment there is not need, because we simply need to upload the
data to the GPU, and there is no real emphasis on modifying it on the
CPU side.
