Async refactor #84

Open randomPoison opened 7 years ago

Refactor the renderer to user fibers in a manner similar to how we refactored the engine core. OpenGL still can handle running in parallel, but at the least we can make the renderer thread-safe to a degree and make it better integrate with the rest of the engine.

The biggest thing that could be improved here would be to move the resource handle management into the renderer. Currently the engine does a lot of work to turn the IDs generated by polygon into unique handles that can be used safely in a multi-threaded context. This work could be done by polygon directly, which would likely simplify the engine's code and bring some clarity as to other ways for polygon to be parallelized.
