This unifies vertex and texture data formats
into a single base enum class.
`TextureFormat` and `VertexFormat` then mask
the invalid format for their respective usage.
Having a base enum allows casting between
`TextureFormat` and `VertexFormat` possible
(needed for Buffer Textures).
It also makes it easier to write and read data
to buffers/textures as each format will have an
associated host type.
These enum is generated from MACRO expansion.
This allow to centralize all information about
the formats in one place. This avoid duplicating
the list of enums for each backend.
This only creates the new enum. Porting older enums will
be done in other PRs.

And slightly simplify two string processing functions in this API,
`GPU_vertformat_safe_attr_name` and `copy_attr_name`.
This makes the API easier to interface with from C++ code,
and can avoid unnecessary string length measurements.

Move the code dealing with converting float3 to GPU normals
out of the vertex format header into a separate header. Use a
proper C++ namespace and remove duplication by only using
the more recently added C++ templated conversions.
Most of the diff comes from the removal of the indirect includes
from GPU_vertex_format.hh. A lot of files ended up mistakenly
depending on that.
