7becc38a3c introduced new text rendering.
In the refactoring the vertex buffer was replaced by a more shallow
storage buffer. However the refactoring removed one optimization that
the vulkan backend uses, namely the actual amount of bytes that is being
used by the draw call. This resulted in overly large data transfers.
For example in the text editor the texts are rendered one glyph at a
time. But the storage buffer would always upload the data for 1024
glyphs.
This PR allows the usage size of a storage buffer to be set to ensure
that the data transfers are limited.
The implementation wasn't added to OpenGL as it draws incorrectly.
Issue detected during the research of !146956 That PR will implement
better data streaming inside the Vulkan backend and also requires
to know the actual usage size of the buffer to detect what data can
be grouped together.

This PR adds a context function to consider all
buffer bindings obsolete. This is in order to
track missing binds and invalid lingering states
accross `draw::Pass`es.
The functions `GPU_storagebuf_debug_unbind_all`
and `GPU_uniformbuf_debug_unbind_all` do nothing
more than resetting the internal debug slot bits
to zero. This is what OpenGL backend does as it
doesn't track the bindings themselves.
Other backends might have other way to detect
missing bindings. If not they should be
implemented separately anyway.
I renamed the function to `debug_unbind_all` to
denote that it actually does something related to
debugging.
This also add SSBO binding check for OpenGL as it
was also missing.
#### Future
This error checking logic is pretty much backend
agnostic. While it would be nice to move it at
`gpu::Context` level, we don't have the resources
for that now.

Now that all relevant code is C++, the indirection from the C struct
`GPUVertBuf` to the C++ `blender::gpu::VertBuf` class just adds
complexity and necessitates a wrapper API, making more cleanups like
use of RAII or other C++ types more difficult.
This commit replaces the C wrapper structs with direct use of the
vertex and index buffer base classes. In C++ we can choose which parts
of a class are private, so we don't risk exposing too many
implementation details here.
