Compared to Corrade, the improvement in compile time is about a minute
cumulative across all cores, or about 8 seconds on an 8-core system (~2
minutes before, ~1:52 after). Not bad at all. And this is with a
deprecated build, the non-deprecated build is 1:48 -> 1:41.
This prepares for SSBO support where the total count is unbounded (and
thus the value is ignored, thus it can be 0).
Also regroup the doc paragraphs so it's clear what's related to UBO
usage and what applies to classic uniforms as well.
High-level docs with examples will be written once there's corresponding
support in MeshTools::compile() *and* in importer plugins, as skinned
meshes are usually brought in from files, never set up directly.

Hah this took a while, as there was no texture scaffolding in place at
all. Thus all this had to be added and tested for the first time:
* 2D textures
* 2D texture arrays
* Texture transformation uniforms
* Texture transformation UBOs
* Instanced texture offset
This also means that MeshVisualizer can be used to visualize arbitrary
(single-channel) integer textures now, not just render meshes with
object ID textures. Yay for feature parity!
Originally the uniform wasn't present with the assumption that users
could easily adjust color map offset to achieve the same effect. That
was however unnecessarily annoying and error-prone in cases where it's
essential to have the same object IDs from multiple draws have a
matching color, and it was complicating multidraw workflows as the color
map offset was not a part of per-draw data, but rather material data.
