Use functions to bind textures to shader rather than *Texture::bind().

Why did I do this:

 * It is more clean, shorter and nice looking with method chaining,
   i.e. instead of:

    shader.setColor(...)
          .setOtherParam(5);
    texture1.bind(MyShader::Texture1Layer);
    texture2.bind(MyShader::Texture2Layer);

   We now have this:

    shader.setColor(...)
          .setOtherParam(5)
          .setTexture1(texture1)
          .setTexture2(texture2);

 * It is now also clear which texture type is expected, the layer
   constant did not say anything about type.
 * Also it is possible to use new features (multi bind, bindless
   textures etc.) while preserving the same public API.

The only potential disadvantage is that the textures don't stay bound
like uniform values do, but this become a non-issue with bindless
textures. As usual, the old way is now deprecated and will be removed in
some future release.

Split Texture into TextureArray, MultisampleTexture and RectangleTexture.

Each texture has slightly different usage requirements and having
everything under one generic class is not worth the additional runtime
checks and whatnot. The current way with Texture::Target enum
(hopefully not too widely used) is now deprecated and will be removed in
some future release. However general Texture1D/2D/3D usage is not
changed in any way.
