Most importantly, the separate command line options for switching on the legacy buffer handling have been removed.
There's really no need for them anymore, because unlike in earlier versions many of the implementation differences no longer exist - with the exception of where the light and vertex buffer contents are generated.
For testing this, -glversion 3 is sufficient.
This necessitated removing the reallocator because that cannot be done in a multithreaded context in OpenGL. The buffer should be large enough anyway, it it all gets used, slowdowns would be unavoidable.
There was also some simplification of the buffer alignment math for uniform buffers
This was already disabled for GL 4.4 and lower but also needs to be done for Intel's GL 4.5 drivers.
Unlike before this is now exclusive to the light buffer, the shadowmap feature is not affected anymore, although that should be impossible to use anyway on all affected hardware due to lack of computing power.
This is for Vulkan preparation where all of this needs to run in a user-specified context so that this code can be moved out of the GL folder without depending on OpenGL's global state model.
The binding point needs to be part of the ShaderUniforms class because Vulkan will need this value to generate the declaration in the shader source.
There's still one issue here: Since OpenGL has no local render state, the buffer must be bound every time it is used. Once the code is better abstracted this should be moved to a higher level class that knows all associated data and how to set it up.
* split gl_shadowmap.cpp into a GL dependent and an API independent part.
* gl_drawinfo must be kept around for the HUD sprite because it connects the renderer with the hardware indpendent part of the engine.
- added thread_local to some static arrays being used for setting up dynamic lights.
Right now it's of little consequence but these will have to be maintained per thread if the render data setup is done by worker tasks.
The old organization made sense when ZDoom still was a thing but now it'd be better if all pure data with no dependence on renderer implementation details was moved out.
A separation between GL2 and GL3+4 renderers looks to be inevitable and the more data is out of the renderer when that happens, the better.
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
