Allows buffers created with love.graphics.newBuffer to only allocate VRAM data. Previously they had a copy of their contents in RAM.
Also makes it easier to implement Buffers in other graphics APIs and to implement more types of Buffers in the future.
GLSL 3+ shaders can read from texel buffers by declaring a uniform samplerBuffer variable and calling texelFetch with a 0-based index, in the shader code. All attributes in a texel buffer's format array must have the same data format (e.g. all 'floatvec4' formats).
Shader:send accepts a texel Buffer for samplerBuffer uniforms.
Added 'texelbuffer' to love.graphics.getSupported (requires GLSL 3+ and desktop OpenGL).
Added 'texelbuffersize' to love.graphics.getSystemLimits. Returns the max number of values in a texel buffer (array length multiplied by the number of attributes declared in the buffer's format array).
