reduz cf3f404d31 Implement Binary Shader Compilation
* Added an extra stage before compiling shader, which is generating a binary blob.
* On Vulkan, this allows caching the SPIRV reflection information, which is expensive to parse.
* On other (future) RenderingDevices, it allows caching converted binary data, such as DXIL or MSL.

This PR makes the shader cache include the reflection information, hence editor startup times are significantly improved.
I tested this well and it appears to work, and I added a lot of consistency checks, but because it includes writing and reading binary information, rare bugs may pop up, so be aware.
There was not much of a choice for storing the reflection information, given shaders can be a lot, take a lot of space and take time to parse.

Juan Linietsky ae09b55a19 Exposed RenderingDevice to script API
Also added an easier way to load native GLSL shaders.

Extras:

Had to fix no-cache for subresources in resource loader, it was not properly working, making shaders not properly reload.

Note:

The precommit hooks are broken because they don't seem to support enums from one class being used in another.
Feel free to fix this after merging this PR.
