This removes the GPU transform stage, changes shaders to reference transforms directly from the scene, and modifies the render context to maintain a transform stack.
As described in #62, the non-deterministic scene monoid may result in
slightly different transformations for path segments in an otherwise
closed path.
This change ensures consistent transformation across paths in three steps.
First, absolute transformations computed by the scene monoid is stored
along with path segments and annotated elements.
Second, elements.comp no longer transforms path segments. Instead, each
segment is stored untransformed along with a reference to its absolute
transformation.
Finally, path_coarse performs the transformation of path segments.
Because all segments in a path share a single transformation reference,
the inconsistency in #62 is avoided.

Defining MEM_DEBUG in mem.h will add a size field to Alloc and enable
bounds and alignment checks for every memory read and write.
Notes:
- Deriving an Alloc from Path.tiles is unsound, but it's more trouble to
convert Path.tiles from TileRef to a variable sized Alloc.
- elements.comp note that "We should be able to use an array of structs but the
NV shader compiler doesn't seem to like it". If that's still relevant, does
the shared arrays of Allocs work?

Merge all static and dynamic buffers to just one, "memory". Add a malloc
function for dynamic allocations.
Unify static allocation offsets into a "config" buffer containing scene setup
(number of paths, number of path segments), as well as the memory offsets of
the static allocations.
Finally, set an overflow flag when an allocation fail, and make sure to exit
shader execution as soon as that triggers. Add checks before beginning
execution in case the client wants to run two or more shaders before checking
the flag.
The "state" buffer is left alone because it needs zero'ing and because it is
accessed with the "volatile" keyword.

Eliminates the precision loss of the subtraction in the sign(end.x - start.x)
expression in kernel4. That's important for the next change that avoids
inconsistent line intersections in path_coarse.

Path segments are unsorted, but other elements are using the same
sort-middle approach as before.
This is a checkpoint. At this point, there are unoptimized versions
of tile init and coarse path raster, but it isn't wired up into a
working pipeline. Also observing about a 3x performance regression in
element processing, which needs to be investigated.
