Consider using gfx_scene

[kvark]

Hematite seems to be a good candidate for gfx high-level rendering. Without loosing too much abstraction/flexibility, you'd get scene culling and sorting for free. If it needs some custom logic for the culler, this can be done too.

Note: this partially conflicts with a possible Glium renderer, if you want to have any, so just beware.

gfx_scene has been depricated since 2017, rendy seems like the natural successor, although it is still unstable.

Wgpu-rs would be ideal for this

I have ported hematite to wgpu-rs Remaining work:

• [x] Fix the upside-down camera
• [ ] Upstream pistoncore-winit_window changes
• [ ] Upstream gfx_voxel, perhaps as wgpu_voxel
• [x] Set the sky color? It was blue before..
• [ ] Consider replacing the shader Makefile with a build.rs script
• [ ] Update those cargo dependancy graphs, and readmes?
• [x] Hide the mouse
• [x] Remove the unused fields from Renderer struct

@Nopey please check out this matrix transform: https://github.com/kvark/vange-rs/blob/7a42537eefe9d03b56e229cf9d14bd015c749860/src/space.rs#L84-L94

I'm considering removing the dependency graphs from gfx_voxel and hematite rather than updating them, due to the large tangle of dependencies from wgpu-rs.
