Ready for review. There are only a few tests included; more should follow in other PRs. E.g. for facedir, raillike, connected nodeboxes...

Can’t you just replace `target_sources` with linking to the object libraries?

No way in the foreseeable future. It’d be enormous work for dubious gain. Also, you can run OpenGL atop of Vulkan or Metal (but not vice-versa).

Thanks for the PR. Maybe instead of using a global, split `beginDraw` into pointer-accepting and offset-accepting versions, so that the former prepares the buffer and calls the latter? Would that...
