[Feat] Tracker: port codebase to Uniform Buffer Objects

[felixpalmer]

Target Use Case

As part of the upgrade of the codebase we need to retire using individual uniforms and instead use Uniform Buffer Objects, as the former is not supported by WebGPU.

The picking module was already ported in v9 for compatibility with luma, but the remaining shader modules & layers in deck.gl have not.

Proposal

PRs will be merged into main when complete, but we will not publish until the version is bumped to 9.1.
