Untyped vertices

- Remove VertexType
- Rename ReusableVertexList to VertexView and all associated classes,
methods, fields, and variables
- Add VertexView#stride
- Make vertex compiler automatically include layout shader
- Fix instancing and indirect not setting correct vertex count before
writing mesh
