/**
 * System plugin to the renderer to manage buffers.
 *
 * WebGL uses Buffers as a way to store objects to the GPU.
 * This system makes working with them a lot easier.
 *
 * Buffers are used in three main places in WebGL
 * - geometry information
 * - Uniform information (via uniform buffer objects - a WebGL 2 only feature)
 * - Transform feedback information. (WebGL 2 only feature)
 *
 * This system will handle the binding of buffers to the GPU as well as uploading
 * them. With this system, you never need to work directly with GPU buffers, but instead work with
 * the PIXI.Buffer class.
