Immediate Mode Line/Gizmo Drawing (#6529)
# Objective
Add a convenient immediate mode drawing API for visual debugging.

Fixes #5619
Alternative to #1625
Partial alternative to #5734

Based off https://github.com/Toqozz/bevy_debug_lines with some changes:
 * Simultaneous support for 2D and 3D.
 * Methods for basic shapes; circles, spheres, rectangles, boxes, etc.
 * 2D methods.
 * Removed durations. Seemed niche, and can be handled by users.

<summary>Performance</summary>

Stress tested using Bevy's recommended optimization settings for the dev
profile with the
following command.
```bash
cargo run --example many_debug_lines \
    --config "profile.dev.package.\"*\".opt-level=3" \
    --config "profile.dev.opt-level=1"
```
I dipped to 65-70 FPS at 300,000 lines
CPU: 3700x
RAM Speed: 3200 Mhz
GPU: 2070 super - probably not very relevant, mostly cpu/memory bound

## Changelog
 * Added `GizmoPlugin`
 * Added `Gizmos` system parameter for drawing lines and wireshapes.

### TODO
- [ ] Update changelog
- [x] Update performance numbers
- [x] Add credit to PR description

### Future work
- Cache rendering primitives instead of constructing them out of line
segments each frame.
- Support for drawing solid meshes
- Interactions. (See
[bevy_mod_gizmos](https://github.com/LiamGallagher737/bevy_mod_gizmos))
- Fancier line drawing. (See
[bevy_polyline](https://github.com/ForesightMiningSoftwareCorporation/bevy_polyline))
- Support for `RenderLayers`
- Display gizmos for a certain duration. Currently everything displays
for one frame (ie. immediate mode)
- Changing settings per drawn item like drawing on top or drawing to
different `RenderLayers`
