Add Meshable trait and implement meshing for 2D primitives (#11431)
# Objective

The first part of #10569, split up from #11007.

The goal is to implement meshing support for Bevy's new geometric
primitives, starting with 2D primitives. 3D meshing will be added in a
follow-up, and we can consider removing the old mesh shapes completely.

## Solution

Add a `Meshable` trait that primitives need to implement to support
meshing, as suggested by the
[RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/12-primitive-shapes.md#meshing).

```rust
/// A trait for shapes that can be turned into a [`Mesh`].
pub trait Meshable {
    /// The output of [`Self::mesh`]. This can either be a [`Mesh`]
    /// or a builder used for creating a [`Mesh`].
    type Output;

    /// Creates a [`Mesh`] for a shape.
    fn mesh(&self) -> Self::Output;
}
```

This PR implements it for the following primitives:

- `Circle`
- `Ellipse`
- `Rectangle`
- `RegularPolygon`
- `Triangle2d`

The `mesh` method typically returns a builder-like struct such as
`CircleMeshBuilder`. This is needed to support shape-specific
configuration for things like mesh resolution or UV configuration:

```rust
meshes.add(Circle { radius: 0.5 }.mesh().resolution(64));
```

Note that if no configuration is needed, you can even skip calling
`mesh` because `From<MyPrimitive>` is implemented for `Mesh`:

```rust
meshes.add(Circle { radius: 0.5 });
```

I also updated the `2d_shapes` example to use primitives, and tweaked
the colors to have better contrast against the dark background.

Here you can see the UVs and different facing directions: (taken from
#11007, so excuse the 3D primitives at the bottom left)
