Reimplements: Vp::GameObject::render

Currently there is no error checking and wrongly passed shader type will CAUSE UNDEFINED BEHAVIOUR!

Using dynamic casts instead might be undesirable (slow) here (this might just be a premature optimalization) Generally the shader passed to this method is the m_shader of this entity. However we need functionality that allows us to change the shader temporarily (like for drawing silhouettes) Because of this the shader can also sometimes be something else, usually some derived type of the one the entity expects. I couldn't find a way to inform what kinds of shaders an entity is able to use in its render methods. The type of the shader must be the base Shader class and so some kind of casting must occur.

Another option could be to use some kind of a typeid/enum system that tells us what type a shader is (rather than use dynamic cast). But that approach ignores inheritance which we need and having multiple types of shaders and entity member variable seems very inflexible.

The true elegant solution probably doesn't involve inheritance at all and rather uses composition, together with an ECS or something. But it was decided to not dive into that realm and so we are stuck with this seemingly simple but not very flexible inheritance structure.
