feat(render): implementation-free api texture factory

Provides an implementation-free API Texture factory an builder.
Deprecates gregtech.api.objects.GT_*Texture.java classes

Once all GregTech add-on will be migrated to the new implemnetation-free API,
changes to the implementation will not affect the add-on.

For now, this API allow rendering of in-world glow textures.
In-inventory/hand rendering of glow texture require implementation changes
that are postponed until no add-on uses the deprecated embedded implementation API.

+ * This class contains a collection of static factory methods to help to use the New Texture API
+ * <p>The {@link #of} methods directly returns ready-to-use instances of {@link ITexture} implementations.</p>
+ * <p>To get more specific implementations of {@link ITexture} instances, use the {@link #builder()} method.</p>
+ * <p>Example of the {@link #builder()}:</p>
+ * <pre>{@code
+ *     // Texture that glows in the dark
+ *     TextureFactory.builder().addIcon(OVERLAY_FUSION1_GLOW).glow().build());
+ *
+ *     // Texture with same bottom flipped orientation as vanilla
+ *     TextureFactory.builder().addIcon(GRANITE_RED_STONE).stdOrient().build();
+ * }</pre>
