BufferProvider: complete the clean-up effort

Looking through all my work notes, it seems that all the
problematic aspects are now solved in a satisfactory way.

• it is clear how to dependency-inject a BufferProvider
• the internals of the BufferProvider front-End have been restructured
• there are now two pillars of the implementation: BufferStage and BufferStore
• both can be subclassed independently
• BufferProviderSetup exposes a proxying-mechanism (used for DiagnosticBufferProvider)
• the BufferMetadata have been reviewed and some minor details were rectified
• after a re-Design of OutputSlot, BuffHandle can now be used as unified front-End
• both DiagnosticBufferProvider and DiagnosticOutputSlot have been rewritten
• they are now independent, self-contained specialisations, layered on top

Overall, what might seem like a detour, was an important step towards
well-balanced structures and a better understanding of the Render Engine.
