bevy_ui_render crate (#18703)
# Objective

Move Bevy UI's rendering into a dedicated crate.

Motivations:
* Allow the UI renderer to be used with other UI frameworks than
`bevy_ui`.
* Allow for using alternative renderers like Vello with `bevy_ui`.
* It's difficult for rendering contributors to make changes and
improvements to the UI renderer as it requires in-depth knowledge of the
UI implementation.

## Solution

Move the `render` and `ui_material` modules from `bevy_ui` into a new
crate `bevy_ui_render`.

## Testing

Important examples to check are `testbed_ui`, `testbed_full_ui`,
`ui_material`, `viewport_node` and `gradients`.
