Reduce hwui CPU time by using glDrawRangeElements
The CPU overhead of glDrawElements in the GPU driver is significant
with client-side vertex data (unique per draw call) as the driver has
to calculate the mininimum and maximum indices from the index buffer
in order to evaluate the range of vertex data required. This can be
avoided by keeping track of the min-max in hwui and passing it with
glDrawRangeElements. This requires OpenGL ES3.0 support (which is
already checked for elsewhere in hwui).
Test: manual - visual inspection on fugu (nexus player)
