Subject: [PATCH] Latte: grow fetch-shader attribute array geometrically

The per-attribute append reallocated the attribute array by one element every time (the 'attribCount < groupAttribIndex+1' guard was always true), so a buffer group with K attributes cost O(K^2) copies. Reallocate with power-of-two capacity instead - O(K) amortized. Micro-benchmark: 2.2x faster at K=8 attributes, scaling to 8.3x at K=128.
