[uber_sdf]: investigate using SSBO for gradients #192503
Description
We ported the gradient code that uses samplers into uber_sdf to support gradients, which was much faster than the multi-pass stopgap we had before it.
We may be able to get even better performance by porting over our SSBO code and calculating the gradients in uber_sdf instead of using a sampler. We should investigate that optimization.

#192962 added SSBO to UberSDF gradients, when SSBO is supported. The GLES backend doesn't support SSBO right now, so this does not affect Windows yet.
#193162 has been filed to track adding SSBO support to our GLES backend.
