Simplify shadertoy shaders and buffers

- Removed the vertex and the index buffers
- Removed their respective descriptors
- Use single large triangle for covering quad like in https://www.saschawillems.de/blog/2016/08/13/vulkan-tutorial-on-rendering-a-fullscreen-quad-without-buffers/
- Change mouse behavior to react only if mouse is pressed
