As discussed in the meeting, remove bindless mode and kernel mode, as they're unfortunately not directions that we want to head in.
Note that "bindless mode" does not refer to actually supporting bindless itself, but rather a strongly opinionated system of features that enforced all rust-gpu programs use bindless, with no option of "normally" bound resources. Bindless is still very much a feature we want to support first-class, but we want to make more incremental changes towards making bindless easier to write, rather than dropping support for non-bindless systems. (We already support bindless in the regular, non-"bindless mode" model, and will continue to support it after this PR)
