A function to update a vertex buffer using the contents of a regular buffer

[iampremo]

Feature Type: feat_addition_ingame
Description: A function that copies the contents of a regular buffer to an existing vertex buffer. Although vertex_create_buffer_from_buffer() already exists, it creates a new buffer every time.
Benefit: We need to frequently and efficiently update vertex buffers with vertex data generated by a native extension. We would like to avoid the overhead of reading and copying attribute values manually through many function calls in GML, or deleting and creating a new vertex buffer every time.

Probably safe to close this now since that's now been added in 2023.11
