/**
 * This function will take any "mesh" and fill in into vertex buffers, breaking it up into multiple drawcalls as needed
 * if too many (\>65535) vertices are used.
 * This function is mainly intended for use with subdivided geometry, since sometimes subdivision might generate
 * more vertices than what fits into 16 bit indices.
 *
 * Accepts a triangle mesh, optionally with a line list (for fill outlines) as well. The triangle and line segments are expected to share a single vertex buffer.
 *
 * Mutates the provided `segmentsTriangles` and `segmentsLines` SegmentVectors,
 * `vertexArray`, `triangleIndexArray` and optionally `lineIndexArray`.
 * Does not mutate the input `flattened` vertices, `triangleIndices` and `lineList`.
 * @param addVertex - A function for adding a new vertex into `vertexArray`. We might sometimes want to add more values per vertex than just X and Y coordinates, which can be handled in this function.
 * @param segmentsTriangles - The segment array for triangle draw calls. New segments will be placed here.
 * @param vertexArray - The vertex array into which new vertices are placed by the provided `addVertex` function.
 * @param triangleIndexArray - Index array for drawing triangles. New triangle indices are placed here.
 * @param flattened - The input flattened array or vertex coordinates.
 * @param triangleIndices - Triangle indices into `flattened`.
 * @param segmentsLines - Segment array for line draw calls. New segments will be placed here. Only needed if the mesh also contains lines.
 * @param lineIndexArray - Index array for drawing lines. New triangle indices are placed here. Only needed if the mesh also contains lines.
 * @param lineList - Line indices into `flattened`. Only needed if the mesh also contains lines.
