Figure out way to declare component type bits as constants

Right now, you declare component type bits like so:

var FooComponentType = fission.NextComponentType()

Obviously, these variables can be modified, but they should never be modified. It would be more idiomatic if they were constant. However, you can't use a function to initialize constants since they are processed at compile time.

Fix code rewritten from SFML in rendering package

At first, I used the SFML bindings to Go, but I quickly became dissatisfied with them. With bindings you don't actually get to "touch" the variables. For instance, the Vector2 class. I hated using SetX and X methods to accomplish things. It didn't feel like idiomatic Go. So I rewrote the relevant parts of SFML in Go (it was hard). Unfortunately, the C++ design patterns SFML uses wonderfully don't work well in Go, so the rewrite feels a bit clunky. Make the SFML Go code more Go-like.

Main issues:

• Can't pass by const reference (biggest issue)
• No inheritance
