Small performance improvements by caching the world_ubo in the World.
It was detected that NVIDIA driver created threads to update the
world_ubo (304 bytes). This patch will reuse the previous uploaded
ubo when not changed.
Note that in case multiple viewports are open with different settings or
viewpoint the caches will always miss.

Can confirm the threadspin seems to be gone, and the perf got a massive boost! well done @Jeroen Bakker (jbakker) !

@LazyDodo (LazyDodo) Can you also test when using split eye rendering that the performance is still there. A different eye will produce a different shadow_direction_vs, it will reuse the same allocated GPU memory, but not sure if rewriting that memory will create the threads again.
I don't think so as the 50% was just in the GPU_alloc_buf. That is now only done once, when most likely be done by the first frame that blender renders (startup screen).
