Description

## Motivation
Export some tool classes for third-party developers; For example, GL correlation, rendering correlation, shader util, uniforms, data type, geo correlation.

## Design Alternatives
This will help third-party developers to better extend the use of customlayer with the help of mapbox design concept, not limited to the integration with threejs / deck.gl

## Design
https://github.com/sakitam-gis/mapbox-gl-js/commit/2222e1d1b8c25b4f81ffc450b28c4955c7d2e9dc#diff-bfe9874d239014961b1ae4e89875a6155667db834a410aaaa2ebe3cf89820556

Research direction

Start by reviewing the two linked design commits and identifying the tool classes referenced in the issue: GL correlation, rendering correlation, shader utilities, uniforms, data types, and geo correlation. Confirm which classes should become public for custom layers and define completion as third-party developers being able to use the selected exports beyond the existing three.js or deck.gl integrations.
