Description:
Add index buffer support to reduce duplicate vertices and improve memory efficiency.
Tasks:

Update model loader to extract indices
Create index buffer allocation function
Modify renderer to store index buffer
Update draw command to use draw_indexed()
Test with indexed model (compare vertex count)
Update vertex buffer to remove duplicates

Acceptance Criteria:

Models render correctly with index buffers
Vertex count reduced compared to non-indexed approach
Memory usage improved for complex models

Related Issues: Depends on #13
