Validate vertex attribute format on insert (bevyengine#5259)

# Objective

- Validate the format of the values with the expected attribute format.
- Currently, if you pass the wrong format, it will crash somewhere unrelated with a very cryptic error message, so it's really hard to debug for beginners.

## Solution

- Compare the format and panic when unexpected format is passed

## Note

- I used a separate `error!()` for a human friendly message because the panic message is very noisy and hard to parse for beginners. I don't mind changing this to only a panic if people prefer that.
- This could potentially be something that runs only in debug mode, but I don't think inserting attributes is done often enough for this to be an issue.
