Currently the box-shadow is rendering is done like this :
The first time we want to render a node that requires a box-shadow, St
creates an cogl offscreen surface of the size of the allocation and
renders the box into this offscreen buffer using modulation on the
alpha channel, this buffer is then blurred according to the CSS
parameters.
The problem with this method is that every time an StWidget is
resized, its box-shadow offscreen buffer has to be resized and
therefore rendered and blurred.
This patches propose an optimization for this use case by rendering
the box-shadow only once but at a size that is independent of the
StWidget's size. Then every time we need to paint this box-shadow, we
just render this offscreen buffer using a 9-slices.
This method only works when the allocation of the widget is bigger
than the minimum shadow size on which we can apply a 9-slices, that is
given my the radius of the corners. If the allocation is smaller than
this minimum size, we then fallback to the fully render/blur the
shadow (like before this patch).

The background image, background image shadow and border image are
allocation-indepedent, so we can keep these in the node. Given that these are
are likely cached in the StTextureCache, the slight increase in code complexity
may not be worth caching these textures and materials -- we might be better off
just computing when we need to paint.

This ensures that two widgets sharing the same theme node won't trample
on each other's prerendered materials if the actors are of different
sizes. This also tries to be very careful to share as much as possible
during a transition.
This has the side effect that if a widget changes state a bunch of times,
we won't cache every state. Since we expect that state changes are
infrequent and that most cases we'll be able to use the texture cache
to do most of the heavy lifting, this cost is much more insignificant
than rendering a number of different actors with the same theme node
and different sizes.

Since we now share theme nodes between, we shouldn't cache the paint state
across all nodes. As a first step towards putting this in the actor, split
out the state into another structure. Keep it in the theme node for now
so that we don't make too many changes in one commit.
It's possible that some of these pieces of drawing state could be shared
between theme nodes. For the sake of simplicity, assume that none of them
are shared or should be shared. A future commit could identify those that
could be shared and move them back into the theme node.

Add support for the CSS "background-repeat" property. Currently, this
only supports on/off, rather than allowing tiling in each individual
dimension. It is supported for both the cogl and cairo rendering paths.

Implement the background-size CSS property, specified by the CSS
Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3, including the keywords
"contain", "cover", and fixed-size backgrounds.

The border_texture (and border_material) variable is being
overloaded for two purposes: it's used as a source
to 9-slice the border from, and it's used as place to prerender
the background and border together for gradients.
While we only do one or the other for any given node, the two cases
are distinct, and should use distinct variables for readability.

Currently, "-st-shadow" can mean one of three very
different things:
1) shadow based on alpha of the background image
2) shadow the "border box" of the node
3) shadow applied to the content of a StIcon
It isn't well defined which of the above 3 cases
-st-shadow will mean for any given node, however.
This commit splits the property into three
different properties, "box-shadow",
"-st-background-image-shadow", and "icon-shadow"
to make it all very explicit.

A new StIconColors object is used to efficiently track the colors
we need to colorize a symbolic icon.
st_theme_node_compute_icon_colors() is added to compute the
StIconColors for a theme node. (Refcounting of StIconColors means
that we'll typically share the colors object of the parent node.)

In d66e7dd49 I got confused between border_texture and
background_texture. The background_texture was being created as normal
but in the one place that it gets drawn I accidentally made it use the
border_material instead. This patch makes it create a
background_material similar to the border_material and uses it to
paint.
A few places in st-theme-node-drawing create one-shot material, paint
with it and then free it. This is suboptimal with current Cogl because
it will end up compiling an ARBfp program just for that single paint
and then it will throw it away when the material is destroyed.
There is a new function in st-private.c called
_st_create_texture_material. This creates a simple material for a
texture based on a common parent material that points to a dummy
texture. Any materials created with this function are likely to be
able to share the same program unless the material is further modified
to contain a different number of layers. It would be possible to use
cogl_set_source_texture for this instead except that it's not possible
to modify the material's color in that case so we couldn't render the
texture with opacity.
The corner textures are now stored as a handle to a material that
references the texture rather than storing the texure directly. There
is also a separate border_material member which always points to
border_texture as the only layer.

Non-uniform border-radii are already supported when using a gradient
background, this patch adds support for solid colors as well.
The currently applied technique of using corner textures and filling
the remaining area with rectangles is extended, so that each corner is
padded with rectangles to the size of the largest corner.
Add border-radius.js to test cases, to test non-uniform border-radii
with both solid color and gradient backgrounds.

Reorganize the existing code which parses the -st-shadow property
to allow parsing different shadow properties and add support for
the text-shadow property.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624384
Add basic support for background-position, which only supports absolute
values.
Also don't require an unit to be specified for 0 (because the unit does not
really matter here 0 is 0 regardless of the unit).

The idea behind this move is that we have a lot more control over
rendering if StWidget isn't a big pile of actors, and things are
more efficient.
