[cogl-vertex-buffer] Add cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads

This function can be used as an efficient way of drawing groups of
quads without using GL_QUADS. It generates a VBO containing the
indices needed to render using pairs of GL_TRIANGLES. The VBO is
globally cached so that it only needs to be uploaded whenever more
indices are requested than ever before.

/**
* cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads:
* @n_indices: the number of indices in the vertex buffer.
*
* Creates a vertex buffer containing the indices needed to draw pairs
* of triangles from a list of vertices grouped as quads. There will
* be at least @n_indices entries in the buffer (but there may be
* more).
*
* The indices will follow this pattern:
*
* 0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 6, 7 ... etc
*
* For example, if you submit vertices for a quad like this:
*
* |[
* 0 3
* ########
* # #
* # #
* ########
* 1 2
* ]|
*
* Then you can request 6 indices to render two triangles like this:
*
* |[
* 0 0 3
* ## ########
* # ## ## #
* # ## ## #
* ######## ##
* 1 2 2
* ]|
*
* Returns: A %CoglHandle containing the indices. The handled is
* owned by Cogl and should not be modified or unref'd.
