The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

Previously we relied on the application to send all X events through
Cogl using cogl_xlib_renderer_handle_event. This breaks the
abstraction that an application shouldn't need to know what winsys
Cogl is using. Now that we have main loop integreation in Cogl, the
Xlib-based winsys's can report that Cogl needs to block on the file
descriptor of the X connection and it can manually handle the
events.
The event retrieval can be disabled by an application if it calls the
new cogl_xlib_renderer_set_event_retrieval_enabled() function. The
event retrieval will also automatically be disabled if the application
sets a foreign display.

Previously the Xlib renderer data was meant to be the first member of
whatever the winsys data is. This doesn't work well for the EGL winsys
because it only needs the Xlib data if the X11 platform is used. The
Xlib renderer data is now instead created on demand and connected to
the object using cogl_object_set_user_data. There is a new function to
get access to it.

we've got into a bit of a mess with how we name platform specific
symbols and files, so this is a first pass at trying to tidy that up.
All platform specific symbols should be named like
cogl_<platform>_symbol_name and similarly files should be named like
cogl-<platform>-filename.c
This patch tackles the X11 specific renderer/display APIs as a start.
