This declares the interface types CoglFramebuffer, CoglBuffer,
CoglTexture, CoglMetaTexture and CoglPrimitiveTexture as void when
including the public cogl.h header so that users don't have to use lots
of C type casts between instance types and interface types.
This also removes all of the COGL_XYZ() type cast macros since they do
nothing more than compile time type casting but it's less readable if
you haven't seen that coding pattern before.
Unlike with gobject based apis that use per-type macros for casting and
performing runtime type checking we instead prefer to do our runtime
type checking internally within the front-end public apis when objects
are passed into Cogl. This greatly reduces the verbosity for users of
the api and may help reduce the chance of excessive runtime type
checking that can sometimes be a problem.

Since we can't break the 1.x api this version of the patch actually
defines compatible NOP macros within deprecated/cogl-type-casts.h
This adds a version header which contains macros to define which
version of Cogl the application is being compiled against. This helps
applications that want to support multiple incompatible versions of
Cogl at compile time.
The macros are called COGL_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}. This does not
match Clutter which names them CLUTTER_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}_VERSION but
I think the former is nicer and it at least matches Cairo and Pango.
The values of the macro are defined to COGL_VERSION_*_INTERNAL which
is generated by the configure script into cogl-defines.h.
There is also a macro for the entire version as a string called
COGL_VERSION_STRING.
The internal utility macros for encoding a 3 part version number into
a single integer have been moved into the new header so they can be
used publicly as a convenient way to check if the version is within a
particular range. There is also a COGL_VERSION_CHECK macro for the
very common case that a feature will be used since a particular
version of Cogl. There is a macro called COGL_VERSION which contains
the pre-encoded version of Cogl being compiled against for
convenience.
Unlike in Clutter this patch does not add any runtime version
identification mechanism.
A test case is also added which just contains static asserts to sanity
check the macros.
