This adds a new CoglDriver for GL 3 called COGL_DRIVER_GL3. When
requested, the GLX, EGL and SDL2 winsyss will set the necessary
attributes to request a forward-compatible core profile 3.1 context.
That means it will have no deprecated features.
To simplify the explosion of checks for specific combinations of
context->driver, many of these conditionals have now been replaced
with private feature flags that are checked instead. The GL and GLES
drivers now initialise these private feature flags depending on which
driver is used.
The fixed function backends now explicitly check whether the fixed
function private feature is available which means the GL3 driver will
fall back to always using the GLSL progend. Since Rob's latest patches
the GLSL progend no longer uses any fixed function API anyway so it
should just work.
The driver is currently lower priority than COGL_DRIVER_GL so it will
not be used unless it is specificly requested. We may want to change
this priority at some point because apparently Mesa can make some
memory savings if a core profile context is used.
In GL 3, getting the combined extensions string with glGetString is
deprecated so this patch changes it to use glGetStringi to build up an
array of extensions instead. _cogl_context_get_gl_extensions now
returns this array instead of trying to return a const string. The
caller is expected to free the array.
Some issues with this patch:
• GL 3 does not support GL_ALPHA format textures. We should probably
make this a feature flag or something. Cogl uses this to render text
which currently just throws a GL error and breaks so it's pretty
important to do something about this before considering the GL3
driver to be stable.
• GL 3 doesn't support client side vertex buffers. This probably
doesn't matter because CoglBuffer won't normally use malloc'd
buffers if VBOs are available, but it might but worth making
malloc'd buffers a private feature and forcing it not to use them.
• GL 3 doesn't support the default vertex array object. This patch
just makes it create and bind a single non-default vertex array
object which gets used just like the normal default object. Ideally
it would be good to use vertex array objects properly and attach
them to a CoglPrimitive to cache the state.

The surfaceless extension that Mesa advertises has been renamed to
EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context instead of a separate extension for the
GLES, GLES2 and GL APIs and the new extension has been ratified by
Khronos. Therefore the KMS backend no longer runs against Mesa master.
We could just rename the extension we check for, however Weston (the
sample Wayland compositor) has switched to just creating a dummy GBM
surface and not using the surfaceless extension at all. We should
probably do the same thing.
Using the surfaceless extension could be a good idea but we don't
really need to rely on it for KMS and we would want to do it for all
EGL backends, not just the KMS backend.

There are three separate EGL_KHR_surfaceless_* extensions depending on
which GL API is being used so we should probably check the right one
depending on which driver Cogl has selected.

The compositor side wayland support enabling us to create textures from
wayland buffers needed updating since visuals were removed from the
wayland protocol.
This also fixes the #ifdef guards for the bind_wayland_display extension
in cogl-winsys-egl-feature-functions.h since it was mistakenly checking
that client-side wayland support had been enabled which won't be the
case.

depend on for being able to MakeCurrent (NO_SURFACE) as well as create a

This adds internal API to be able to wrap a wayland buffer as a
CoglTexture2D. There is a --enable-wayland-egl-server option to decide
if Cogl should support this feature and potentially any EGL based winsys
could support this through the EGL_KHR_image_base and
EGL_WL_bind_display extensions.
By using the EGL_KHR_image_base/pixmap extensions this adds support for
wrapping X11 pixmaps as CoglTexture2D textures. Clutter will
automatically take advantage of this if using the
ClutterX11TexturePixmap actor.
This adds an internal texture_2d constructor that can wrap an EGLImage
as a CoglTexture2D. The plan is to utilize this for texture-from-pixmap
support with EGL as well as creating textures from wayland buffers.
As was recently done for the GLX window system code, this commit moves
the EGL window system code down from the Clutter backend code into a
Cogl winsys.
Note: currently the cogl/configure.ac is hard coded to only build the GLX
winsys so currently this is only available when building Cogl as part
of Clutter.
