When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.

This is inspired by 98892391d7 where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.

This basically reverts commit 54735dec, which tried to avoid the
GLib-defined types in favor the standard C ones. One exception to this
is the bool type, for which the commit introduces a new type CoglBool.
Let's just get rid of this type in favor of having consistency with the
GLib types. Note by the way that neither CoglBool nor gboolean (which
has a size of `int`) are completely compatible with bool (size `char`).
