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.

Mesa before version 8.0.2 has a slow read pixels path that gets used
with the Intel driver where it converts all of the pixels into a
floating point representation and back even if the data is being read
into exactly the same format. There is however a faster path using the
blitter when reading into a PBO with BGRA format. It works out faster
to read into a PBO and then memcpy back out into the application's
buffer even though it adds an extra memcpy. This patch adds a
workaround in cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap when it detects
this situation. In that case it will create a temporary CoglBitmap
using cogl_bitmap_new_with_size, read into it and then memcpy the data
back out.
The main impetus for this patch is that Gnome Shell has implemented
this workaround directly using GL calls but it seems like the kind of
thing that would sit better at the Cogl layer.

This adds a CoglGpuInfo struct to the CoglContext which contains some
enums describing the GL driver in use. This currently includes the
driver package (ie, is it Mesa) the version number of the package and
the vendor of the GPU (ie, is it by Intel). There is also a bitmask
which will contain the workarounds that we should do for that
particular driver configuration. The struct is initialised on context
creation by using a series of string comparisons on the strings
returned from glGetString.
