GL_ARB_sampler_objects provides a GL object which overrides the
sampler state part of a texture object with different values. The
sampler state that Cogl currently exposes is the wrap modes and
filters. Cogl exposes the state as part of the pipeline layer state
but without this extension GL only exposes it as part of the texture
object state. This means that it won't work to use a single texture
multiple times in one primitive with different sampler states. It also
makes switching between different sampler states with a single texture
not terribly efficient because it has to change the texture object
state every time.
This patch adds a cache for sampler states in a shared hash table
attached to the CoglContext. The entire set of parameters for the
sampler state is used as the key for the hash table. When a unique
state is encountered the sampler cache will create a new entry,
otherwise it will return a const pointer to an existing entry. That
means we can have a single pointer to represent any combination of
sampler state.
Pipeline layers now just store this single pointer rather than storing
all of the sampler state. The two separate state flags for wrap modes
and filters have now been combined into one. It should be faster to
compare the sampler state now because instead of comparing each value
it can just compare the pointers to the cached sampler entries. The
hash table of cached sampler states should only need to perform its
more expensive hash on the state when a property is changed on a
pipeline, not every time it is flushed.
When the sampler objects extension is available each cached sampler
state will also get a sampler object to represent it. The common code
to flush the GL state will now simply bind this object to a unit
instead of flushing the state though the CoglTexture when possible.

Some GLSL-related function prototypes are GLES2-only: GL implementations
are not required to provide them.
While Mesa is perfectly happy to return a dummy function pointer for
functions it doesn't support, other platforms are more picky, and will
return NULL.
In this particular case, this commit fixes GLSL support on OSX.

This splits up cogl-ext-functions.h in to sets of prototypes that
can be included separately so that we can include just core
gles1 or gles2 functions without any extensions.
Since eglGetProcAddress can not be used to query core client APIs
and some implementations (notably on Android) can return a garbage
pointer instead of NULL this will allow us to explicitly check
when to use eglGetProcAddress and when to use dlsym().
