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.

(cherry picked from commit 5967dad2400d32ca6319cef6cb572e81bf2c15f0)
This adds two new functions:
void
cogl_poll_get_info (CoglContext *context,
CoglPollFD **poll_fds,
int *n_poll_fds,
gint64 *timeout);
void
cogl_poll_dispatch (CoglContext *context,
const CoglPollFD *poll_fds,
int n_poll_fds);
The application is expected to call the first function whenever it is
about to block to go idle, and the second function whenever it comes
out of idle. This gives Cogl winsys's the ability poll file
descriptors for events. For example when handing swap complete
notifications, it can report that it needs to block on a file
descriptor.
The two functions are backed by winsys virtual functions. There are
currently no implementations. The default handler for get_info just
reports no file descriptors and an infinite timeout.
