This declares the interface types CoglFramebuffer, CoglBuffer,
CoglTexture, CoglMetaTexture and CoglPrimitiveTexture as void when
including the public cogl.h header so that users don't have to use lots
of C type casts between instance types and interface types.
This also removes all of the COGL_XYZ() type cast macros since they do
nothing more than compile time type casting but it's less readable if
you haven't seen that coding pattern before.
Unlike with gobject based apis that use per-type macros for casting and
performing runtime type checking we instead prefer to do our runtime
type checking internally within the front-end public apis when objects
are passed into Cogl. This greatly reduces the verbosity for users of
the api and may help reduce the chance of excessive runtime type
checking that can sometimes be a problem.

Since we can't break the 1.x api this version of the patch actually
defines compatible NOP macros within deprecated/cogl-type-casts.h
The current recommendation for pipelines is that once they have been
used for painting then they should be considered immutable. If you
want to modify a pipeline you should instead make a copy and unref the
original pipeline. Internally we try to check whether the modified
copy replaces all of the properties of the parent and prune a
redundant ancestor hierarchy. Pruning the hierarchy is particularly
important if the pipelines contain textures because otherwise the
textures may be leaked when the parent pipeline keeps a reference to
it.
This test verifies that usage pattern by creating a chain of pipeline
copies each with their own replacement texture. Some user data is then
set on the textures with a callback so that we can verify that once
the original pipelines are destroyed then the textures are also
destroyed.
The test is currently failing because Cogl doesn't correctly prune
ancestory for layer state authority.
