Mesa annotates the GL version string with "(Core Profile)" when using
the OpenGL 3 core profile and so our heuristics that try and determine
what vendor and GPU is being used where being confused. This updates
the check_mesa_driver_package() function to consider this optional
annotation.
This adds a small unit test to verify the parsing of some example
version strings. We can update this with more real world version strings
if the format changes again in the future.

Mesa now reports a vendor string of "Mesa Project" instead of "VMWare,
Inc." and the software rasterizer renderer string is now "Software
Rasterizer". This update cogl-gpu-info.c to recognize these new strings.
Thanks to Alexander Larsson for the original patch.

This adds two new configuration environment variables:
COGL_DISABLE_GL_EXTENSIONS and
COGL_OVERRIDE_GL_VERSION
The variables can also be set in the cogl.conf file using the same
names.
The first one is a list of GL extension names separated by commas.
When set Cogl will assume any extension listed here is not available
by removing it from the string returned from
glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS). If the string is set in both the config
file and the environment variable then the union of the two lists will
be used.
The second overrides the value returned from glGetString(GL_VERSION).
If the string is set in both places the version from the environment
variable will take priority.
These are sometimes useful for debugging Cogl to test the various
combinations of extensions. It could also be useful to work around
driver bugs where an extension is badly supported and it would be
better not to use it.
The variables in cogl-config that just set a global char * variable
have been put together in an array instead of having a separate blob
of code for each one in order to make it simpler to add new variables.

The GPU info api previously told us a driver package name and a driver
vendor name, but now we have introduced detection for the gpu
architecture too and started to track architecture feature flags that
can tell us whether a gpu is a deferred or immediate mode renderer for
example or if a software rasterizer is being used.
This also adds support for checking more vendor names. We should now
detect the following cases:
Vendors: Intel, Imagination Technologies, ARM, Qualcomm, Nvidia, ATI
Architectures: Sandybridge, SGX, Mali
Architecture flags:
- vertex tiled
- vertex immediate mode
- vertex software
- fragment deferred
- fragment immediate mode
- fragment software

This adds a version header which contains macros to define which
version of Cogl the application is being compiled against. This helps
applications that want to support multiple incompatible versions of
Cogl at compile time.
The macros are called COGL_VERSION_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}. This does not
match Clutter which names them CLUTTER_{MAJOR,MINOR,MICRO}_VERSION but
I think the former is nicer and it at least matches Cairo and Pango.
The values of the macro are defined to COGL_VERSION_*_INTERNAL which
is generated by the configure script into cogl-defines.h.
There is also a macro for the entire version as a string called
COGL_VERSION_STRING.
The internal utility macros for encoding a 3 part version number into
a single integer have been moved into the new header so they can be
used publicly as a convenient way to check if the version is within a
particular range. There is also a COGL_VERSION_CHECK macro for the
very common case that a feature will be used since a particular
version of Cogl. There is a macro called COGL_VERSION which contains
the pre-encoded version of Cogl being compiled against for
convenience.
Unlike in Clutter this patch does not add any runtime version
identification mechanism.
A test case is also added which just contains static asserts to sanity
check the macros.

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.
