d38ae0284b cogl-pipeline: Add two hook points for adding shader snippets
This adds two new public experimental functions for attaching
CoglSnippets to two hook points on a CoglPipeline:

void cogl_pipeline_add_vertex_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *)
void cogl_pipeline_add_fragment_hook (CoglPipeline *, CoglSnippet *)

The hooks are intended to be around the entire vertex or fragment
processing. That means the pre string in the snippet will be inserted
at the very top of the main function and the post function will be
inserted at the very end. The declarations get inserted in the global
scope.

The snippets are stored in two separate linked lists with a structure
containing an enum representing the hook point and a pointer to the
snippet. The lists are meant to be for hooks that affect the vertex
shader and fragment shader respectively. Although there are currently
only two hooks and the names match these two lists, the intention is
*not* that each new hook will be in a separate list. The separation of
the lists is just to make it easier to determine which shader needs to
be regenerated when a new snippet is added.

When a pipeline becomes the authority for either the vertex or
fragment snipper state, it simply copies the entire list from the
previous authority (although of course the shader snippet objects are
referenced instead of copied so it doesn't duplicate the source
strings).

Each string is inserted into its own block in the shader. This means
that each string has its own scope so it doesn't need to worry about
name collisions with variables in other snippets. However it does mean
that the pre and post strings can't share variables. It could be
possible to wrap both parts in one block and then wrap the actual
inner hook code in another block, however this would mean that any
further snippets within the outer snippet would be able to see those
variables. Perhaps something to consider would be to put each snippet
into its own function which calls another function between the pre and
post strings to do further processing.

The pipeline cache for generated programs was previously shared with
the fragment shader cache because the state that affects vertex
shaders was a subset of the state that affects fragment shaders. This
is no longer the case because there is a separate state mask for
vertex snippets so the program cache now has its own hash table.

98a9428967 cogl-pipeline/cogl-pango: Added forgotten includes
It seems that cogl-context-private.h needs to be included before including
any of the pipeline-related stuff to avoid build errors on C89 compilers.

This is due to the recent cogl-pipeline decoupling, seems like.

f3b90d1717 cogl-pipeline: Use the pipeline cache for the GLSL backends
The CoglPipelineCache is now extended to store templates for state
affecting vertex shaders and combined programs. The GLSL fragend,
vertend and progend now uses this to get cached shaders and a program.

When a new pipeline is created it will now get hashed three times if
the GLSL backends are in use (once for the fragend, once for the
vertend and once for the progend). Ideally we should add some way for
the progend to check its cache before the fragends and vertends are
checked so that it can bypass them entirely if it can find a cached
combined program.

461bff1867 fragend-arbfp: Move the pipeline cache to a separate file
The pipeline cache is now handled in CoglPipelineCache instead of
directly in the ARBfp fragend. The flags needed to hash a pipeline
should be exactly the same for the ARBfp and GLSL fragends so it's
convenient to share the code. The hash table now stores the actual
pipeline as the value instead of the private data so that the two
fragends can attach their data to it. That way it's possible to use
the same pipeline key with ancestors that are using different
fragends.

The hash table is created with g_hash_table_new_full to set a
destructor for the key and value and there is a destructor for
CoglPipelineCache that gets called when the CoglContext is
destroyed. That way we no longer leak the pipelines and shader state
when the context is desroyed.
