This adds a new CoglDriver for GL 3 called COGL_DRIVER_GL3. When
requested, the GLX, EGL and SDL2 winsyss will set the necessary
attributes to request a forward-compatible core profile 3.1 context.
That means it will have no deprecated features.
To simplify the explosion of checks for specific combinations of
context->driver, many of these conditionals have now been replaced
with private feature flags that are checked instead. The GL and GLES
drivers now initialise these private feature flags depending on which
driver is used.
The fixed function backends now explicitly check whether the fixed
function private feature is available which means the GL3 driver will
fall back to always using the GLSL progend. Since Rob's latest patches
the GLSL progend no longer uses any fixed function API anyway so it
should just work.
The driver is currently lower priority than COGL_DRIVER_GL so it will
not be used unless it is specificly requested. We may want to change
this priority at some point because apparently Mesa can make some
memory savings if a core profile context is used.
In GL 3, getting the combined extensions string with glGetString is
deprecated so this patch changes it to use glGetStringi to build up an
array of extensions instead. _cogl_context_get_gl_extensions now
returns this array instead of trying to return a const string. The
caller is expected to free the array.
Some issues with this patch:
• GL 3 does not support GL_ALPHA format textures. We should probably
make this a feature flag or something. Cogl uses this to render text
which currently just throws a GL error and breaks so it's pretty
important to do something about this before considering the GL3
driver to be stable.
• GL 3 doesn't support client side vertex buffers. This probably
doesn't matter because CoglBuffer won't normally use malloc'd
buffers if VBOs are available, but it might but worth making
malloc'd buffers a private feature and forcing it not to use them.
• GL 3 doesn't support the default vertex array object. This patch
just makes it create and bind a single non-default vertex array
object which gets used just like the normal default object. Ideally
it would be good to use vertex array objects properly and attach
them to a CoglPrimitive to cache the state.

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.

This adds cogl_framebuffer_ apis for drawing attributes and primitives
that replace corresponding apis that depend on the default CoglContext.
This is part of the on going effort to adapt the Cogl api so it no
longer depends on a global context variable.
All the new drawing functions also take an explicit pipeline argument
since we are also aiming to avoid being a stateful api like Cairo and
OpenGL. Being stateless makes it easier for orthogonal components to
share access to the GPU. Being stateless should also minimize any
impedance miss-match for those wanting to build higher level stateless
apis on top of Cogl.
Note: none of the legacy, global state options such as
cogl_set_depth_test_enabled(), cogl_set_backface_culling_enabled() or
cogl_program_use() are supported by these new drawing apis and if set
will simply be silently ignored.

When associating indices with a CoglPrimitive you are now forced to
specify the number of indices that should be read when drawing.
It's easy to forget to call cogl_primitive_set_n_vertices() after
associating indices with a primitive (and anyway you can see that someone
could be led to believe Cogl can determine that implicitly somewhow) so
this should avoid a lot of mistakes with using the API.
We'd expect that setting indices and updating the n_vertices property
would go hand in hand 99% of the time anyway so this change should
be more convenient as well as less error prone.
This patch adds some documentation for cogl_primitive_set_indices and
cogl_primitive_get/set_n_vertices. It also tries to clarify how the
CoglPrimitive:n_vertices property is updated and what that property
means in relation to other functions too.

As part of the on going, incremental effort to purge the non type safe
CoglHandle type from the Cogl API this patch tackles most of the
CoglHandle uses relating to textures.
We'd postponed making this change for quite a while because we wanted to
have a clearer understanding of how we wanted to evolve the texture APIs
towards Cogl 2.0 before exposing type safety here which would be
difficult to change later since it would imply breaking APIs.
The basic idea that we are steering towards now is that CoglTexture
can be considered to be the most primitive interface we have for any
object representing a texture. The texture interface would provide
roughly these methods:
cogl_texture_get_width
cogl_texture_get_height
cogl_texture_can_repeat
cogl_texture_can_mipmap
cogl_texture_generate_mipmap;
cogl_texture_get_format
cogl_texture_set_region
cogl_texture_get_region
Besides the texture interface we will then start to expose types
corresponding to specific texture types: CoglTexture2D,
CoglTexture3D, CoglTexture2DSliced, CoglSubTexture, CoglAtlasTexture and
CoglTexturePixmapX11.
We will then also expose an interface for the high-level texture types
we have (such as CoglTexture2DSlice, CoglSubTexture and
CoglAtlasTexture) called CoglMetaTexture. CoglMetaTexture is an
additional interface that lets you iterate a virtual region of a meta
texture and get mappings of primitive textures to sub-regions of that
virtual region. Internally we already have this kind of abstraction for
dealing with sliced texture, sub-textures and atlas textures in a
consistent way, so this will just make that abstraction public. The aim
here is to clarify that there is a difference between primitive textures
(CoglTexture2D/3D) and some of the other high-level textures, and also
enable developers to implement primitives that can support meta textures
since they can only be used with the cogl_rectangle API currently.
The thing that's not so clean-cut with this are the texture constructors
we have currently; such as cogl_texture_new_from_file which no longer
make sense when CoglTexture is considered to be an interface. These
will basically just become convenient factory functions and it's just a
bit unusual that they are within the cogl_texture namespace. It's worth
noting here that all the texture type APIs will also have their own type
specific constructors so these functions will only be used for the
convenience of being able to create a texture without really wanting to
know the details of what type of texture you need. Longer term for 2.0
we may come up with replacement names for these factory functions or the
other thing we are considering is designing some asynchronous factory
functions instead since it's so often detrimental to application
performance to be blocked waiting for a texture to be uploaded to the
GPU.

Instead of storing four vertices per rectangle in the array for a
texture node in the display list, it now only stores two in a format
that is acceptable to cogl_rectangles_with_texture_coords. That way
it can pass the array directly to that function. That function has the
advantage over cogl_rectangle that it doesn't need to validate the
pipeline for every quad so it should be slightly faster.
When the texture node is being rendered with a CoglPrimitive we now
map the buffer and expand the rectangles into 4 vertices as the data
is copied.

The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.
The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.
When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.
When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.
Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h
