When an actor carrying canvas content is repainted, it will currently reupload
the data from the buffer to a texture. While this is not a performance problem
on a desktop, some mobile environments take a big performance hit. This
change tracks data changes and only recreates the texture if necessary.

The example code that is meant to be XIncluded into the API reference
should not be part of the interactive test suite: it's code that it is
meant to be used as a reference implementation - whereas the interactive
test suite should be allowed to be lean and test behaviour even in nasty
ways. In short: the test suite should not be the place where we show off
idiomatic code for educational purposes.
The ClutterCanvas content implementation should be used instead, to
avoid stringing along the ClutterTexture API and implementation.
This change requires some minor surgery, as the deprecated section
already contains an header for the previously deprecated methods; plus,
we don't want to deprecate clutter_cairo_set_source_color(). This means
creating a new header to be used for Cairo-related API.
This also avoids the warning
Cogl-WARNING **: ./cogl-buffer.c:215: GL error (1285): Out of memory
generated by cogl_buffer_map when the CoglBuffer has zero length.
Both ClutterCanvas and ClutterImage should use the minification and
magnification filters set on the actor, just like the use the content
box and the paint opacity.
