This updates Cogland and the three hello examples to use the dirty
callback. For Cogland, this removes the manual handling of X events
and for the other examples it removes the need to redraw continously.

The first vertex in the triangle vertices used in the cogl-hello
example (which were copied into a few other examples) for some reason
has a semi-transparent alpha component. However the colour needs to be
pre-multiplied and the red component was still 0xff so the colour is
effectively invalid and the transparency isn't shown. This patch just
sets the alpha component to 0xff to make it less confusing.

The two SDL examples now throttle their rendering to the
COGL_FRAME_EVENT_SYNC event. Previously the examples would redraw
whenever a mouse motion event is received but now they additionally
wait for the sync event which means that if another mouse event comes
immediately after rendering the last frame it theoretically could
avoid blocking waiting for the last frame to complete. In practice
however the SDL winsys doesn't support swap events so it will get the
sync event immediately anyway, but it's nice to have the code as an
example and a test.
This patch also changes the mainloop a bit to do the equivalent steps
without the outer main loop which I think makes it a bit easier to
follow.

The SDL2 winsys will now set the SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE flag on the
window before creating it if the resizable property is set on the
onscreen. Note that there doesn't appear to be a way in SDL to change
the flag later so unlike the other winsyses it will only take affect
if it is set before allocating the framebuffer.
The winsys now registers a callback for SDL events so that it can
report window size changes back to the application.

This SDL example were unnecessarily including <glib.h> but they don't
actually depend on glib so now they are built even if Cogl is being
built with --disable-glib.
(cherry picked from commit 1d3bce7f68b0a6885c10a29cd9836a3541a1b653)
Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.
One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.
This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly. If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.
This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)
Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.
Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.
Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)
The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.
This adds an alternate version of the SDL winsys using the SDL 2 API.
The two versions are mutually exclusive and share the same
CoglWinsysID. Version 2 of SDL fits a little bit better with Cogl
because it supports multiple windows and the video subsystem can be
initialised entirely independently of the rest of the subsystems.
The SDL2 winsys creates an invisible dummy window in order to bind the
GL context after creating the Cogl display. This is similar to how the
X11 winsys's work.
SDL2 seems to support compiling with support for both GL and GLES.
However there doesn't seem to be a way to select between the two
backends outside of SDL. In fact if you do compile them both in it
seems to break down because it will always try to use the window
system functions from the GLES backend because those are filled in
second in the vtable. However when creating the window it will always
prefer to use the GL function to choose a visual. This function gets
confused because the GL backend has not been initialised at that
point. The Cogl backend therefore just leaves it up to SDL to pick a
sensible backend. It will then verify that it picked a GL library
which matches the Cogl driver by checking the string from
glGetString(GL_VERSION).
