8904f7cbe4 paint-nodes: Make part of the API internal
At least for the time being, we only expose the parts of the API that we
want to use internally and for new, out-of-tree Content implementations.

The full PaintNode tree API will be made public in 1.12 once we branch
master.

fb106ece05 Use the content scaling filters
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.

b83dc6abfa Add PaintNode, an element on the render object tree
Now that we have a proper scene graph API, we should split out the
rendering part from the logical and event handling part.

ClutterPaintNode is a lightweight fundamental type that encodes only the
paint operations: pipeline state and geometry. At its most simple, is a
way to structure setting up the programmable pipeline using a
CoglPipeline, and submitting Cogl primitives. The important take away
from this API is that you are not allowed to call Cogl API like
cogl_set_source() or cogl_primitive_draw() directly.

The interesting approach to this is that, in the future, we should be
able to move to a purely retained mode: we will decide which actors need
to be painted, they will update their own branch of the render graph,
and we'll take the render graph and build all the rendering commands
from that.

For the 1.x API, we will have to maintain invariants and the existing
behaviour, but as soon as we can break API, the old paint signal will
just go away, and Actors will only be allowed to manipulate the render
tree.
