New experimental API is added to allow changing the way that redraws
are timed for a stage to include a "sync delay" - a period after
the vertical blanking period where Clutter simply waits for updates.
In detail, the algorithm is that when the master clock is restarted
after drawing a frame (in the case where there are timelines running)
or started fresh in response to a queued redraw or relayout, the
start is scheduled at the next sync point (sync_delay ms after the
predicted vblank period) rather than done immediately.

Use the buffer_age extension when available to recycle backbuffer contents
instead of blitting from the back to front buffer when doing clipped redraws.
The picking is now done in a pixel that is going to be repaired during the next
redraw cycle for non static scences.
This should improve performance and avoid tearing.

This allows us to report to the backend that the stage's back buffer has been trashed
while handling picking. If the backend is keeping track of the contents of back buffers
so it can minimize how much of the stage is redrawn then it needs to know when we do pick
renders so it can invalidate the back buffer.

The build should not add deprecated/ into the default INCLUDE paths, so
that deprecated headers are clearly separated; this will make it easier
to get rid of them when we branch out for 2.0.
CoglVertexBuffer is deprecated so here is a fairly simple replacement
to use the experimental CoglPrimitive API.

Recently the cogl_framebuffer_swap_* apis were moved into the
cogl_onscreen_* namespace since only CoglOnscreen framebuffers can be
double buffered. This renames all uses of the cogl_framebuffer_swap_*
apis in Clutter.
The experimental cogl_pipeline_new() api was recently changed so it
explicitly takes a CoglContext. This updates all calls to
cogl_pipeline_new() in clutter accordingly.
All StageWindow implementation already have back pointers, but we need a
unified API to actually set them from the generic code path; we can use
properties on the StageWindow interface — though this requires fixing
all backends at the same time, to avoid GObject complaining.
All the functionality that ClutterBackendCogl provided has been moved
into ClutterBackend itself, so there is no need to have this class
around in the source.
Cogl-based backends can derive directly from ClutterBackend.
The Clutter backend split is opaque enough that should allow us to just
build all possible backends inside the same shared object, and select
the wanted backend at initialization time.
This requires some work in the build system, as well as the
initialization code, to remove duplicate functions that might cause
conflicts at build and link time. We also need to defer all the checks
of the internal state of the platform-specific API to run-time type
checks.
Previously, the Cogl backend was at times a subclass of the X11
backend, and at times a standalone one. Now it is the other way
round, with GDK and X11 backends providing the concrete classes,
layered on top of the generic Cogl backend. A new EglNative backend
was introduced for direct to framebuffer rendering. This greatly
simplifies the API design (at the expense of some casts needed)
and reduces the amount of #ifdefs, without duplicating code.

This commit introduces a new flavour for Clutter, that uses GDK
for handling all window system specific interactions (except for
creating the cogl context, as cogl does not know about GDK), including
in particular events. This is not compatible with the X11 (glx)
flavour, and this is reflected by the different soname (libclutter-gdk-1.0.so),
as all X11 specific functions and classes are not available. If you
wish to be compatible, you should check for CLUTTER_WINDOWING_X11.
Other than that, this backend should be on feature parity with X11,
including XInput 2, XSettings and EMWH (with much, much less code)

The ClutterGeometry type is a poor substitute of cairo_rectangle_int_t,
with unsigned integers for width and height to complicate matters.
Let's remove the internal usage of ClutterGeometry and switch to the
rectangle type from Cairo.

All 2D coordinate spaces in Cogl have their origin at the top-left so we
shouldn't be flipping the coordinates we pass to
cogl_framebuffer_swap_region to be relative to the bottom of the
framebuffer.
This bumps the Cogl version requirement to 1.7.5 since we've had to fix
a bug in the semantics of cogl_framebuffer_swap_region.

This adds a public function to get the bounds of the current clipped
redraw on a stage. This should only be called while the stage is being
painted. The function diverts to a virtual function on the
ClutterStageWindow implementation. If the function isn't implemented
or it returns FALSE then the entire stage is reported. The clip bounds
are in integer pixel coordinates in the stage's coordinate space.

Cogl recently renamed symbols with the form
cogl_onscreen_<platform>_blah to be consistent with other platform
specific APIs so they are now named like cogl_<platform>_onscreen_blah.
This makes the corresponding change to clutter.
Some parts of the StageWindow interface aren't meaningful for all window
systems. This makes stage_window_set_title/fullscreen/cursor_visible
optional instead of requiring those window systems to implement empty
stubs. Notably the empty stubs we had in the Cogl backend (previously
the EGL backend) used g_warning to report the feature as unsupported and
that was causing conformance test failures.
Since GLX and EGL are abstracted by Cogl the two backends are both
implementing everything using the Cogl API and they are almost
identical.
This updates the egl backend to support everything that the glx backend
supports. Now that EGL and GLX are abstracted by Cogl, the plan is that
we will squash the clutter-egl/glx backends into one. Since the EGL
backend in clutter can conditionally not depend on X11 we will use the
EGL backend as the starting point of our common backend.
