The current conformance test suite is suboptimal in many ways.
All tests are built into the same binary, which makes adding new tests,
builting tests, and running groups of tests much more awkward than it
needs to be. The first issue, especially, raises the bar of contribution
in a significant way, while the other two take their toll on the
maintainer. All of these changes were introduced back when we had both
Clutter and Cogl tests in tree, and because we were building the test
suite for every single change; since then, Cogl moved out of tree with
all its tests, and we build the conformance test suite only when running
the `check` make target.
This admittedly large-ish commit changes the way the conformance test
suite works, taking advantage of the changes in the GTest API and test
harness.
First of all, all tests are now built separately, using their own test
suite as defined by each separate file. All tests run under the TAP
harness provided by GTest and Automake, to gather a proper report using
the Test Anything Protocol without using the `gtester` harness and the
`gtester-report` script. We also use the Makefile rules provided by GLib
to vastly simplify the build environment for the conformance test suite.
On top of the changes for the build and harness, we also provide new API
for creating and running test suites for Clutter. The API is public,
because the test suite has to use it, but it's minimal and mostly
provides convenience wrappers around GTest that make writing test units
for Clutter easier.
This commit disables all tests in the conformance test suite, as well as
moving the data files outside of the tests/data directory; the next few
commits will re-establish the conformance test suite separately so we
can check that everything works in a reliable way.
TapAction is a GestureAction-subclass that handles clicks and
tap gestures. It is meant to provide a replacement for ClickAction
using GestureAction:
• it handles events trasparently without capturing them, so that it
can coexists with other GestureActions;
• the ::tap signal is not emitted if the drag threshold is exceeded;
• building upon GestureAction the amount of code is greatly reduced.
TapAction provides:
• tap signal, notifying users when a tap has been performed.
The image-content example program has been updated replacing its
ClickAction usage with TapAction.

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.
