- Make Texture a parent GObject class and move the vtable funcs as vfuncs
instead of an interface as we would like to have dispose free the TextureLoader.
- Make the various texture sub-types inherit from it.
- Make all the sub-types constructors return a CoglTexture instead of their respective
specific type. As most of the times, the used functions accept a CoglTexture,
like all the GTK widgets constructors returning GtkWidget.
- Fix up the basics of gi-docgen for all these types.
- Remove CoglPrimitiveTexture as it is useless: It is just a texture underhood.
- Remove CoglMetaTexture: for the exact same reason as above.
- Switch various memory management functions to use g_ variant instead of the cogl_ one
Note we would still want to get rid of the _cogl_texture_init which is something
for the next commit

In future commits, we want to be able to handle more complex textures,
such as video frames which are encoded in a YUV-pixel format and have
multiple planes (which each map to a separate texture).
To accomplish this, we introduce a new object `MetaMultiTexture`: this
object can deal with more complex formats by handling multiple
`CoglTexture`s.
It supports shaders for pixel format conversion from YUV to RGBA, as
well as blending. While custom bleding is currently only required for
YUV formats, we also implement it for RGB ones. This allows us to
simplify code in other places and will be needed in the future once
we want to support blending between different color spaces.
