When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.

This is for all intents and purposes the same as
`cogl_object_ref/unref`, but still refers to handles rather than
objects (while we're trying to get rid of the former) so it's a bit of
unnecessary redundant API.

This basically reverts commit 54735dec, which tried to avoid the
GLib-defined types in favor the standard C ones. One exception to this
is the bool type, for which the commit introduces a new type CoglBool.
Let's just get rid of this type in favor of having consistency with the
GLib types. Note by the way that neither CoglBool nor gboolean (which
has a size of `int`) are completely compatible with bool (size `char`).
