845ff67301 [cogl] Improving Cogl journal to minimize driver overheads + GPU state changes
Previously the journal was always flushed at the end of
_cogl_rectangles_with_multitexture_coords, (i.e.  the end of any
cogl_rectangle* calls) but now we have broadened the potential for batching
geometry.  In ideal circumstances we will only flush once per scene.

In summary the journal works like this:

When you use any of the cogl_rectangle* APIs then nothing is emitted to the
GPU at this point, we just log one or more quads into the journal.  A
journal entry consists of the quad coordinates, an associated material
reference, and a modelview matrix.  Ideally the journal only gets flushed
once at the end of a scene, but in fact there are things to consider that
may cause unwanted flushing, including:

- modifying materials mid-scene
    This is because each quad in the journal has an associated material
    reference (i.e. not copy), so if you try and modify a material that is
    already referenced in the journal we force a flush first)

    NOTE: For now this means you should avoid using cogl_set_source_color()
	      since that currently uses a single shared material. Later we
	  should change it to use a pool of materials that is recycled
	  when the journal is flushed.

- modifying any state that isn't currently logged, such as depth, fog and
  backface culling enables.

The first thing that happens when flushing, is to upload all the vertex data
associated with the journal into a single VBO.

We then go through a process of splitting up the journal into batches that
have compatible state so they can be emitted to the GPU together.  This is
currently broken up into 3 levels so we can stagger the state changes:

1) we break the journal up according to changes in the number of material layers
   associated with logged quads. The number of layers in a material determines
   the stride of the associated vertices, so we have to update our vertex
   array offsets at this level. (i.e. calling gl{Vertex,Color},Pointer etc)
2) we further split batches up according to material compatability. (e.g.
   materials with different textures) We flush material state at this level.
3) Finally we split batches up according to modelview changes. At this level
   we update the modelview matrix and actually emit the actual draw command.

This commit is largely about putting the initial design in-place; this will be
followed by other changes that take advantage of the extended batching.

c6fba47a52 Hide clutter_context_get_default()
The clutter_context_get_default() function is private, but shared
across Clutter. For this reason, it should be prefixed by '_' so
that the symbol is hidden from the shared object.

Rework the stage wrapper/implementation relation: remove
	duplicated code and all the bookkeeping from the backends into
	ClutterStage whenever possible, to reduce the amount of	work a
	backend must do (and possibly get wrong). Thanks to Tommi
	Komulainen.

	* clutter/clutter-main.c:
	(clutter_init_with_args), (clutter_init): Realize the default
	stage after creation. The default stage is special, because we
	use it in the initialization sequence. This removes the burden
	from the backends and reduces the things a backend can get
	wrong.

	* clutter/clutter-stage.c:
	(clutter_stage_show): Make sure to realize the implementation if
	it hasn't been realized yet.

	(clutter_stage_realize): Set the REALIZED flag and call
	clutter_stage_ensure_current() if the implementation was
	successfully realized.

	(clutter_stage_unrealized): Call clutter_stage_ensure_current()
	on unrealize.

	* clutter/glx/clutter-backend-glx.c:
	(clutter_backend_glx_create_stage): Do not realize the stage anymore
	when creating it, and let the normal realization sequence take
	place.

	(clutter_backend_glx_ensure_context): Trap for X11 errors.

	* clutter/glx/clutter-stage-glx.c:
	(clutter_stage_glx_realize): Chain up to the X11 implementation
	so that we can set up the window state (title, cursor visibility)
	when we actually have a X window. Also, do not call
	clutter_stage_ensure_current(), and rely on the wrapper to do
	it for us. This means we can drop setting the REALIZED flag on
	the wrapper.

	(clutter_stage_glx_unrealize): Do not call
	clutter_stage_ensure_current() ourselves, and rely on the wrapper
	to do it for us.

	* clutter/x11/clutter-stage-x11.c:
	(set_wm_title),	(set_cursor_visible): Move the WM title and
	cursor visibility code inside their own functions.

	(clutter_stage_x11_realize): Set the window title and whether the
	cursor is visible or not after realizing the stage.

	(clutter_stage_x11_set_cursor_visible),
	(clutter_stage_x11_set_title): Call set_wm_title() and
	set_cursor_visible().

	(clutter_stage_x11_finalize): Free the title string.

	* clutter/x11/clutter-stage-x11.h: Save more of the stage state,
	so that we can set it even when the stage hasn't been realized
	yet.

	* clutter/eglnative/clutter-backend-egl.c:
	(clutter_backend_egl_create_stage):
	* clutter/eglnative/clutter-stage-egl.c:
	(clutter_stage_egl_unrealize),
	(clutter_stage_egl_realize): Update the eglnative backend.

	* clutter/eglx/clutter-backend-egl.c:
	(clutter_backend_egl_ensure_context),
	(clutter_backend_egl_create_stage):
	* clutter/eglx/clutter-stage-egl.c:
	(clutter_stage_egl_unrealize),
	(clutter_stage_egl_realize): Update the eglx backend.

	* clutter/sdl/clutter-backend-sdl.c:
	(clutter_backend_sdl_create_stage):
	* clutter/sdl/clutter-stage-sdl.c:
	(clutter_stage_sdl_realize): Update the sdl backend.

	* clutter/fruity/clutter-backend-fruity.c:
	(clutter_backend_fruity_create_stage):
	* clutter/sdl/clutter-stage-fruity.c:
	(clutter_stage_fruity_realize): Update the fruity backend.

	* tests/test-multistage.c (on_button_press): Bail out if
	clutter_stage_new() returns NULL.

	* HACKING.backends: Update backend writing documentation.
