This declares the interface types CoglFramebuffer, CoglBuffer,
CoglTexture, CoglMetaTexture and CoglPrimitiveTexture as void when
including the public cogl.h header so that users don't have to use lots
of C type casts between instance types and interface types.
This also removes all of the COGL_XYZ() type cast macros since they do
nothing more than compile time type casting but it's less readable if
you haven't seen that coding pattern before.
Unlike with gobject based apis that use per-type macros for casting and
performing runtime type checking we instead prefer to do our runtime
type checking internally within the front-end public apis when objects
are passed into Cogl. This greatly reduces the verbosity for users of
the api and may help reduce the chance of excessive runtime type
checking that can sometimes be a problem.

Since we can't break the 1.x api this version of the patch actually
defines compatible NOP macros within deprecated/cogl-type-casts.h
The deprecation macros, which expand to __declspec (deprecated) on Visual
Studio, is expected to be before the return type of the function which
is annotated by them, and having the deprecation macros there is also
accepted by GCC as well.
This will fix the builds of all applications/libraries using Cogl under
Visual Studio,

This splits out the cogl_path_ api into a separate cogl-path sub-library
like cogl-pango and cogl-gst. This enables developers to build Cogl with
this sub-library disabled if they don't need it which can be useful when
its important to keep the size of an application and its dependencies
down to a minimum. The functions cogl_framebuffer_{fill,stroke}_path
have been renamed to cogl_path_{fill,stroke}.
There were a few places in core cogl and cogl-gst that referenced the
CoglPath api and these have been decoupled by using the CoglPrimitive
api instead. In the case of cogl_framebuffer_push_path_clip() the core
clip stack no longer accepts path clips directly but it's now possible
to get a CoglPrimitive for the fill of a path and so the implementation
of cogl_framebuffer_push_path_clip() now lives in cogl-path and works as
a shim that first gets a CoglPrimitive and uses
cogl_framebuffer_push_primitive_clip instead.
We may want to consider renaming cogl_framebuffer_push_path_clip to
put it in the cogl_path_ namespace.

So as to avoid breaking the 1.x API or even the ABI since we are quite
late in the 1.16 development cycle the patch was modified to build
cogl-path as a noinst_LTLIBRARY before building cogl and link the code
directly into libcogl.so as it was previously. This way we can wait
until the start of the 1.18 cycle before splitting the code into a
separate libcogl-path.so.
This also adds shims for cogl_framebuffer_fill/stroke_path() to avoid
breaking the 1.x API/ABI.
