Removing CoglHandle has been an on going goal for quite a long time now
and finally this patch removes the last remaining uses of the CoglHandle
type and the cogl_handle_ apis.
Since the big remaining users of CoglHandle were the cogl_program_ and
cogl_shader_ apis which have replaced with the CoglSnippets api this
patch removes both of these apis.

Since the original patch was done after removing deprecated API
this back ported patch doesn't affect deprecated API and so
actually this cherry-pick doesn't remove all remaining use of
CoglHandle as it did for the master branch of Cogl.
This adds a COGL_DEBUG=clipping option that reports how the clip is
being flushed. This is needed to determine whether the scissor,
stencil clip planes or software clipping is being used.
COGL_DEBUG=disable-fast-read-pixel can be used to disable the
optimization for reading a single pixel colour back by looking at the
geometry in the journal and not involving the GPU. With this disabled we
will always flush the journal, rendering to the framebuffer and then use
glReadPixels to get the result.
This adds a cache (A GHashTable) of ARBfp programs and before ever
starting to code-generate a new program we will always first try and
find an existing program in the cache. This uses _cogl_pipeline_hash and
_cogl_pipeline_equal to hash and compare the keys for the cache.
There is a new COGL_DEBUG=disable-program-caches option that can disable
the cache for debugging purposes.
This adds a debug option called disable-software-clipping which causes
the journal to always log the clip stack state rather than trying to
manually clip rectangles.
This adds COGL_DEBUG=disable-fixed to disable the fixed function
pipeline backend. This is needed to test the GLSL shader generation
because otherwise the fixed function backend would always override it.
This adds a COGL_DEBUG=wireframe option to visualize the underlying
geometry of the primitives being drawn via Cogl. This works for triangle
list, triangle fan, triangle strip and quad (internal only) primitives.
It also works for indexed vertex arrays.
Previously in the tests/tools directory we build a disable-npots
library which was used as an LD_PRELOAD to trick Cogl in to thinking
there is no NPOT texture extension. This is a little awkward to use so
it seems much simpler to just define a COGL_DEBUG option to disable
npot textures.
When building with --enable-profile we now depend on the uprof-0.3
developer release which brings a few improvements:
» It lets us "fix" how we initialize uprof so that instead of using a shared
object constructor/destructor (which was a hack used when first adding
uprof support to Clutter) we can now initialize as part of clutter's
normal initialization code. As a side note though, I found that the way
Clutter initializes has some quite serious problems whenever it
involves GOptionGroups. It is not able to guarantee the initialization
of dependencies like uprof and Cogl. For this reason we still use the
contructor/destructor approach to initialize uprof in Cogl.
» uprof-0.3 provides a better API for adding custom columns when reporting
timer and counter statistics which lets us remove quite a lot of manual
report generation code in clutter-profile.c.
» uprof-0.3 provides a shared context for tracking mainloop timer
statistics. This means any mainloop based library following the same
"Mainloop" timer naming convention can use the shared context and no
matter who ends up owning the final mainloop the statistics will always
be in the same place. This allows profiling of Clutter with an
external mainloop such as with the Mutter compositor.
» uprof-0.3 can export statistics over dbus and comes with an ncurses
based ui to vizualize timer and counter stats live.
