The core profile of GL3 has removed support for component-alpha
textures. Previously the GL3 driver would just ignore this and try to
create them anyway. This would generate a GL error on Mesa.
To fix this the GL texture driver will now create a GL_RED texture
when GL_ALPHA textures are not supported natively. It will then set a
texture swizzle using the GL_ARB_texture_swizzle extension so that the
alpha component will be taken from the red component of the texture.
The swizzle is part of the texture object state so it only needs to be
set once when the texture is created.
The ‘gen’ virtual function of the texture driver has been changed to
also take the internal format as a parameter. The GL driver will now
set the swizzle as appropriate here.
The GL3 driver now reports an error if the texture swizzle extension
is not available because Cogl can't really work properly without out
it. The extension is part of GL 3.3 so it is quite likely that it has
wide support from drivers. Eventually we could get rid of this
requirement if we have our own GLSL front-end and we could generate
the swizzle ourselves.
When uploading or downloading texture data to or from a
component-alpha texture, we can no longer rely on GL to do the
conversion. The swizzle doesn't have any effect on the texture data
functions. In these cases Cogl will now force an intermediate buffer
to be used and it will manually do the conversion as it does for the
GLES drivers.

This adds a new CoglDriver for GL 3 called COGL_DRIVER_GL3. When
requested, the GLX, EGL and SDL2 winsyss will set the necessary
attributes to request a forward-compatible core profile 3.1 context.
That means it will have no deprecated features.
To simplify the explosion of checks for specific combinations of
context->driver, many of these conditionals have now been replaced
with private feature flags that are checked instead. The GL and GLES
drivers now initialise these private feature flags depending on which
driver is used.
The fixed function backends now explicitly check whether the fixed
function private feature is available which means the GL3 driver will
fall back to always using the GLSL progend. Since Rob's latest patches
the GLSL progend no longer uses any fixed function API anyway so it
should just work.
The driver is currently lower priority than COGL_DRIVER_GL so it will
not be used unless it is specificly requested. We may want to change
this priority at some point because apparently Mesa can make some
memory savings if a core profile context is used.
In GL 3, getting the combined extensions string with glGetString is
deprecated so this patch changes it to use glGetStringi to build up an
array of extensions instead. _cogl_context_get_gl_extensions now
returns this array instead of trying to return a const string. The
caller is expected to free the array.
Some issues with this patch:
• GL 3 does not support GL_ALPHA format textures. We should probably
make this a feature flag or something. Cogl uses this to render text
which currently just throws a GL error and breaks so it's pretty
important to do something about this before considering the GL3
driver to be stable.
• GL 3 doesn't support client side vertex buffers. This probably
doesn't matter because CoglBuffer won't normally use malloc'd
buffers if VBOs are available, but it might but worth making
malloc'd buffers a private feature and forcing it not to use them.
• GL 3 doesn't support the default vertex array object. This patch
just makes it create and bind a single non-default vertex array
object which gets used just like the normal default object. Ideally
it would be good to use vertex array objects properly and attach
them to a CoglPrimitive to cache the state.

The function pointer for texture_2d_get_data in the driver vtable was
expecting an unsigned int for the rowstride but the definition in
cogl-texture-2d-gl.c took a size_t so it was giving an annoying
warning. This normalizes them both to just take an int. This seems to
better match the pattern used for cogl_bitmap_new_from_data and
cogl_texture_2d_new_from_data.

This factors out all of the OpenGL specific code in cogl-texture-2d.c
into cogl-texture-2d-gl.c and where necessary adds indirection through
the CoglDriver vtable so that we can eventually start to experiment with
non-OpenGL backends for Cogl.
