Robert Bragg 73e8a6d7ce Allow lazy texture storage allocation
Consistent with how we lazily allocate framebuffers this patch allows us
to instantiate textures but still specify constraints and requirements
before allocating storage so that we can be sure to allocate the most
appropriate/efficient storage.

This adds a cogl_texture_allocate() function that is analogous to
cogl_framebuffer_allocate() which can optionally be called to explicitly
allocate storage and catch any errors. If this function isn't used
explicitly then Cogl will implicitly ensure textures are allocated
before the storage is needed.

It is generally recommended to rely on lazy storage allocation or at
least perform explicit allocation as late as possible so Cogl can be
fully informed about the best way to allocate storage.

(cherry picked from commit 1fa7c0f10a8a03043e3c75cb079a49625df098b7)

Note: This reverts the cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size API change
that dropped the CoglError argument and keeps the semantics of
allocating the texture immediately. This is because Mutter currently
uses this API so we will probably look at updating this later once
we have a corresponding Mutter patch prepared. The other API changes
were kept since they only affected experimental api.

/**
* SECTION:cogl-texture-2d-sliced
* @short_description: Functions for creating and manipulating 2D meta
* textures that may internally be comprised of
* multiple 2D textures with power-of-two sizes.
*
* These functions allow high-level meta textures (See the
* #CoglMetaTexture interface) to be allocated that may internally be
* comprised of multiple 2D texture "slices" with power-of-two sizes.
*
* This API can be useful when working with GPUs that don't have
* native support for non-power-of-two textures or if you want to load
* a texture that is larger than the GPUs maximum texture size limits.
*
* The algorithm for slicing works by first trying to map a virtual
* size to the next larger power-of-two size and then seeing how many
* wasted pixels that would result in. For example if you have a
* virtual texture that's 259 texels wide, the next pot size = 512 and
* the amount of waste would be 253 texels. If the amount of waste is
* above a max-waste threshold then we would next slice that texture
* into one that's 256 texels and then looking at how many more texels
* remain unallocated after that we choose the next power-of-two size.
* For the example of a 259 texel image that would mean having a 256
* texel wide texture, leaving 3 texels unallocated so we'd then
* create a 4 texel wide texture - now there is only one texel of
* waste. The algorithm continues to slice the right most textures
* until the amount of waste is less than or equal to a specfied
* max-waste threshold. The same logic for slicing from left to right
* is also applied from top to bottom.

* For example if the GPU only supports power-of-two sized textures
