Robert Bragg 33994caa71 [cogl-material] Support string based blending and layer combine descriptions
Setting up layer combine functions and blend modes is very awkward to do
programatically.  This adds a parser for string based descriptions which are
more consise and readable.

E.g. a material layer combine function could now be given as:
  "RGBA = ADD (TEXTURE[A], PREVIOUS[RGB])"
or
  "RGB = REPLACE (PREVIOUS)"
  "A = MODULATE (PREVIOUS, TEXTURE)"

The simple syntax and grammar are only designed to expose standard fixed
function hardware, more advanced combining must be done with shaders.

This includes standalone documentation of blend strings covering the aspects
that are common to blending and texture combining, and adds documentation
with examples specific to the new cogl_material_set_blend() and
cogl_material_layer_set_combine() functions.

Note: The hope is to remove the now redundant bits of the material API
before 1.0

Outline of test categories:

The conform/ tests should be non-interactive unit-tests that verify a single feature is behaving as documented. See conform/ADDING_NEW_TESTS for more details.

The micro-bench/ tests should be focused perfomance test, ideally testing a single metric. Please never forget that these tests are synthetec and if you are using them then you understand what metric is being tested. They probably don't reflect any real world application loads and the intention is that you use these tests once you have already determined the crux of your problem and need focused feedback that your changes are indeed improving matters. There is no exit status requirements for these tests, but they should give clear feedback as to their performance. If the framerate is the feedback metric, then the test should forcibly enable FPS debugging.

The interactive/ tests are any tests whos status can not be determined without a user looking at some visual output, or providing some manual input etc. This covers most of the original Clutter tests. Ideally some of these tests will be migrated into the conformance/ directory so they can be used in automated nightly tests.

Other notes:
All tests should ideally include a detailed description in the source explaining exactly what the test is for, how the test was designed to work, and possibly a rationale for the aproach taken for testing.
