Much of St is undocumented, aside from input/output arguments. This is
no doubt because a lot of it parallels Gtk closely, but is worth
improving since many new programmers are not familiar with Gtk.

Instead of using the "notify::resource-scale" signal and StWidgets
"resource-scale-changed" signal, use the new "resource-scale-changed"
signal of ClutterActor, which replaces its "resource-scale" property.
Since we'd now have two "resource-scale-changed" signals, one on
ClutterActor and one on StWidget, remove the StWidget one in favour of
the new one.

Cut down on boilerplate by using the (no longer that) new helper
macros. We don't care about breaking ABI in private libraries, so
use G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE even where the class struct used to be
exposed in the header, except for types we inherit from ourselves
(obviously) or where the class exposes any vfuncs (where changes
could affect inheritance in extensions).
Clutter 1.7.x introduced CLUTTER_CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB32: which can be used when
sharing textures/data with cairo without having to do check the
byte order and choose the appropriate format by hand.

* Make sure all source files have a LGPL copyright header, and standardize
non-standard variations of the header to a common form.
* Check and update all copyright notices.
* Remove 'Written By:' lines. They are universally incomplete and
typically indicate only who started a particular file.

StDrawingArea uses the member variable needs_repaint to keep track
of whether it needs repainting. The variable is set to TRUE correctly,
e.g. on allocation or style changes - alas, it is never set to FALSE,
resulting in the area being repainted continuously.

* Add missing chain-up for dispose and finalize methods
* ShellGenericContainer needs to destroy its children in dispose()
* Fix variable naming and excess casts in st_label_dispose()

Having StDrawingArea use ClutterCairoTexture causes circularity
problems with sizing - StDrawingArea wants to use its allocation for
the size of the texture, but ClutterTexture wants to use the size of
the texture to determine the requited size.
Avoid this by making StDrawingArea directly use Cairo and CoglTexture;
while doing this, the API is changed a bit for simplicity and to
match our use case:
- Instead of clutter_cairo_texture_create(), we have
st_drawing_area_get_context() to retrieve an already created
context. This can only be called in the ::repaint signal.
- The ::redraw signal is changed to ::repaint so we can have
st_drawing_area_queue_repaint() that doesn't collide with
clutter_actor_queue_redraw()
- ::repaint is now emitted lazily when painting the actor rather
than synchronously at various different points.

It's nicer to have ShellDrawingArea as a St widget so it can
participate more cleanly in CSS styling, such as queuing a redraw
automatically on style changes, and allowing subclasses to use
CSS styling.
