With the new screenshot UI we're introducing, we'll be capturing all screenshots to textures on the GPU at first, and then create a PNG stream from those textures at a later point. This will allow us to present screenshots immediately to the user so they can inspect them and select the right area before actually saving them to disk. As a first step to make this work, introduce a new ShellScreenshot API that writes an existing CoglTexture to a PNG output stream: shell_screenshot_composite_to_stream () Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1954>
