cullable: Turn cull_out / reset_culling into a separate interface

Instead of hardcoded knowledge of certain classes in MetaWindowGroup,
create a generic interface that all actors can implement to get parts of
their regions culled out during redraw, without needing any special
knowledge of how to handle a specific actor.

The names now are a bit suspect. MetaBackgroundGroup is a simple
MetaCullable that knows how to cull children, and MetaWindowGroup is the
"toplevel" cullable that computes the initial two regions. A future
cleanup here could be to merge MetaWindowGroup / MetaBackgroundGroup so
that we only have a generic MetaSimpleCullable, and move the "toplevel"
cullability to be a MetaCullableToplevel.

* @short_description: CPU culling operations for efficient drawing
*
* When we are painting a stack of 5-10 large actors, the standard
* bottom-to-top method of drawing every actor results in a tremendous
* amount of overdraw. If these actors are painting textures like
* windows, it can easily max out the available memory bandwidth on a
* low-end graphics chipset. It's even worse if window textures are
* being accessed over the AGP bus.
*
* #MetaCullable is our solution. The basic technique applied here is to
* do a pre-pass before painting where we walk each actor from top to bottom
* and ask each actor to "cull itself out". We pass in a region it can copy
* to clip its drawing to, and the actor can subtract its fully opaque pixels
* so that actors underneath know not to draw there as well.

*
* When #MetaWindowGroup is painted, we walk over its direct cullable
* children from top to bottom and ask themselves to "cull out". Cullables
* can use @unobscured_region and @clip_region to clip their drawing. Actors
* interested in eliminating overdraw should copy the @clip_region and only
* paint those parts, as everything else has been obscured by actors above it.
*
* Actors that may have fully opaque parts should also subtract out a region
* that is fully opaque from @unobscured_region and @clip_region.
*
* @unobscured_region and @clip_region are extremely similar. The difference
* is that @clip_region starts off with the stage's clip, if Clutter detects
* that we're doing a clipped redraw. @unobscured_region, however, starts off
* with the full stage size, so actors that may want to record what parts of
* their window are unobscured for e.g. scheduling repaints can do so.
*
* Actors that have children can also use the meta_cullable_cull_out_children()

* This class is a subclass of ClutterActor with special handling for
* MetaWindowActor/MetaBackgroundActor/MetaBackgroundGroup when painting
* children.
*
* When we are painting a stack of 5-10 maximized windows, the
* standard bottom-to-top method of drawing every actor results in a
* tremendous amount of overdraw and can easily max out the available
* memory bandwidth on a low-end graphics chipset. It's even worse if
* window textures are being accessed over the AGP bus.
*
* The basic technique applied here is to do a pre-pass before painting
* where we walk window from top to bottom and compute the visible area
* at each step by subtracting out the windows above it. The visible
* area is passed to MetaWindowActor which uses it to clip the portion of
* the window which drawn and avoid redrawing the shadow if it is completely
* obscured.
*
* A caveat is that this is ineffective if applications are using ARGB
* visuals, since we have no way of knowing whether a window obscures
* the windows behind it or not. Alternate approaches using the depth
* or stencil buffer rather than client side regions might be able to
* handle alpha windows, but the combination of glAlphaFunc and stenciling
* tends not to be efficient except on newer cards. (And on newer cards
* we have lots of memory and bandwidth.)
* #MetaCullable when painting children. It uses code similar to
* meta_cullable_cull_out_children(), but also has additional special
* cases for the undirected window, and similar.
