Reuse the numeric id's used for picking actors to avoid the potential

of overflowing the id numbers when continusly creating and destroying
actors on long running applications for 16bpp.
* clutter/clutter-private.h: replaced hashtable with GArray and a
GSList for available slots in the array.
* clutter/clutter-actor.c: (create_actor_id): function to create an
actor->id mapping, (release_actor_id): function to mark an existing id
as available for reuse.
* clutter/clutter-main.c: (clutter_context_free): added utility
function for cleaning up the context, 
(clutter_get_actor_by_gid): use the GArray for looking up actors.
