fix cogl_context_new crash if fail to connect renderer

If a NULL display is passed to cogl_context_new() then it has to
implicitly create a CoglRenderer and CoglDisplay and propagate any
resulting errors back to the user. Previously the implementation relied
on passing a NULL renderer to cogl_display_new() as the means for
implicitly connecting to a renderer. The problem with this though is
that cogl_display_new() isn't designed to ever return NULL but if it
failed to connect to a renderer automatically it would do and then
cogl_context_new would pass NULL to cogl_display_setup() leading to a
crash.

This patch changes the implementation of cogl_context_new() to now
explicitly create a CoglRenderer and connect to it if a NULL display is
given. This way we can easily propagate any errors. In addition
cogl_display_new has been changed to abort if it fails to implicitly
connect to a renderer due to a NULL renderer argument.

An application needing to gracefully handle problems connecting to a
renderer at runtime should manually instantiate and connect a renderer
passing a GError argument to cogl_renderer_connect.
