This allows apps to catch out-of-memory errors when allocating textures.
Textures can be pretty huge at times and so it's quite possible for an
application to try and allocate more memory than is available. It's also
very possible that the application can take some action in response to
reduce memory pressure (such as freeing up texture caches perhaps) so
we shouldn't just automatically abort like we do for trivial heap
allocations.
These public functions now take a CoglError argument so applications can
catch out of memory errors:
cogl_buffer_map
cogl_buffer_map_range
cogl_buffer_set_data
cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap
cogl_pixel_buffer_new
cogl_texture_new_from_data
cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap
Note: we've been quite conservative with how many apis we let throw OOM
CoglErrors since we don't really want to put a burdon on developers to
be checking for errors with every cogl api call. So long as there is
some lower level api for apps to use that let them catch OOM errors
for everything necessary that's enough and we don't have to make more
convenient apis more awkward to use.
The main focus is on bitmaps and texture allocations since they
can be particularly large and prone to failing.
A new cogl_attribute_buffer_new_with_size() function has been added in
case developers need to catch OOM errors when allocating attribute buffers
whereby they can first use _buffer_new_with_size() (which doesn't take a
CoglError) followed by cogl_buffer_set_data() which will lazily allocate
the buffer storage and report OOM errors.

Note: since we can't break the API for Cogl 1.x then actually the main
purpose of cherry picking this patch is to keep in-line with changes
on the master branch so that we can easily cherry-pick patches.
All the api changes relating stable apis released on the 1.12 branch
have been reverted as part of cherry-picking this patch so this most
just applies all the internal plumbing changes that enable us to
correctly propagate OOM errors.
This adds a buffer method to map a subregion of the buffer. This works
using the GL_ARB_map_buffer_range extension. If the extension is not
available then it will fallback to using glMapBuffer to map the entire
buffer and then just add the offset to the returned pointer.
cogl_buffer_map() is now just a wrapper which maps the entire range of
the buffer. The driver backend functions have been renamed to
map_range and they now all take the offset and size arguments.
When the COGL_BUFFER_MAP_HINT_DISCARD hint is used and the map range
extension is available instead of using glBufferData to invalidate the
buffer it will instead pass the new GL_MAP_HINT_INVALIDATE_BUFFER
flag. There is now additionally a COGL_BUFFER_MAP_HINT_DISCARD_REGION
hint which can be used if the application only wants to discard the
small region that is mapped. glMapBufferRange is always used if it is
available even if the entire buffer is being mapped because it seems
more robust to pass those flags then to call glBufferData.

The function pointer for texture_2d_get_data in the driver vtable was
expecting an unsigned int for the rowstride but the definition in
cogl-texture-2d-gl.c took a size_t so it was giving an annoying
warning. This normalizes them both to just take an int. This seems to
better match the pattern used for cogl_bitmap_new_from_data and
cogl_texture_2d_new_from_data.

Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.
One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.
This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly. If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.
This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)
Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.
Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.
Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)
The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.
This splits out most of the OpenGL specific code from cogl-framebuffer.c
into cogl-framebuffer-gl.c and extends the CoglDriverVtable interface
for cogl-framebuffer.c to use.
There are hopes to support several different backends for Cogl
eventually to hopefully get us closer to the metal so this makes some
progress in organizing which parts of Cogl are OpenGL specific so these
parts can potentially be switched out later.
The only remaining use of OpenGL still in cogl-framebuffer.c is to
handle cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels.
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

Cogl already had a vtable for the texture driver. This ended up being
used for some things that are not strictly related to texturing such
as converting between pixel formats and GL enums. Some other functions
that are driver dependent such as updating the features were not
indirected through a vtable but instead switched directly by looking
at the ctx->driver enum value. This patch normalises to the two uses
by adding a separate vtable for driver functions not related to
texturing and moves the pixel format conversion functions to it from
the texture driver vtable. It also adds a context parameter to all of
the functions in the new driver vtable so that they won't have to rely
on the global context.
