1b2dd815b4 Registers gtypes for all public objects and structs
This adds much more comprehensive support for gobject-introspection
based bindings by registering all objects as fundamental types that
inherit from CoglObject, and all structs as boxed types.

a0441778ad This re-licenses Cogl 1.18 under the MIT license
Since the Cogl 1.18 branch is actively maintained in parallel with the
master branch; this is a counter part to commit 1b83ef938fc16b which
re-licensed the master branch to use the MIT license.

This re-licensing is a follow up to the proposal that was sent to the
Cogl mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html

Note: there was a copyright assignment policy in place for Clutter (and
therefore Cogl which was part of Clutter at the time) until the 11th of
June 2010 and so we only checked the details after that point (commit
0bbf50f905)

For each file, authors were identified via this Git command:
$ git blame -p -C -C -C20 -M -M10  0bbf50f905..HEAD

We received blanket approvals for re-licensing all Red Hat and Collabora
contributions which reduced how many people needed to be contacted
individually:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001470.html
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January/001536.html

Individual approval requests were sent to all the other identified authors
who all confirmed the re-license on the Cogl mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January

As well as updating the copyright header in all sources files, the
COPYING file has been updated to reflect the license change and also
document the other licenses used in Cogl such as the SGI Free Software
License B, version 2.0 and the 3-clause BSD license.

This patch was not simply cherry-picked from master; but the same
methodology was used to check the source files.

f53fb5e2e0 Allow propogation of OOM errors to apps
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.

(cherry picked from commit f7735e141ad537a253b02afa2a8238f96340b978)

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.

54735dec84 Switch use of primitive glib types to c99 equivalents
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.

3ea6acc072 buffer: explicitly relate buffers to a context
All CoglBuffer constructors now take an explicit CoglContext
constructor. This is part of the on going effort to adapt to Cogl API so
it no longer depends on a global, default context.

b72f255c0a Start to reduce dependence on glib
Since we've had several developers from admirable projects say they
would like to use Cogl but would really prefer not to pull in
gobject,gmodule and glib as extra dependencies we are investigating if
we can get to the point where glib is only an optional dependency.
Actually we feel like we only make minimal use of glib anyway, so it may
well be quite straightforward to achieve this.

This adds a --disable-glib configure option that can be used to disable
features that depend on glib.

Actually --disable-glib doesn't strictly disable glib at this point
because it's more helpful if cogl continues to build as we make
incremental progress towards this.

The first use of glib that this patch tackles is the use of
g_return_val_if_fail and g_return_if_fail which have been replaced with
equivalent _COGL_RETURN_VAL_IF_FAIL and _COGL_RETURN_IF_FAIL macros.

bf7653ac93 Rename CoglIndexArray to CoglIndexBuffer
This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to switch away from
using the term "Array" which implies a regular, indexable layout which
isn't the case. We also want to strongly imply a relationship between
CoglBuffers and CoglIndexBuffers and be consistent with the
CoglAttributeBuffer and CoglPixelBuffer APIs.

6e620e94b6 cogl: Adds experimental CoglIndices API
CoglIndices define a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray. I.e. a
CoglIndexArray is simply a buffer of N bytes and you can then
instantiate multiple CoglIndices collections that define a sub-region of
a CoglIndexArray by specifying a start offset and an index data type.
