This adds a new function to enable per-vertex point size on a
pipeline. This can be set with
cogl_pipeline_set_per_vertex_point_size(). Once enabled the point size
can be set either by drawing with an attribute named
'cogl_point_size_in' or by writing to the 'cogl_point_size_out'
builtin from a snippet.
There is a feature flag which must be checked for before using
per-vertex point sizes. This will only be set on GL >= 2.0 or on GLES
2.0. GL will only let you set a per-vertex point size from GLSL by
writing to gl_PointSize. This is only available in GL2 and not in the
older GLSL extensions.
The per-vertex point size has its own pipeline state flag so that it
can be part of the state that affects vertex shader generation.
Having to enable the per vertex point size with a separate function is
a bit awkward. Ideally it would work like the color attribute where
you can just set it for every vertex in your primitive with
cogl_pipeline_set_color or set it per-vertex by just using the
attribute. This is harder to get working with the point size because
we need to generate a different vertex shader depending on what
attributes are bound. I think if we wanted to make this work
transparently we would still want to internally have a pipeline
property describing whether the shader was generated with per-vertex
support so that it would work with the shader cache correctly.
Potentially we could make the per-vertex property internal and
automatically make a weak pipeline whenever the attribute is bound.
However we would then also need to automatically detect when an
application is writing to cogl_point_size_out from a snippet.

This adds a new CoglDriver for GL 3 called COGL_DRIVER_GL3. When
requested, the GLX, EGL and SDL2 winsyss will set the necessary
attributes to request a forward-compatible core profile 3.1 context.
That means it will have no deprecated features.
To simplify the explosion of checks for specific combinations of
context->driver, many of these conditionals have now been replaced
with private feature flags that are checked instead. The GL and GLES
drivers now initialise these private feature flags depending on which
driver is used.
The fixed function backends now explicitly check whether the fixed
function private feature is available which means the GL3 driver will
fall back to always using the GLSL progend. Since Rob's latest patches
the GLSL progend no longer uses any fixed function API anyway so it
should just work.
The driver is currently lower priority than COGL_DRIVER_GL so it will
not be used unless it is specificly requested. We may want to change
this priority at some point because apparently Mesa can make some
memory savings if a core profile context is used.
In GL 3, getting the combined extensions string with glGetString is
deprecated so this patch changes it to use glGetStringi to build up an
array of extensions instead. _cogl_context_get_gl_extensions now
returns this array instead of trying to return a const string. The
caller is expected to free the array.
Some issues with this patch:
• GL 3 does not support GL_ALPHA format textures. We should probably
make this a feature flag or something. Cogl uses this to render text
which currently just throws a GL error and breaks so it's pretty
important to do something about this before considering the GL3
driver to be stable.
• GL 3 doesn't support client side vertex buffers. This probably
doesn't matter because CoglBuffer won't normally use malloc'd
buffers if VBOs are available, but it might but worth making
malloc'd buffers a private feature and forcing it not to use them.
• GL 3 doesn't support the default vertex array object. This patch
just makes it create and bind a single non-default vertex array
object which gets used just like the normal default object. Ideally
it would be good to use vertex array objects properly and attach
them to a CoglPrimitive to cache the state.

This adds a new "fixed-arbfp" progend so we now have 3 distinct ways of
setting up the state of a pipeline:
» fixed; where the vertex and fragment processing are implemented
using fixed function opengl apis.
» fixed-arbfp; where vertex processing is implemented using fixed
function opengl apis but fragment processing is implemented
using the ARB Fragment Processing language.
» glsl; there vertex and fragment processing are both implemented
using glsl.
This means we avoid unusual, combinations such as glsl for vertex
processing and arbfp for fragment processing, and also avoid pairing
fixed-function vertex processing with glsl fragment processing which we
happen to know hits some awkward code paths in Mesa that lead to poor
performance.
As part of this change, the progend now implies specific vertend and
fragend choices so instead of associating a vertend and fragend with a
pipeline we now just associate a progend choice.
When flushing a pipeline and choosing what progend to use, we now call a
progend->start() method that is able to determine if the vertend and
fragend together will be able to handle the given pipeline so the
vertend and fragend ->start() methods no longer need to return a boolean
status.
Since we now don't need to support glsl used in conjunction with fixed
function this will allow us to avoid ever using OpenGL builtin attribute
names, though this patch doesn't change that yet.

As part of an effort towards being able to write non-opengl based
backends for Cogl this moves most of the opengl specific code under
drivers/gl. drivers/gl and drivers/gles have been moved to
drivers/gl/gl and drivers/gl/es respectively.
