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.

The EGL winsys had a special case code path when trying to create a
context where if it failed it would try again except without requesting
a stencil buffer. Historically this code path was to allow Clutter to
run on PowerVR MBX hardware which doesn't support a stencil buffer. It
doesn't really make sense to keep this workaround in Cogl as it would
leave Cogl in a state where the clip stack doesn't work without
providing any feedback to the developer. If we need to support running
on MBX like hardware - probably not very likely these days - then we
should provide developer control over the stencil buffer so the
equivalent workaround could be implemented on top of Cogl.

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.
The surfaceless extension that Mesa advertises has been renamed to
EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context instead of a separate extension for the
GLES, GLES2 and GL APIs and the new extension has been ratified by
Khronos. Therefore the KMS backend no longer runs against Mesa master.
We could just rename the extension we check for, however Weston (the
sample Wayland compositor) has switched to just creating a dummy GBM
surface and not using the surfaceless extension at all. We should
probably do the same thing.
Using the surfaceless extension could be a good idea but we don't
really need to rely on it for KMS and we would want to do it for all
EGL backends, not just the KMS backend.

This adds api to be able to request that the window system allows a
given onscreen framebuffer to be resizable, and api to add and remove
resize handlers to be called whenever the framebuffer does actually
change size.
The new functions are:
cogl_onscreen_{get,set}_resizable()
cogl_onscreen_{add,remove}_resize_handler()
The examples cogl-hello and cogl-x11-foreign have been updated to use
the new api. To smoke test how Cogl updates the viewport automatically
in response to window resizes the cogl-hello test doesn't explicitly
respond to resize events by setting the viewport and cogl-x11-foreign
responds by setting a viewport that is offset by a quarter of the
window's width/height and half the width and height of the window.

This makes it possible to integrate existing GLES2 code with
applications using Cogl as the rendering api.
Currently all GLES2 usage is handled with separate GLES2 contexts to
ensure that GLES2 api usage doesn't interfere with Cogl's own use of
OpenGL[ES]. The api has been designed though so we can provide tighter
integration later.
The api would allow us to support GLES2 virtualized on top of an
OpenGL/GLX driver as well as GLES2 virtualized on the core rendering api
of Cogl itself. Virtualizing the GLES2 support on Cogl will allow us to
take advantage of Cogl debugging facilities as well as let us optimize
the cost of allocating multiple GLES2 contexts and switching between
them which can both be very expensive with many drivers.
As as a side effect of this patch Cogl can also now be used as a
portable window system binding API for GLES2 as an alternative to EGL.
Parts of this patch are based on work done by Tomeu Vizoso
<tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com> who did the first iteration of adding GLES2
API support to Cogl so that WebGL support could be added to
webkit-clutter.
This patch adds a very minimal cogl-gles2-context example that shows how
to create a gles2 context, clear the screen to a random color and also
draw a triangle with the cogl api.

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.

CoglXlibDisplay just contained one member called dummy_xwin. This was
not shared outside of the respective winsys's so I don't think it
really makes sense to have a separate shared struct for it. It seems
more like an implementation detail that is specific to the winsys
because for example it may be that the EGL winsys could use the
surfaceless extension and not bother with a dummy window. This will
also make it easier to factor out the Xlib-specific data in
CoglDisplayEGL to the platform data.
