74de3cfdf3 docs: Add effects chapter, with introduction and first recipe
Add an effects chapter which gives a broad overview of
the abstract classes in the effects API, plus a short
example of how to apply one of the stock Clutter
effects (ClutterColorizeEffect).

The recipe explains how to create a custom ClutterDeformEffect
to produce a page fold (code based on ClutterPageTurnEffect).

The example code includes the effect class plus a small
application to apply it to a texture.

e92b186719 cookbook: Add recipe about sync'ing actor sizes
The recipe covers how to use ClutterBindConstraint
to bind actor sizes together.

It gives some examples of where this approach is appropriate,
as well as explaining an alternative using allocation-changed
or notify::* signals.

Three examples are given:

1. Resizing a texture to the stage.
2. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture (using constraints).
3. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture, but with a size proportional to the texture
(using a handler connected to allocation-changed signals
emitted by the texture).

81481cd803 cookbook: Added recipe for handling pointer events on an actor
Added a recipe about handling enter, leave, and motion events
on an actor.

Gives some pointers to data available from motion events,
explains a bit about stage-relative and actor-relative coords,
and covers how overlapping actors and reactivity of actors
can affect events occurring.

Examples include a simple scribble app showing how to integrate
pointer events into a more useful context.

90b74458d2 cookbook: Add an empty recipe for shadows under text
Currently, it's just an example and an image, but it should be easy to
flesh it out properly for the "Text" chapter.

7be6ed3334 cookbook: Added a recipe about making an actor transparent
Explains how to make an actor transparent so that other actors
are visible through it.

Also explains a bit more generally about opacity and how
it's computed from the actor, container, and color; and how actor
visibility is affected by depth (fog) and depth order.
