ac21e7b182 [cogl debug] --cogl-debug=rectangles now outlines all cogl rectangles
This makes the #if 0'd debug code that was in _cogl_journal_flush_quad_batch
- which we have repeatedly found usefull for debugging various geometry
issues in Clutter apps - a runtime debug option.

The outline colors rotate in order from red to green to blue which can also
help confirm the order that your geometry really drawn.

The outlines are not affected by the current material state, so if you e.g.
have a blending bug where geometry mysteriously disappears this can confirm
if the underlying rectangles are actually being emitted but blending is
causing them to be invisible.

8a1eca7287 [cogl] Add a PANGO debug flag for CoglPango use
The CoglPango code falls under the COGL "jurisdiction"; this means
that it cannot include Clutter headers unless strictly necessary.

The CoglPangoRenderer code was using the CLUTTER_NOTE() macro. Now
that COGL has it's own COGL_NOTE() similar macro, CoglPango should
use that and avoid including clutter-debug.h (which pulls in
clutter-private.h which in turn pulls in clutter-actor.h).

A new flag, COGL_DEBUG_PANGO, has been added to the COGL debug
flags.

605dfb8fd0 Add runtime debug messages for COGL
Clutter is able to show debug messages written using the CLUTTER_NOTE()
macro at runtime, either by using an environment variable:

  CLUTTER_DEBUG=...

or by using a command line switch:

  --clutter-debug=...
  --clutter-no-debug=...

Both are parsed during the initialization process by using the
GOption API.

COGL would benefit from having the same support.

In order to do this, we need a cogl_get_option_group() function in
COGL that sets up a GOptionGroup for COGL and adds a pre-parse hook
that will check the COGL_DEBUG environment variable. The OptionGroup
will also install two command line switches:

  --cogl-debug
  --cogl-no-debug

With the same semantics of the Clutter ones.

During Clutter initialization, the COGL option group will be attached
to the GOptionContext used to parse the command line options passed
to a Clutter application.

Every debug message written using:

  COGL_NOTE (SECTION, "message format", arguments);

Will then be printed only if SECTION was enabled at runtime.

This whole machinery, like the equivalent one in Clutter, depends on
a compile time switch, COGL_ENABLE_DEBUG, which is enabled at the same
time as CLUTTER_ENABLE_DEBUG. Having two different symbols allows
greater granularity.
