When splitting out the CoglPath api we saw that we would be left with
inconsistent drawing apis if the drawing apis in core Cogl were lumped
into the cogl_framebuffer_ api considering other Cogl sub-libraries or
that others will want to create higher level drawing apis outside of
Cogl but can't use the same namespace.
So that we can aim for a more consistent style this adds a
cogl_primitive_draw() api, comparable to cogl_path_fill() or
cogl_pango_show_layout() that's intended to replace
cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive()
Note: the attribute and rectangle drawing apis are still in the
cogl_framebuffer_ namespace and this might potentially change but in
these cases there is no single object representing the thing being drawn
so it seems a more reasonable they they live in the framebuffer
namespace for now.
Note: the cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive() api isn't removed by this
patch so it can more conveniently be cherry picked to the 1.16 branch so
we can mark it deprecated for a short while. Even though it's marked as
experimental api we know that there are people using the api so we'd
like to give them a chance to switch to the new api.

This tweaks the ordering of some struct members in some of the more
important structs so that the compiler won't insert wasted padding to
avoid breaking the alignment. Some members that were previously
unsigned long have been changed to unsigned int. These members need to
be able to fit in 32-bits to run on 32-bit machines anyway so there's
no point in having them extend to 64-bit on 64-bit machines. This
doesn't affect the public API.

This adds an internal _cogl_primitive_draw API that takes CoglDrawFlags
like _cogl_draw_attributes does which allows us to draw a primitive but
skip things like flushing journals, flushing framebuffer state and avoid
validating the current pipeline. This allows us to draw primitives in
places that could otherwise cause recursion.

We've started seeing cases where we want to allocate lots of one-shot
primitives per-frame and the cost of allocating primitives becomes
important in this case since it can start being noticeable in profiles.
The main cost for allocating primitives was the GArray allocation
and appending the attributes to the array. This updates the code to
simply over allocate the primitive storage so we can embed the list
of attributes directly in that allocation.
If the user later sets new attributes and there isn't enough embedded
space then a separate slice allocation for the new attributes is made
but still this should be far less costly than using a GArray as before.
Most of the time we would expect when setting new attributes there will
still be the same number of attributes, so the embedded space can simple
be reused.

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 have a strongly implied relationship
between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.
This adds a way to mark that a primitive is in use so that modifications
will generate a warning. The plan is to use this mechanism when batching
primitives in the journal to warn users that mid-scene modifications of
primitives is not allowed.
A CoglPrimitive is a retainable object for drawing a single primitive,
such as a triangle strip, fan or list.
CoglPrimitives build on CoglVertexAttributes and CoglIndices which
themselves build on CoglVertexArrays and CoglIndexArrays respectively.
A CoglPrimitive encapsulates enough information such that it can be
retained in a queue (e.g. the Cogl Journal, or renderlists in the
future) and drawn at some later time.
