The elementary guys would like this as an API, and I don't see any
reason to refuse -- this is quite nice shadow painting code :)
For some reason, gobject-introspection can't seem to cope with
MetaWindowShape. I'll look into it a bit later, but for now, mark
the function it has trouble with as (skip).
It's a deprecated API that can surprise us. Namely, when the internal
format passed is COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY, it will *always* allocate an
RGBA8888 pixel format texture, even if we only passed it a RGB format
or even an A8 format.
cogl_texture_2d_new_with_data is the newer, better API and doesn't have
these warts.
The smallest possible spread corresponds to an unblurred shadow, which
neither grows nor shrinks - thus the spread should be zero not negative
as returned by our current calculation.

- menus have a very subtle shadow, define the outline better. Required for gtk theming.
- focused windows are better identified now as unfocused windows have a subtle shadow.

A x/y typo that was causing shadow bounds to be incorrectly
computed and trails to be left in some circumstances. Behavior
noted by Jakub Steiner.

An ARGB window with a frame is likely something like a transparent
terminal. It looks awful (and breaks transparency) to draw a big
opaque black shadow under the window, so clip out the region under
the terminal from the shadow we draw.
Add meta_window_get_frame_bounds() to get a cairo region for the
outer bounds of the frame of a window, and modify the frame handling
code to notice changes to the frame shape and discard a cached
region. meta_frames_apply_shapes() is refactored so we can extract
meta_frames_get_frame_bounds() from it.

Create new cogl-utils.[ch] and move a helper function from
MetaShadowFactory there as meta_create_texture_material(); this
allows us to create single-layer materials from different parts of
Mutter and have them share the same template material.
Also expose a function for creating a 1x1 texture of a given
color meta_create_color_texture_4ub().

Instead of making optimizing obscured shadows an all-or-none operation,
pass the clip region to meta_shadow_paint() and only paint the 9-slices
that are at least partially visible.

Instead of setting shadow parameters on individual windows, add the
idea of a "shadow class". Windows have default shadow classes based
on their frame and window type, which can be overriden by setting
the shadow-class property.
Each shadow class has separably configurable parameters for the
focused and unfocused state. New shadow classes can be defined with
arbitrary names.

The basic MetaShadowFactory type is moved to a public header, while
the functions to fetch and paint shadows are kept private.
The public object will be used for configuration of shadows by
plugins.

For attached modal dialogs, we want the shadow to fade out at the top
as if the window was glued to the parent at the top. Add a
shadow-top-fade property to MetaWindowActor and the corresponding
parameter to meta_shadow_factory_get_shadow().
The internal implementation of MetaShadow is adjusted to work
in terms of an "inner border" and "outer border" instead of doing
the calculations in terms of an aggregate border and the spread
of the shadow. The old way of doing things gets clumsy when the
top_fade distance is added in as well.

The current shadow code just uses a single fixed texture (the Gaussian
blur of a rectangle with a fixed blur radius) for drawing all window
shadows. This patch adds the ability
* Implement efficient blurring of arbitrary regions by approximating
a Gaussian blur with multiple box blurs.
* Detect when multiple windows can use the same shadow texture by
converting their shape into a size-invariant MetaWindowShape.
* Add properties shadow-radius, shadow-x-offset, shadow-y-offset,
shadow-opacity to allow the shadow for a window to be configured.
* Add meta_window_actor_paint() and draw the shadow directly
from there rather than using a child actor.
* Remove TidyTextureFrame, which is no longer used
