Adds initial GLES2 integration support
This makes it possible to integrate existing GLES2 code with
applications using Cogl as the rendering api.
That's maybe a reasonable thing for a standalone cogl to want, but our
cogl has only one consumer. So if we want additional rendering out of
our cogl layer, it makes more sense to just add that to cogl rather than
support clutter or mutter or the javascript bindings creating their own
GLES contexts.

This basically reverts commit 54735dec, which tried to avoid the
GLib-defined types in favor the standard C ones. One exception to this
is the bool type, for which the commit introduces a new type CoglBool.
Let's just get rid of this type in favor of having consistency with the
GLib types. Note by the way that neither CoglBool nor gboolean (which
has a size of `int`) are completely compatible with bool (size `char`).

This macro was introduced so as to be able to be built without GLib.
However, this feature was long ago removed, and in Mutter we depend on
it anyway, so let's get rid of it in favor of more consistency.
Add API to enable the caller to have a custom method for allocating an
external texture. This will enable the possibility for mutter to
generate a texture from for example an EGLStream without having to add
support for that in Cogl.

Mutter (and libmutter users) are the only users of this version of
cogl, and will more or less only use the cogl-1.0, cogl-2.0 and cogl
experimental API variants, and having the possibility of having
different API versions of the same API depending on what file includes
it is error prone and confusing. Lets just remove the possibility of
having different versions of the same API.
