89e3e3a4cc [animation] Add vector variants for ::animate()
Bug 1438 - Implicit Animation API could use animatev variants

The clutter_actor_animate* family of functions use va_lists to
handle the property/value pairs for the final state of the
animation.

Language bindings have problems with variadic arguments functions,
and usually prefer vector-based API which allow a greater level
of control and conversion from native data types.

For each variadic arguments function in the clutter_actor_animate*
family there should be a vector-based version that takes:

  - the number of property/value pairs
  - a constant array of constant strings
  - an array of GValues

Most of the internal implementation can be refactored from the
current one, thus both the var_args and the vector entry points
share a common implementation of the code; then, both versions
of the API are just loops over a list of arguments.

Based on a patch by: Robert Carr <carrr@rpi.edu>

d02819949d Remove AnimationMode from the Animation API
The animation mode symbolic id might come from the AnimationMode
enumeration or from the clutter_alpha_register_*() family of
functions. For this reason, we should use a gulong instead of
ClutterAnimationMode whenever we have an "animation mode" parameter
or property.

068ba1caf0 [animation] Extend ClutterAnimation support to all objects
Instead of limiting the use of ClutterAnimation to ClutterActor
instances, relax the constraint to include all GObject classes.

ClutterAnimation is not using actor-specific API, since it is
only using properties.

The only actor-based API is the clutter_actor_animate() family
of functions.

Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements

	* clutter/Makefile.am:
	* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build

	* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
	for easing functions.

	* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
	control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
	enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:

		- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
		- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out

	* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
	the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
	ClutterAnimationMode.

	* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
	object for defining, validating and computing an interval
	between two values.

	* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
	object responsible for animation the properties of a single
	actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
	management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
	ClutterActor is provided:

		clutter_actor_animate()

	which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
	actor.

	* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
	* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.

	* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
	whitelist, and add the new functions.

	* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
	API reference.

	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
	doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
	avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.

	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
	doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
	file and not a SGML file.

	* tests/Makefile.am:
	* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
	* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
	new simple animation API and the easing functions.

	* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
	to the deprecations and new alpha API.
