Always force-track the cursor position (so that the X11 backend can keep
it up to date), and if the cursor wasn't part of the sampled
framebuffer when reading pixels into CPU memory, draw it in an extra
pass using cairo after the fact. The cairo based cursor painting only
happens on the X11 backend, as we otherwise inhibit the hw cursor.

Will be used by the stage to not paint the overlays. We skip all
overlays since overlays are only ever used for pointer cursors when the
hardware cursors cannot or should not be used.

A paint flag affects a paint operation in ways defined by the flags.
Currently no flags are defined, so no semantical changes are defined
yet. Eventually a flag aiming to avoid painting of cursors is going to
be added, so that screen cast streams can decide whether to include a
cursor or not.

Instead of users fetching it via `clutter_stage_get_redraw_clip()`, pass
it via the paint context. This is helpful as it is only valid during a
paint, making it more obvious that it needs to be handled differently
when there is no redraw clip (i.e. we're painting off-screen).

When rendering on-stage, it might be necessary to push offscreen
framebuffers to the paint context by external consumers, such as
GNOME Shell effects.
Expose clutter_paint_context_push|pop_framebuffer().

When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.
