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.
Switching meta/util.h to gi18n.h was wrong, mutter is a library
and needs gi18n-lib.h, but that cannot be included from a public
header (since it depends on config.h or command line options),
so split util.h into a public and a private part.

Some cards have 2k texture limits, which can be smaller than
commonly sized backgrounds.
One way to get around this problem is to use Cogl's "sliced texture"
feature, that transparently uses several hardware textures under the hood.
This commit changes background textures loaded from file to potentially
use slicing. Based on a patch by Jasper St. Pierre
<jstpierre@mecheye.net>.

Some cards have 2k texture limits, which can be smaller than
commonly sized backgrounds.
This commit downscales the background in this situation, so that
it won't fail to load.

compositor/meta-background.c:64: error: redefinition of typedef 'MetaBackgroundPrivate'
./meta/meta-background.h:51: error: previous declaration of 'MetaBackgroundPrivate' was here
Right now we call unset_texture from MetaBackground's dispose method.
unset_texture assumes there's a pipeline available, but there may not
be if the object was just created.
This commit fixes that incorrect assumption.

Cogl automatically caches pipelines with no eviction policy,
so we need to make sure to reuse snippets to prevent
identical pipelines from getting cached separately.

g_task_propagate_pointer relinishes the GTask
of its reference to the propagated pointer, so we need to
unref it ourselves when we're done with it.

The background vignette currently fits itself to the painted
texture, instead of the monitor. This causes some very
wrong looking drawing for backgrounds that don't fill the screen.
This commit reworks the vignette shader code to be clearer, more
correct, and parameterized so that it knows how to scale and
position the vignette.

The WALLPAPER style of background painting currently
draws starting in the upper left corner of each monitor.
This isn't really correct, it means the seam between
monitors doesn't match up and edges look unbalanced if
the tile isn't a multipe of monitor size.
Really, the tiles should be centered in the middle of
the screen. (Just like when tiling a bathroom floor,
tiles should start in the center of the room.)
This commit reworks the math to make that happen.

There is currently code to try to fill gradients in a
hardware native format, using #ifdefs. That optimization is
unimportant since gradients only use 2 byte buffers. It's
also incorrect because it's getting the channel order wrong
at buffer initialization time.
This commit drops the ifdefs for clarity and fixes the
channel order.

Background handling in GNOME is very roundabout at the moment.
gnome-settings-daemon uses gnome-desktop to read the background from
disk into a screen-sized pixmap. It then sets the XID of that pixmap
on the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.
mutter puts that pixmap into a texture/actor which gnome-shell then
uses.
Having the gnome-settings-daemon detour from disk to screen means we
can't easily let the compositor handle transition effects when
switching backgrounds. Also, having the background actor be
per-screen instead of per-monitor means we may have oversized
textures in certain multihead setups.
This commit changes mutter to read backgrounds from disk itself, and
it changes backgrounds to be per-monitor.
This way background handling/compositing is left to the compositor.
