Unlike in GObject the type number for a CoglObject is entirely an
internal implementation detail so there is no need to make a GQuark to
make it safe to export out of the library. Instead we can just
directly use a fixed pointer address as the identifier for the type.
This patch makes it use the address of the class struct of the
identifier. This should make it faster to do type checks because it
does not need to call a function every time it wants to get the type
number.

This exposes CoglTextureRectangle in the experimental cogl 2.0 api. For
now we just expose a single constructor;
cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() but we can add more later.
This is part of going work to improve our texture apis with more
emphasis on providing low-level access to the varying semantics of
different texture types understood by the gpu instead of only trying to
present a lowest common denominator api.
CoglTextureRectangle is notably useful for never being restricted to
power of two sizes and for being sampled with non-normalized texture
coordinates which can be convenient for use a lookup tables in glsl due
to not needing separate uniforms for mapping normalized coordinates to
texels. Unlike CoglTexture2D though rectangle textures can't have a
mipmap and they only support the _CLAMP_TO_EDGE wrap mode.
Applications wanting to use CoglTextureRectangle should first check
cogl_has_feature (COGL_FEATURE_ID_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE).

CoglMetaTexture is an interface for dealing with high level textures
that may be comprised of one or more low-level textures internally. The
interface allows the development of primitive drawing APIs that can draw
with high-level textures (such as atlas textures) even though the
GPU doesn't natively understand these texture types.
There is currently just one function that's part of this interface:
cogl_meta_texture_foreach_in_region() which allows an application to
resolve the internal, low-level textures of a high-level texture.
cogl_rectangle() uses this API for example so that it can easily emulate
the _REPEAT wrap mode for textures that the hardware can't natively
handle repeating of.

This applies an API naming change that's been deliberated over for a
while now which is to rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline.
For now the new pipeline API is marked as experimental and public
headers continue to talk about materials not pipelines. The CoglMaterial
API is now maintained in terms of the cogl_pipeline API internally.
Currently this API is targeting Cogl 2.0 so we will have time to
integrate it properly with other upcoming Cogl 2.0 work.
The basic reasons for the rename are:
- That the term "material" implies to many people that they are
constrained to fragment processing; perhaps as some kind of high-level
texture abstraction.
- In Clutter they get exposed by ClutterTexture actors which may be
re-inforcing this misconception.
- When comparing how other frameworks use the term material, a material
sometimes describes a multi-pass fragment processing technique which
isn't the case in Cogl.
- In code, "CoglPipeline" will hopefully be a much more self documenting
summary of what these objects represent; a full GPU pipeline
configuration including, for example, vertex processing, fragment
processing and blending.
- When considering the API documentation story, at some point we need a
document introducing developers to how the "GPU pipeline" works so it
should become intuitive that CoglPipeline maps back to that
description of the GPU pipeline.
- This is consistent in terminology and concept to OpenGL 4's new
pipeline object which is a container for program objects.
Note: The cogl-material.[ch] files have been renamed to
cogl-material-compat.[ch] because otherwise git doesn't seem to treat
the change as a moving the old cogl-material.c->cogl-pipeline.c and so
we loose all our git-blame history.
This adds two new internal functions to create a foreign texture for
the texture 2d and rectangle backends. cogl_texture_new_from_foreign
will now use one of these backends directly if there is no waste
instead of always using the sliced texture backend.
The CoglBitmap struct is now only defined within cogl-bitmap.c so that
all of its members can now only be accessed with accessor
functions. To get to the data pointer for the bitmap image you must
first call _cogl_bitmap_map and later call _cogl_bitmap_unmap. The map
function takes the same arguments as cogl_pixel_array_map so that
eventually we can make a bitmap optionally internally divert to a
pixel array.
There is a _cogl_bitmap_new_from_data function which constructs a new
bitmap object and takes ownership of the data pointer. The function
gets passed a destroy callback which gets called when the bitmap is
freed. This is similar to how gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data
works. Alternatively NULL can be passed for the destroy function which
means that the caller will manage the life of the pointer (but must
guarantee that it stays alive at least until the bitmap is
freed). This mechanism is used instead of the old approach of creating
a CoglBitmap struct on the stack and manually filling in the
members. It could also later be used to create a CoglBitmap that owns
a GdkPixbuf ref so that we don't necessarily have to copy the
GdkPixbuf data when converting to a bitmap.
There is also _cogl_bitmap_new_shared. This creates a bitmap using a
reference to another CoglBitmap for the data. This is a bit of a hack
but it is needed by the atlas texture backend which wants to divert
the set_region virtual to another texture but it needs to override the
format of the bitmap to ignore the premult flag.
This adds an internal rectangle texture backend which is mostly based
on the CoglTexture2D backend. It will throw assert failures if any
operations are attempted that rectangle textures don't support, such
as mipmapping or hardware repeating.
