OpenGL 3.0 deprecated querying of the GL_{RED,GREEN,BLUE}_BITS
constants, and the FBO extension provides a mechanism to query for the
color buffer sizes which *should* work even with the default
framebuffer. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to hold for Mesa - so we
just use this for the offscreen CoglFramebuffer type, and we fall back
to glGetIntegerv() for the onscreen one.

As part of an effort to improve the architecture of CoglMaterial
internally this overhauls how we flush layer state to OpenGL by adding a
formal backend abstraction for fragment processing and further
formalizing the CoglTextureUnit abstraction.
There are three backends: "glsl", "arbfp" and "fixed". The fixed backend
uses the OpenGL fixed function APIs to setup the fragment processing,
the arbfp backend uses code generation to handle fragment processing
using an ARBfp program, and the GLSL backend is currently only there as
a formality to handle user programs associated with a material. (i.e.
the glsl backend doesn't yet support code generation)
The GLSL backend has highest precedence, then arbfp and finally the
fixed. If a backend can't support some particular CoglMaterial feature
then it will fallback to the next backend.
This adds three new COGL_DEBUG options:
* "disable-texturing" as expected should disable all texturing
* "disable-arbfp" always make the arbfp backend fallback
* "disable-glsl" always make the glsl backend fallback
* "show-source" show code generated by the arbfp/glsl backends
The Cogl context has now a feature_flags_private enum that will allow us
to query and use OpenGL features without exposing them in the public
API.
The ARB_fragment_program extension is the first user of those flags.
Looking for this extension only happens in the gl driver as the gles
drivers will not expose them.
One can use _cogl_features_available_private() to check for the
availability of such private features.
While at it, reindent cogl-internal.h as described in CODING_STYLE.
Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.

First, let's add a new public feature called, surprisingly,
COGL_FEATURE_PBOS to check the availability of PBOs and provide a
fallback path when running on older GL implementations or on OpenGL ES
In case the underlying OpenGL implementation does not provide PBOs, we
need a fallback path (a malloc'ed buffer). The CoglPixelBufer
constructors will instanciate a subclass of CoglBuffer that handles
map/unmap and set_data() with a malloc'ed buffer.
The public feature is useful to check before using set_data() on a
buffer as it will mean doing a memcpy() when not supporting PBOs (in
that case, it's better to create the texture directly instead of using a
CoglBuffer).
For VBOs, we don't need to check for the extension if the GL version
is greater than 1.5. Non-power-of-two textures are given in 2.0.
We could also assume shader support in GL 2.0 except that the function
names are different from those in the extension so it wouldn't work
well with the current mechanism.
Previously if you need to depend on a new GL feature you had to:
- Add typedefs for all of the functions in cogl-defines.h.in
- Add function pointers for each of the functions in
cogl-context-driver.h
- Add an initializer for the function pointers in
cogl-context-driver.c
- Add a check for the extension and all of the functions in
cogl_features_init. If the extension is available under multiple
names then you have to duplicate the checks.
This is quite tedious and error prone. This patch moves all of the
features and their functions into a list of macro invocations in
cogl-feature-functions.h. The macros can be redefined to implement all
of the above tasks from the same header.
The features are described in a struct with a pointer to a table of
functions. A new function takes the feature description from this
struct and checks for its availability. The feature can take a list of
extension names with a list of alternate namespaces (such as "EXT" or
"ARB"). It can also detect the feature from a particular version of
GL.
The typedefs are now gone and instead the function pointer in the Cogl
context just directly contains the type.
Some of the functions in the context were previously declared with the
'ARB' extension. This has been removed so that now all the functions
have no suffix. This makes more sense when the extension could
potentially be merged into GL core as well.
