The clutter_get_timestamp() output depends on whether Clutter was
compiled with debugging support — it's meant to be used only by the
debugging notes, and it should not be used for anything else.
Instead of calling cogl_set_depth_test_enabled and
cogl_set_backface_culling_enabled ClutterDeformEffect now uses the
experimental CoglPipeline API. Those global state functions will soon
be deprecated in Cogl and they are implemented by flushing a temporary
override pipline which isn't ideal.
Using the new culling API we can also avoid having a separate buffer
of indices for the back of the texture by just changing the culling
mode to cull front baces instead of the back.

This changes ClutterDeformEffect to use a CoglAttributeBuffer with a
CoglPrimitive instead of the old CoglVertexBuffer. The old vertex
buffer code is now implemented in terms of the attribute buffer code
and it will eventually be deprecated. Using CoglPrimitives should be
slightly more efficient.
This also changes the struct we store the vertices to be
CoglVertexP3T2C4 instead of CoglTextureVertex. The latter is
technically not compatible with neither vertex buffers nor attribute
buffers because it contains a CoglColor and the internal members of
that are private so it is not valid to assume it contains 4 bytes and
use that as an attribute. Also it contains padding so it ends up
redundantly creating a larger buffer. CoglTextureVertex is in the
public API for the deform_vertex virtual so we still have to maintain
that. Instead of directly manipulating the array to upload, the
application is now passed a stack allocated temporary struct which
gets converted to a CoglVertexP3T2C4. This also means that we can map
the buffer as write only and still let the application read-write the
vertex.
The paint debug code to draw line strips for the deform mesh was
previously trying to set a red source material. However this wasn't
working because the material color was being overwritten by the color
attribute in the vertex buffer. This patch fixes that by creating a
seperate primitive for the lines and not adding the color
attribute. The lines code was also drawing both the front and back
indices. I don't think that entirely makes sense so I've just changed
it to draw only the front indices. Maybe painting both would make more
sense if backface culling was still enabled.

When invalidating the deform effect, we are invalidating the vertices
shaping the deformation of an actor. Therefore, there is no need to
trigger a redraw of the associated actor, we can just repaint the
effect.

The evdev system is a bit different from other input systems in
Clutter because it's completly decorrelated from anything graphic.
In the case of embedded devices with no proper windowing system, you
might want to not implicitly create a default stage when you're
receiving the first input event.
This patch changes this behavior by not forwarding any event if you
don't have a default stage.

A lot of the example code in the cookbook and the API reference still
uses the default stage — sometimes as if it were a non-default one,
which once again demonstrates how the default stage was a flawed concept
that just confused people.
Using the default stage as a fallback is wrong in all circumstances.
In this specific case, if an actor is not associated to a stage then it
cannot possibly be the key focus.
The default stage was a neat concept when we started Clutter out,
somewhere in the Jurassic era; a singleton instance that gets created at
initialization time, and remains the same for the entire duration of the
process.
Worked well enough when Clutter was a small library meant to be used to
write fullscreen media browsers, but since the introduction of multiple
stages, and Clutter being used to create all sorts of applications, the
default stage is just a vestigial remainder of that past, like an
appendix; something that complicates the layout of the code and
introduces weird behaviour, so that you notice its existence only when
something goes wrong.
Some platforms we do support, though, only have one framebuffer, so it
makes sense for them to have only one stage.
At this point, the only sane thing to do is to go through the same code
paths on all platforms, and that code path is the stage instance
creation and initialization — i.e. clutter_stage_new() (or
g_object_new() with CLUTTER_TYPE_STAGE).
For platforms that support multiple stages, nothing has changed: the stage
created by clutter_stage_get_default() will be set as the default one;
if nobody calls it, the default stage is never created, and it just
lives on as a meaningless check.
For platforms that only support one stage, clutter_stage_new() and
clutter_stage_get_default() will behave exactly the same the first time
they are called: both will create a stage, and set it as the default.
Calling clutter_stage_new() a second time is treated as a programmer
error, and will result in Clutter aborting. This is a behavioural change
because the existing behaviour or creating a new ClutterStage instance
with the same ClutterStageWindow private implementation is, simply put,
utterly braindamaged and I should have *never* had written it, and I
apologize for it. In my defence, I didn't know any better at the time.
This is the first step towards the complete deprecation of
clutter_stage_get_default() and clutter_stage_is_default(), which will
come later.
Instead of implementing create_stage() and a constructor for
ClutterStageOSX, we can use the default implementations in
ClutterBackend, and spare us some code duplication.
Create the device manager during the event initialization, where it
makes sense.
This allows us to get rid of the per-backend get_device_manager()
virtual function, and just store the DeviceManager pointer into the
ClutterBackend structure.
All StageWindow implementation already have back pointers, but we need a
unified API to actually set them from the generic code path; we can use
properties on the StageWindow interface — though this requires fixing
all backends at the same time, to avoid GObject complaining.
Instead of piggybacking on the EGL backend, let's create a small
ClutterBackend for the CEx100 platforms. This allows us to handle the
CEx100-specific details in a much cleaner way.
All the functionality that ClutterBackendCogl provided has been moved
into ClutterBackend itself, so there is no need to have this class
around in the source.
Cogl-based backends can derive directly from ClutterBackend.
