The input device API is split halfway thorugh the backends in a very
weird way. The data structures are private, as they should, but most
of the information should be available in the main API since it's
generic enough.
The device type enumeration, for instance, should be common across
every backend; the accessors for device type and id should live in the
core API. The internal API should always use ClutterInputDevice and
not the private X11 implementation when dealing with public structures
like ClutterEvent.
By adding accessors for the device type and id, and by moving the
device type enumeration into the core API we can cut down the amount
of symbols private and/or visible only to the X11 backends; this way
when other backends start implementing multi-pointer support we can
share the same API across the code.
Apparently, the XInput extension is using the same pkg-config
file ('xi') for both the 1.x and the 2.x API, so we need to
check for both the 1.x XGetExtensionVersion and the 2.x
XQueryInputVersion.
The XVisualInfo for GL is created when a stage is being realized.
When embedding Clutter inside another toolkit we might not want to
realize a stage to extract the XVisualInfo, then set the stage
window using a foreign X Window -- which will cause a re-realization.
Instead, we should abstract as much as possible into the X11 backend.
Unfortunately, the XVisualInfo for GL is requested using GLX API; for
this reason we have to create a ClutterBackendX11 method that we
override inside the ClutterBackendGLX implementation.
This also allows us to move a little bit of complexity from out of
the stage realization, which is currently a very delicate and hard
to debug section.
The clutter_get_current_event_time() function will return the event
timestamp coming from a Clutter event. Clutter might synthesize or
throttle events, so the function cannot be used when dealing with
backend-specific use cases.
The X11 backend is the only backend supported by Clutter that makes
use of timestamps, so it's altogether fitting that it should come
with a specific function to deal with the timestamps of the X events.

Also fix up the x11 pre-init calls to not need g_type_init.

Create a new X11 backend class of which EGL and GLX 'real' backends
then subclass. Effectively shares all X11 code between both backends
avoids code duplication and brings many missing features to EGL X
backend. Requires some cleanup and testing. (#518)

Add define to use color4ub only if configure finds it.
If not fall back to old code.

Drop support for vincent checks.
Drop sdles backend.
Specifically check for color4ub call.
