7e9685294e [cogl] Updates all file headers and removes lots of trailing white space
Adds missing notices, and ensures all the notices are consistent. The Cogl
blurb also now reads:

 * Cogl
 *
 * An object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer

c1afd0de69 [cogl vertex buffers] Adds fallbacks for drivers without VBO support
Buffer objects aren't currently available for glx indirect contexts, so we
now have a fallback that simply allocates fake client side vbos to store the
attributes.

ed272213f0 [cogl-handle] Optimize how we define cogl handles
The cogl_is_* functions were showing up quite high on profiles due to
iterating through arrays of cogl handles.

This does away with all the handle arrays and implements a simple struct
inheritance scheme. All cogl objects now add a CoglHandleObject _parent;
member to their main structures. The base object includes 2 members a.t.m; a
ref_count, and a klass pointer. The klass in turn gives you a type and
virtual function for freeing objects of that type.

Each handle type has a _cogl_##handle_type##_get_type () function
automatically defined which returns a GQuark of the handle type, so now
implementing the cogl_is_* funcs is just a case of comparing with
obj->klass->type.

Another outcome of the re-work is that cogl_handle_{ref,unref} are also much
more efficient, and no longer need extending for each handle type added to
cogl. The cogl_##handle_type##_{ref,unref} functions are now deprecated and
are no longer used internally to Clutter or Cogl. Potentially we can remove
them completely before 1.0.

de41fdd9d1 Renames the mesh api to the "vertex buffer api".
This better reflects the fact that the api manages sets of vertex attributes,
and the attributes really have no implied form. It is only when you use the
attributes to draw that they become mesh like; when you specify how they should
be interpreted, e.g. as triangle lists or fans etc. This rename frees up the
term "mesh", which can later be applied to a concept slightly more fitting.
E.g. at some point it would be nice to have a higher level abstraction that
sits on top of cogl vertex buffers that adds the concept of faces. (Somthing
like Blender's mesh objects.) There have also been some discussions over
particle engines, and these can be defined in terms of emitter faces; so some
other kind of mesh abstraction might be usefull here.
