bc8a18ebc3 [cogl-material] Support string based blending and layer combine descriptions
Setting up layer combine functions and blend modes is very awkward to do
programatically.  This adds a parser for string based descriptions which are
more consise and readable.

E.g. a material layer combine function could now be given as:
  "RGBA = ADD (TEXTURE[A], PREVIOUS[RGB])"
or
  "RGB = REPLACE (PREVIOUS)"
  "A = MODULATE (PREVIOUS, TEXTURE)"

The simple syntax and grammar are only designed to expose standard fixed
function hardware, more advanced combining must be done with shaders.

This includes standalone documentation of blend strings covering the aspects
that are common to blending and texture combining, and adds documentation
with examples specific to the new cogl_material_set_blend() and
cogl_material_layer_set_combine() functions.

Note: The hope is to remove the now redundant bits of the material API
before 1.0

e226ffa364 [docs] Rename cogl-docs from sgml to xml
The cogl-docs.sgml file has always been XML, so it's only fitting that
we actually call it cogl-docs.xml.
