aa878ddca6 Fix the placement of deprecation macros
The deprecation macros, which expand to __declspec (deprecated) on Visual
Studio, is expected to be before the return type of the function which
is annotated by them, and having the deprecation macros there is also
accepted by GCC as well.

This will fix the builds of all applications/libraries using Cogl under
Visual Studio,

afbb13e1a4 Add compiler deprecation warnings
This adds compiler symbol deprecation declarations for old Cogl APIs so
that users can easily see via compiler warning when they are using these
symbols, and also see a hint for what the apis should be replaced with.

So that users of Cogl can manage when to show these warnings this
introduces a scheme borrowed from glib whereby you can declare what
version of the Cogl api you are using:

COGL_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED can be defined to indicate the oldest Cogl api
that the application wants to use. Cogl will only warn about
deprecations for symbols that were deprecated earlier than this required
version. If this is left undefined then by default Cogl will warn about
all deprecations.

COGL_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED can be defined to indicate the newest api
that the application uses. If the application uses symbols newer than
this then Cogl will give a warning about that.

This patch removes the need to maintain the COGL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
guards around deprecated symbols.

This patch fixes a few uses of deprecated symbols in the examples/

df21e20f65 Adds CoglError api
Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.

One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.

This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly.  If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.

This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)

Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

(cherry picked from commit b068d5ea09ab32c37e8c965fc8582c85d1b2db46)

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.

Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.

Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)

The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.

54735dec84 Switch use of primitive glib types to c99 equivalents
The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.

Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.

Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.

So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.

Instead of gsize we now use size_t

For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

680f63a48c Remove all internal includes of cogl.h
The cogl.h header is meant to be the public header for including the 1.x
api used by Clutter so we should stop using that as a convenient way to
include all likely prototypes and typedefs. Actually we already do a
good job of listing the specific headers we depend on in each of the .c
files we have so mostly this patch just strip out the redundant
includes for cogl.h with a few fixups where that broke the build.

07c0b9f89f Add CoglDepthState API
Instead of simply extending the cogl_pipeline_ namespace to add api for
controlling the depth testing state we now break the api out. This adds
a CoglDepthState type that can be stack allocated. The members of the
structure are private but we have the following API to setup the state:

    cogl_depth_state_init
    cogl_depth_state_set_test_enabled
    cogl_depth_state_get_test_enabled
    cogl_depth_state_set_test_function
    cogl_depth_state_get_test_function
    cogl_depth_state_set_writing_enabled
    cogl_depth_state_get_writing_enabled
    cogl_depth_state_set_range
    cogl_depth_state_get_range

This removes the following experimental API which is now superseded:

    cogl_material_set_depth_test_enabled
    cogl_material_get_depth_test_enabled
    cogl_material_set_depth_test_function
    cogl_material_get_depth_test_function
    cogl_material_set_depth_writing_enabled
    cogl_material_get_depth_writing_enabled
    cogl_material_set_depth_range
    cogl_material_get_depth_range

Once a CoglDepthState structure is setup it can be set on a pipeline
using cogl_pipeline_set_depth_state().

f80cb197a9 cogl: rename CoglMaterial -> CoglPipeline
This applies an API naming change that's been deliberated over for a
while now which is to rename CoglMaterial to CoglPipeline.

For now the new pipeline API is marked as experimental and public
headers continue to talk about materials not pipelines. The CoglMaterial
API is now maintained in terms of the cogl_pipeline API internally.
Currently this API is targeting Cogl 2.0 so we will have time to
integrate it properly with other upcoming Cogl 2.0 work.

The basic reasons for the rename are:
- That the term "material" implies to many people that they are
  constrained to fragment processing; perhaps as some kind of high-level
  texture abstraction.
    - In Clutter they get exposed by ClutterTexture actors which may be
      re-inforcing this misconception.
- When comparing how other frameworks use the term material, a material
  sometimes describes a multi-pass fragment processing technique which
  isn't the case in Cogl.
- In code, "CoglPipeline" will hopefully be a much more self documenting
  summary of what these objects represent; a full GPU pipeline
  configuration including, for example, vertex processing, fragment
  processing and blending.
- When considering the API documentation story, at some point we need a
  document introducing developers to how the "GPU pipeline" works so it
  should become intuitive that CoglPipeline maps back to that
  description of the GPU pipeline.
- This is consistent in terminology and concept to OpenGL 4's new
  pipeline object which is a container for program objects.

Note: The cogl-material.[ch] files have been renamed to
cogl-material-compat.[ch] because otherwise git doesn't seem to treat
the change as a moving the old cogl-material.c->cogl-pipeline.c and so
we loose all our git-blame history.
