Cogl 1.16 has deprecated a lot of API which it will be difficult for
Clutter to catch up with. For the time being the warnings are just
being disabled to keep the build output clean.

ClutterTexture is full of side effects that have been picked up over the
years; they make improving ClutterTexture harder than necessary, as well
as making subclassing impossible without introducing weird behaviours in
the child classes as well.
Since Clutter 1.10 we have the ClutterImage content type, which is
side-effects free, given that it just paints texture data using the
state of the actor.
Sadly, we still have subclasses of ClutterTexture, both deprecated and
not, so we cannot deprecate ClutterTexture right out; the type and
structures will still be available, like we do for ClutterGroup, but the
whole API should be moved to the deprecated section, waiting for the
time in which we can get rid of it all.
