This makes it possible to integrate existing GLES2 code with
applications using Cogl as the rendering api.
Currently all GLES2 usage is handled with separate GLES2 contexts to
ensure that GLES2 api usage doesn't interfere with Cogl's own use of
OpenGL[ES]. The api has been designed though so we can provide tighter
integration later.
The api would allow us to support GLES2 virtualized on top of an
OpenGL/GLX driver as well as GLES2 virtualized on the core rendering api
of Cogl itself. Virtualizing the GLES2 support on Cogl will allow us to
take advantage of Cogl debugging facilities as well as let us optimize
the cost of allocating multiple GLES2 contexts and switching between
them which can both be very expensive with many drivers.
As as a side effect of this patch Cogl can also now be used as a
portable window system binding API for GLES2 as an alternative to EGL.
Parts of this patch are based on work done by Tomeu Vizoso
<tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com> who did the first iteration of adding GLES2
API support to Cogl so that WebGL support could be added to
webkit-clutter.
This patch adds a very minimal cogl-gles2-context example that shows how
to create a gles2 context, clear the screen to a random color and also
draw a triangle with the cogl api.

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.

Removing CoglHandle has been an on going goal for quite a long time now
and finally this patch removes the last remaining uses of the CoglHandle
type and the cogl_handle_ apis.
Since the big remaining users of CoglHandle were the cogl_program_ and
cogl_shader_ apis which have replaced with the CoglSnippets api this
patch removes both of these apis.

Since the original patch was done after removing deprecated API
this back ported patch doesn't affect deprecated API and so
actually this cherry-pick doesn't remove all remaining use of
CoglHandle as it did for the master branch of Cogl.
This allows applications to specify certain constraints that feed into
the process of selecting a CoglRenderer backend. For example
applications might depend on x11 for handling input and so they require
a backend that's also based on x11.
Previously we relied on the application to send all X events through
Cogl using cogl_xlib_renderer_handle_event. This breaks the
abstraction that an application shouldn't need to know what winsys
Cogl is using. Now that we have main loop integreation in Cogl, the
Xlib-based winsys's can report that Cogl needs to block on the file
descriptor of the X connection and it can manually handle the
events.
The event retrieval can be disabled by an application if it calls the
new cogl_xlib_renderer_set_event_retrieval_enabled() function. The
event retrieval will also automatically be disabled if the application
sets a foreign display.

CoglTexture2D had an assert to verify that the EGL winsys was being
used. This doesn't make any sense any more because the EGL winsys
can't be used directly but instead it is just a base winsys for the
platform winsys's. To fix this this patch adds a set of 'criteria'
flags to each winsys, one of which is 'uses EGL'. CoglTexture2D can
use this to determine if the winsys is supported.
Eventually we might want to expose these flags publically so that an
application can select a winsys based on certain conditions. For
example, an application may need a winsys that uses X or EGL but
doesn't care exactly which one it is.

Eventually we might want to have an XCB-based EGL winsys. We already
have xlib-specific API in CoglRenderer (eg, to set a foreign display)
so the application needs to be able to specifically select between XCB
and XLIB.
This also removes the POWERVR part while renaming
COGL_HAS_EGL_PLATFORM_POWERVR_X11_SUPPORT to
COGL_HAS_EGL_PLATFORM_XLIB_SUPPORT because the winsys is equally
applicable to Mesa.

Instead of just having an "EGL" renderer, there is now a separate
winsys for each platform. Currently they just directly copy the vtable
for the EGL platform so it is still only possible to have one EGL
platform compiled into Cogl. However the intention is that the
winsys-specific code for each platform will be moved into override
functions in the corresponding platform winsys.
