2b81d90dd7 Eliminate G_CONST_RETURN
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.

We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.

At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.

Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611

Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.

c075d26fb2 actor: Add ActorMeta, a base class for actor modifiers
ClutterActorMeta is a base, abstract class that can be used to derive
classes that are attached to a ClutterActor instance in order to modify
the way an actor is painted, sized/positioned or responds to events.

A typed container for ActorMeta instances is also provided to the
sub-classes can be attached to an Actor.
