Some code in Cogl such as when flushing a stencil clip assumes that it
can push a temporary simple pipeline to reset to a known state for
internal drawing operations. However this breaks down if the
application has set any legacy state because that is set globally so
it will also get applied to the internal pipeline.
_cogl_draw_attributes already had an internal flag to disable applying
the legacy state but I think this is quite awkward to use because not
all places that push a pipeline draw the attribute buffers directly so
it is difficult to pass the flag down through the layers.
Conceptually the legacy state is meant to be like a layer on top of
the purely pipeline-based state API so I think ideally we should have
an internal function to push the source without the applying the
legacy state. The legacy state can't be applied as the pipeline is
pushed because the global state can be modified even after it is
pushed. This patch adds a _cogl_push_source() function which takes an
extra boolean flag to mark whether to enable the legacy state. The
value of this flag is stored alongside the pipeline in the pipeline
stack. Another new internal function called
_cogl_get_enable_legacy_state queries whether the top entry in the
pipeline stack has legacy state enabled. cogl-primitives and the
vertex array drawing code now use this to determine whether to apply
the legacy state when drawing. The COGL_DRAW_SKIP_LEGACY_STATE flag is
now removed.

For the first iteration of the CoglAttribute API several of the new
functions accepted a pointer to a NULL terminated list of CoglAttribute
pointers - probably as a way to reduce the number of arguments required.
This style isn't consistent with existing Cogl APIs though and so we now
explicitly pass n_attributes arguments and don't require the NULL
termination.
This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to switch away from
using the term "Array" which implies a regular, indexable layout which
isn't the case. We also want to have a strongly implied relationship
between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.

One of the reasons for this particular rename is to reduce the verbosity
of using the API. Another reason is that CoglVertexArray is going to be
renamed CoglAttributeBuffer and we want to help emphasize the
relationship between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.
