71a4db6135 animation: Allow detaching an animation from an actor
When animating an actor through clutter_actor_animate() and friends we
might want forcibly detach the animation instance from the actor in
order to start a new one - for instance, in response to user
interaction.

Currently, there is no way to do that except in a very convoluted way,
by emitting the ::completed signal and adding a special case in the
signal handlers; this is due to the fact that clutter_actor_animate()
adds more logic than the one added by clutter_animation_set_object(),
so calling set_object(NULL) or unreferencing the animation instance
itself won't be enough.

The right way to approach this is to add a new method to Clutter.Actor
that detaches any eventual Animation currently referencing it.

33642757f5 animation: Use 'guint' for set_duration() parameter
The :duration property and the get_duration() method use unsigned int,
but the setter using a signed integer for no apparent reason.

899f051cd9 [animation] Add Animation::update()
Currently, to update a property inside an animation you have to
get the interval for that property and then call the set_final_value()
method.

We can provide a simpler, bind()-like method for the convenience of
the developers that just validates everything and then calls the
Interval.set_final_value().

79cb0a3515 [animation] Remove InitiallyUnowned from Animation
ClutterAnimation currently inherits the initial floating reference
semantics from GInitiallyUnowned. An Animation is, though, meant to
be used as a top-level object, like a Timeline or a Behaviour, and
not "owned" by another object. For this reason, the initial floating
reference does not make any sense.

6bf883da6c [animation] Add the ::started signal
The Animation class is missing a ::started signal matching the
::completed one. A ::started signal is useful for debugging,
initial state set up, and checks.

216373047b [animation] Enhance consistency of the Animation API
The Animation API should follow this pattern:

  - functions with an Interval as part of the arguments should have
    "interval" inside their name, e.g.:

      clutter_animation_bind_interval
      clutter_animation_update_interval

  - functions dealing with property names should have "property"
    inside their name, e.g.:

      clutter_animation_has_property
      clutter_animation_unbind_property

    - unless -

  - functions dealing with a property and its value should not
    have any modifier, e.g.:

      clutter_animation_bind

The change from update_property() to update_interval() frees up
clutter_animation_update(), to be added at a later date.

0cb0a841cc [animation] Enhance the bind API
Bug 1419 - Add clutter_animation_bind, rename clutter_animation_bind_interval

This is a different approach from the clutter_actor_animatev
vector variant.  The single call should be even easier on
automatic bindings, since calls can be chained like:

  new Clutter.Animation({object: myactor}).bind("x", 42).bind("y", 43);

Note clutter_animation_bind_property which took a ClutterInterval
is renamed to clutter_animation_bind_interval for clarity, and to
discourage use since there are friendlier APIs about.

156589fe3f [animation] Add Animation getter
If we are animating an actor using the clutter_actor_animate*() family
of functions we might want to expose a getter for the Animation instance
we are using, to avoid excessing bookkeeping.

44d0733665 [animation] Add an emitter for ::completed
The ::completed signal requires an emitter in case we want to stop
the animation and safely dispose it inside application code without
breaking invariants.

89e3e3a4cc [animation] Add vector variants for ::animate()
Bug 1438 - Implicit Animation API could use animatev variants

The clutter_actor_animate* family of functions use va_lists to
handle the property/value pairs for the final state of the
animation.

Language bindings have problems with variadic arguments functions,
and usually prefer vector-based API which allow a greater level
of control and conversion from native data types.

For each variadic arguments function in the clutter_actor_animate*
family there should be a vector-based version that takes:

  - the number of property/value pairs
  - a constant array of constant strings
  - an array of GValues

Most of the internal implementation can be refactored from the
current one, thus both the var_args and the vector entry points
share a common implementation of the code; then, both versions
of the API are just loops over a list of arguments.

d02819949d Remove AnimationMode from the Animation API
The animation mode symbolic id might come from the AnimationMode
enumeration or from the clutter_alpha_register_*() family of
functions. For this reason, we should use a gulong instead of
ClutterAnimationMode whenever we have an "animation mode" parameter
or property.

068ba1caf0 [animation] Extend ClutterAnimation support to all objects
Instead of limiting the use of ClutterAnimation to ClutterActor
instances, relax the constraint to include all GObject classes.

ClutterAnimation is not using actor-specific API, since it is
only using properties.

The only actor-based API is the clutter_actor_animate() family
of functions.

Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements

	* clutter/Makefile.am:
	* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build

	* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
	for easing functions.

	* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
	control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
	enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:

		- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
		- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out

	* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
	the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
	ClutterAnimationMode.

	* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
	object for defining, validating and computing an interval
	between two values.

	* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
	object responsible for animation the properties of a single
	actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
	management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
	ClutterActor is provided:

		clutter_actor_animate()

	which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
	actor.

	* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
	* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.

	* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
	whitelist, and add the new functions.

	* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
	API reference.

	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
	doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
	avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.

	* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
	doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
	file and not a SGML file.

	* tests/Makefile.am:
	* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
	* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
	new simple animation API and the easing functions.

	* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
	* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
	to the deprecations and new alpha API.
