This adds api for explicitly choosing what underlying driver cogl should
use internally for rendering as well as api for querying back what
driver is actually in use.

The recent patch to add an api for explicitly constraining how a
renderer backend is chosen had a typo which this patch fixes.

We are in the process of removing all _EXP suffix mangling for
experimental APIs (Ref: c6528c4b6c) and adding missing gtk-doc
comments so that we can instead rely on the "Stability: unstable"
markers in the gtk-doc comments. This patch tackles the symbols in
cogl-renderer.h.
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.
The SDL winsys was missing a few minor features, such as the
implementation. This patch adds that in.

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.

we've got into a bit of a mess with how we name platform specific
symbols and files, so this is a first pass at trying to tidy that up.
All platform specific symbols should be named like
cogl_<platform>_symbol_name and similarly files should be named like
cogl-<platform>-filename.c
This patch tackles the X11 specific renderer/display APIs as a start.

This adds Xlib and Win32 typesafe replacements for

cogl_renderer_remove_native_filter. The old functions are kept as an

This adds API to let you override the choice of Cogl's winsys backend.
Previously it was only possible to override the winsys using the
COGL_RENDERER environment variable, but it's useful for something like
Clutter to be able to control the winsys via API without needing
environment variable tricks. This also adds API to query back the
winsys chosen by Cogl, in case you don't set an explicit override.

Instead of using _cogl_xlib_add/remove_filter we now use
_cogl_renderer_add/remove_native_filter. The _cogl_xlib_add_filter API
was only required as a stop gap while EGL support was still in Clutter
because in that case we were using the stub winsys and didn't have a
CoglRenderer.
To support toolkits targeting wayland and using Cogl we allow toolkits
to be responsible for connecting to a wayland display and asking Cogl to
use the toolkit owned display and compositor object. Note: eventually
the plan is that wayland will allow retrospective querying of objects so
we won't need the foreign compositor API when Cogl can simply query it
from the foreign display.
Wayland now supports integration via standard eglSurfaces which makes it
possible to share more code with other EGL platforms. (though at some
point cogl-winsys-egl.c really needs to gain a more formal
CoglEGLPlatform abstraction so we can rein back on the amount of #ifdefs
we have.)
Instead of having cogl_renderer_xlib_add_filter and friends there is
now cogl_renderer_add_native_filter which can be used regardless of
the backend. The callback function for the filter now just takes a
void pointer instead of an XEvent pointer which should be interpreted
differently depending on the backend. For example, on Xlib it would
still be an XEvent but on Windows it could be a MSG. This simplifies
the code somewhat because the _cogl_xlib_add_filter no longer needs to
have its own filter list when a stub renderer is used because there is
always a renderer available.
cogl_renderer_xlib_handle_event has also been renamed to
cogl_renderer_handle_native_event. This just forwards the event on to
all of the listeners. The backend renderer is expected to register its
own event filter if it wants to process the events in some way.
As part of the process of splitting Cogl out as a standalone graphics
API we need to introduce some API concepts that will allow us to
initialize a new CoglContext when Clutter isn't there to handle that for
us...
The new objects roughly in the order that they are (optionally) involved
in constructing a context are: CoglRenderer, CoglOnscreenTemplate,
CoglSwapChain and CoglDisplay.
Conceptually a CoglRenderer represents a means for rendering. Cogl
supports rendering via OpenGL or OpenGL ES 1/2.0 and those APIs are
accessed through a number of different windowing APIs such as GLX, EGL,
SDL or WGL and more. Potentially in the future Cogl could render using
D3D or even by using libdrm and directly banging the hardware. All these
choices are wrapped up in the configuration of a CoglRenderer.
Conceptually a CoglDisplay represents a display pipeline for a renderer.
Although Cogl doesn't aim to provide a detailed abstraction of display
hardware, on some platforms we can give control over multiple display
planes (On TV platforms for instance video content may be on one plane
and 3D would be on another so a CoglDisplay lets you select the plane
up-front.)
Another aspect of CoglDisplay is that it lets us negotiate a display
pipeline that best supports the type of CoglOnscreen framebuffers we are
planning to create. For instance if you want transparent CoglOnscreen
framebuffers then we have to be sure the display pipeline wont discard
the alpha component of your framebuffers. Or if you want to use
double/tripple buffering that requires support from the display
pipeline.
CoglOnscreenTemplate and CoglSwapChain are how we describe our default
CoglOnscreen framebuffer configuration which can affect the
configuration of the display pipeline.
The default/simple way we expect most CoglContexts to be constructed
will be via something like:
if (!cogl_context_new (NULL, &error))
g_error ("Failed to construct a CoglContext: %s", error->message);
Where that NULL is for an optional "display" parameter and NULL says to
Cogl "please just try to do something sensible".
If you want some more control though you can manually construct a
CoglDisplay something like:
display = cogl_display_new (NULL, NULL);
cogl_gdl_display_set_plane (display, plane);
if (!cogl_display_setup (display, &error))
g_error ("Failed to setup a CoglDisplay: %s", error->message);
And in a similar fashion to cogl_context_new() you can optionally pass
a NULL "renderer" and/or a NULL "onscreen template" so Cogl will try to
just do something sensible.
If you need to change the CoglOnscreen defaults you can provide a
template something like:
chain = cogl_swap_chain_new ();
cogl_swap_chain_set_has_alpha (chain, TRUE);
cogl_swap_chain_set_length (chain, 3);
onscreen_template = cogl_onscreen_template_new (chain);
cogl_onscreen_template_set_pixel_format (onscreen_template,
COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB565);
display = cogl_display_new (NULL, onscreen_template);
if (!cogl_display_setup (display, &error))
g_error ("Failed to setup a CoglDisplay: %s", error->message);
