Some effects such as the BrightnessContrastEffect try to skip rendering
by returning early with a FALSE return value in pre_paint() in cases
where the effect would not change the rendering. This stopped working
when effects were ported to paint nodes.
In the case of OffscreenEffects, like BrightnessContrastEffect,
pre_paint() is responsible for setting up the offscreen buffer which is
then used in paint_node(). However if pre_paint() fails, this buffer is
not created and attempting to use it will result in several error
messages and broken rendering.
Instead of trying to call paint_node() of the effect if pre_paint()
failed, just draw the actor.

In the purely paint node based rendering future, ClutterEffects
simply add more paint nodes to the tree when painting the actor.
This is the leap to achieve that future.
Add paint nodes to pre_paint, paint, and post_paint, and move the
ClutterEffectNode creation to _clutter_effect_paint().

Some effects, such as ShellBlurEffect and ClutterOffscreenEffect, need
to make sure the actor is painted fully opaque. With ClutterActorNode,
however, that is currently not possible.
Add a new 'opacity' parameter to clutter_actor_node_new(). It follows
the opacity override heuristic, where -1 means disable, and anything
else is clamped to [0, 255].

Introduce a new paint_node vfunc that, if implemented, allows
the effect to add nodes to a transient paint node that is
immediately painted. This is a transitional step until we
have fully delegated paint node rendering.
The most basic implementation of a ClutterEffect.paint_node
vfunc, and also the default implementation, is with an actor
node, as follows:
```
static void
foo_bar_paint_node (ClutterEffect *effect,
ClutterPaintNode *node,
ClutterPaintContext *paint_context,
ClutterEffectPaintFlags flags)
{
g_autoptr (ClutterPaintNode) actor_node = NULL;
actor_node = clutter_actor_node_new (effect->actor);
clutter_paint_node_add_child (node, actor_node);
}
```
This example gives the exact same behavior of simply calling
clutter_actor_continue_paint(). In the future, the paint node
itself will be a parameter of clutter_actor_continue_paint()
and we'll be able to simplify it event more.

ClutterRedrawFlags are a way to give Clutter additional context
about what it needs to redraw. There currently is only one flag defined,
CLUTTER_REDRAW_CLIPPED_TO_ALLOCATION, this flag would clip the redraw to
the actors current allocation.
Since ClutterActor also provides the clip_to_allocation property (which
affects the paint volume of the actor instead of only one redraw), the
additional CLIPPED_TO_ALLOCATION flag seems unnecessary. It's also only
defined to be used privately in Clutter, which it never is, so let's
remove it.

Just as with painting, add a pick context that carries pick related
temporary state when doing actor picking. It is currently unused, and
will at least at first still carry around a framebuffer to deal track
view transforms etc.

When painting, actors rely on semi global state tracked by the state to
get various things needed for painting, such as the current draw
framebuffer. Having state hidden in such ways can be very deceiving as
it's hard to follow changes spread out, and adding more and more state
that should be tracked during a paint gets annoying as they will not
change in isolation but one by one in their own places. To do this
better, introduce a paint context that is passed along in paint calls
that contains the necessary state needed during painting.
The paint context implements a framebuffer stack just as Cogl works,
which is currently needed for offscreen rendering used by clutter.
The same context is passed around for paint nodes, contents and effects
as well.
In this commit, the context is only introduced, but not used. It aims to
replace the Cogl framebuffer stack, and will allow actors to know what
view it is currently painted on.

This is for all intents and purposes the same as
`cogl_object_ref/unref`, but still refers to handles rather than
objects (while we're trying to get rid of the former) so it's a bit of
unnecessary redundant API.

If an effect is active and it overrides the paint volume, we should
always recompute the paint volume when requested and not use the
cache, since the paint volume override can change from call to
call depending on what phase of painting we are in. For instance,
if we are part way through painting effects and request the
paint volume, the paint volume should only go up to the current
effect, but in a later call to compute repaint regions, the
paint volume needs to expand to accomadate the effect.
This still involves a lot of recomputation in the case of effects -
in a later clutter version it would be worth adding an API to
allow effects to explicitly recompute and return a new the paint
volume up to the current effect as opposed to recomputing
the cached one.
In cogl use cogl-config.h and in clutter use clutter-build-config.h. We
can't use clutter-config.h in clutter because its already used and
installed.
