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.

Fog is explicitly deprecated in favour of CoglSnippet API,
and in nowhere we are using this deprecated feature, which
means we can simply drop it without any sort of replacement.

Clutter had support for internal children in its early revisions, but they
were deprecated for long time (commit f41061b8df, more than 7 years ago) and
no one is using them in both clutter and in gnome-shell.
So remove any alternative code path that uses internal children.

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.

Currently, Clutter does picking by drawing with Cogl and reading
the pixel that's beneath the given point. Since Cogl has a journal
that records drawing operations, and has optimizations to read a
single pixel from a list of rectangle, it would be expected that
we would hit this fast path and not flush the journal while picking.
However, that's not the case: dithering, clipping with scissors, etc,
can all flush the journal, issuing commands to the GPU and making
picking slow. On NVidia-based systems, this glReadPixels() call is
extremely costly.
Introduce geometric picking, and avoid using the Cogl journal entirely.
Do this by introducing a stack of actors in ClutterStage. This stack
is cached, but for now, don't use the cache as much as possible.
The picking routines are still tied to painting.
When projecting the actor vertexes, do it manually and take the modelview
matrix of the framebuffer into account as well.

Some of the marshallers we generate in `clutter-marshal.list` are also
available in GLib, so we don't need to generate them ourselves. Even
more, by passing NULL to `g_signal_new` in these cases will actually
internally optimize this even more by also setting the valist
marshaller, which is a little bit faster than the regular marshalling
using `GValue` and libffi.

Clutter has two motion event toggles: one in the global context, and
one per stage. The global one is deprecated, and currently unused.
Remove the global motion event handling.
