The function will be used in copying from a primary GPU framebuffer to a
secondary GPU framebuffer using the primary GPU specifically when the
secondary GPU is not render-capable.
To allow falling back in case glBlitFramebuffer cannot be used, add boolean
return value, and GError argument for debugging purposes.

Depends on "cogl: Replace ANGLE with GLES3 and NV framebuffer_blit"
Allow blitting between onscreen and offscreen framebuffers by doing the y-flip
as necessary. This was not possible with ANGLE, but now with ANGLE gone,
glBlitFramebuffer supports flipping the copied image.
This will be useful in follow-up work to copy from onscreen primary GPU
framebuffer to an offscreen secondary GPU framebuffer.

As a possible ANGLE implementation is not longer limiting the pixel format
matching, lift the requirement of having the same pixel format.
We still cannot do a premult <-> non-premult conversion during a blit, so guard
against that.
This will be useful in follow-up work to copy from onscreen primary GPU
framebuffer to an offscreen secondary GPU framebuffer if the formats do not
match exactly.

ANGLE extensions are only provided by Google's Almost Native Graphics Layer
Engine (ANGLE) implementation. Therefore they do not seem too useful for
Mutter.
The reason to drop GL_ANGLE_framebuffer_blit support is that it has more
limitations compared to the glBlitFramebuffer in GL_EXT_framebuffer_blit,
GL_NV_framebuffer_bit, OpenGL 3.0 and OpenGL ES 3.0. Most importantly, the
ANGLE version cannot flip the image while copying, which limits
_cogl_blit_framebuffer to only off-screen <-> off-screen copies. Follow-up work
will need off-screen <-> on-screen copies.
Instead of adding yet more capability flags to Cogl, dropping ANGLE support
seems appropriate.
The NV extension is added to the list of glBlitFramebuffer providers because it
provides the same support as ANGLE and more.
Likewise OpenGL ES 3.0 is added to the list of glBlitFramebuffer providers
because e.g. Mesa GLES implementation usually provides it and that makes it
widely available, again surpassing the ANGLE supported features.
Follow-up patches will lift some of the Cogl assumptions of what
glBlitFramebuffer cannot do.

This basically reverts commit 54735dec, which tried to avoid the
GLib-defined types in favor the standard C ones. One exception to this
is the bool type, for which the commit introduces a new type CoglBool.
Let's just get rid of this type in favor of having consistency with the
GLib types. Note by the way that neither CoglBool nor gboolean (which
has a size of `int`) are completely compatible with bool (size `char`).

The depth buffer is marked as invalid when 1) the framebuffer is just created,
and 2) whenever GL_DEPTH_TEST is enabled on it. This will ensure the
framebuffers attached depth buffer (if any) is properly cleared before it's
actually used, while saving needless clears while depth testing is disabled
(the default).

Since now we don't set the swap throttled value based
on sync-to-vblank, we can effectively remove it from
Cogl. Throttling swap buffers in Cogl is as much a
historical artifact as sync-to-vblank. Furthermore,
it doesn't make sense to disable it on a compositor,
which is the case with the embedded Cogl.
In addition to that, the winsys vfunc for updating
whenever swap throttling changes could also be removed,
since swap throttling is always enabled now.
Removing it means less code, less branches when running,
and one less config option to deal with.
This also removes the micro-perf test, since it doesn't
make sense for the case where Cogl is embedded into the
compositor.
