Texture allocation is now consistently handled lazily such that the
internal format can now be controlled using
cogl_texture_set_components() and cogl_texture_set_premultiplied()
before allocating the texture with cogl_texture_allocate(). This means
that the internal_format arguments to texture constructors are now
redundant and since most of the texture constructors now can't ever fail
the error arguments are also redundant. This now means we no longer
use CoglPixelFormat in the public api for describing the internal format
of textures which had been bad solution originally due to how specific
CoglPixelFormat is which is missleading when we don't support such
explicit control over the internal format.

Note: there are numerous API changes for functions currently marked
as 'unstable' which we don't think are in use by anyone depending on
a stable 1.x api. Compared to the original patch though this avoids
changing the cogl_texture_rectangle_new_with_size() api which we know
is used by Mutter.
This declares the interface types CoglFramebuffer, CoglBuffer,
CoglTexture, CoglMetaTexture and CoglPrimitiveTexture as void when
including the public cogl.h header so that users don't have to use lots
of C type casts between instance types and interface types.
This also removes all of the COGL_XYZ() type cast macros since they do
nothing more than compile time type casting but it's less readable if
you haven't seen that coding pattern before.
Unlike with gobject based apis that use per-type macros for casting and
performing runtime type checking we instead prefer to do our runtime
type checking internally within the front-end public apis when objects
are passed into Cogl. This greatly reduces the verbosity for users of
the api and may help reduce the chance of excessive runtime type
checking that can sometimes be a problem.

Since we can't break the 1.x api this version of the patch actually
defines compatible NOP macros within deprecated/cogl-type-casts.h
This updates the old point sprites interactive test from Clutter to be
a standalone Cogl example using the 2.0 API.
