This adds cogl_framebuffer_ apis for drawing attributes and primitives
that replace corresponding apis that depend on the default CoglContext.
This is part of the on going effort to adapt the Cogl api so it no
longer depends on a global context variable.
All the new drawing functions also take an explicit pipeline argument
since we are also aiming to avoid being a stateful api like Cairo and
OpenGL. Being stateless makes it easier for orthogonal components to
share access to the GPU. Being stateless should also minimize any
impedance miss-match for those wanting to build higher level stateless
apis on top of Cogl.
Note: none of the legacy, global state options such as
cogl_set_depth_test_enabled(), cogl_set_backface_culling_enabled() or
cogl_program_use() are supported by these new drawing apis and if set
will simply be silently ignored.

This removes the limited caching of enabled attributes done by
_cogl_enable() and replaces it with a more generalized set of bitmasks
associated with the context that allow us to efficiently compare the set
of attribute locations that are currently enabled vs the new locations
that need enabling so we only have to inform OpenGL of the changes in
which locations are enabled/disabled.
This also adds a per-context hash table for mapping attribute names to
global name-state structs which includes a unique name-index for any
name as well as pre-validated information about builtin "cogl_"
attribute names including whether the attribute is normalized and what
texture unit a texture attribute corresponds too.
The name-state hash table means that cogl_attribute_new() now only needs
to validate names the first time they are seen.
CoglAttributes now reference a name-state structure instead of just the
attribute name, so now we can efficiently get the name-index for any
attribute and we can use that to index into a per-glsl-program cache
that maps name indices to real GL attribute locations so when we get
asked to draw a set of attributes we can very quickly determine what GL
attributes need to be setup and enabled. If we don't have a cached
location though we can still quickly access the string name so we can
query OpenGL.

Calling g_strdup for attribute names was starting to show up in profiles
due to calling malloc for new string storage so frequently. This avoids
calling g_strdup and calls g_intern_string() instead. For the really
common case names we even avoid the cost of g_intern_string since we
can trivially relate our internal name_id to a static string.

Some code in Cogl such as when flushing a stencil clip assumes that it
can push a temporary simple pipeline to reset to a known state for
internal drawing operations. However this breaks down if the
application has set any legacy state because that is set globally so
it will also get applied to the internal pipeline.
_cogl_draw_attributes already had an internal flag to disable applying
the legacy state but I think this is quite awkward to use because not
all places that push a pipeline draw the attribute buffers directly so
it is difficult to pass the flag down through the layers.
Conceptually the legacy state is meant to be like a layer on top of
the purely pipeline-based state API so I think ideally we should have
an internal function to push the source without the applying the
legacy state. The legacy state can't be applied as the pipeline is
pushed because the global state can be modified even after it is
pushed. This patch adds a _cogl_push_source() function which takes an
extra boolean flag to mark whether to enable the legacy state. The
value of this flag is stored alongside the pipeline in the pipeline
stack. Another new internal function called
_cogl_get_enable_legacy_state queries whether the top entry in the
pipeline stack has legacy state enabled. cogl-primitives and the
vertex array drawing code now use this to determine whether to apply
the legacy state when drawing. The COGL_DRAW_SKIP_LEGACY_STATE flag is
now removed.

For the first iteration of the CoglAttribute API several of the new
functions accepted a pointer to a NULL terminated list of CoglAttribute
pointers - probably as a way to reduce the number of arguments required.
This style isn't consistent with existing Cogl APIs though and so we now
explicitly pass n_attributes arguments and don't require the NULL
termination.
This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to switch away from
using the term "Array" which implies a regular, indexable layout which
isn't the case. We also want to have a strongly implied relationship
between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.
This is part of a broader cleanup of some of the experimental Cogl API.
One of the reasons for this particular rename is to reduce the verbosity
of using the API. Another reason is that CoglVertexArray is going to be
renamed CoglAttributeBuffer and we want to help emphasize the
relationship between CoglAttributes and CoglAttributeBuffers.
