Neil Roberts c68cf3564e [test-paint-wrapper] Use a separate paint guard for each actor
Since commit c7c5cf9b ClutterCloneTexture causes an extra paint of the
source actor during the paint run of the cloned texture if the source
is not yet visible. When the stage is first shown it is redrawn
immediatly before it is mapped which means get_paint_visibility will
fail on the source actor so the inner paint will be run. The paint
guards were a global variable so they didn't cope with a second actor
being painted.

The breakage didn't occur until commit d510a4b0 because
get_paint_visibility was also broken.

Outline of test categories:

The conform/ tests should be non-interactive unit-tests that verify a single feature is behaving as documented. See conform/ADDING_NEW_TESTS for more details.

The micro-bench/ tests should be focused perfomance test, ideally testing a single metric. Please never forget that these tests are synthetec and if you are using them then you understand what metric is being tested. They probably don't reflect any real world application loads and the intention is that you use these tests once you have already determined the crux of your problem and need focused feedback that your changes are indeed improving matters. There is no exit status requirements for these tests, but they should give clear feedback as to their performance. If the framerate is the feedback metric, then the test should forcibly enable FPS debugging.

The interactive/ tests are any tests whos status can not be determined without a user looking at some visual output, or providing some manual input etc. This covers most of the original Clutter tests. Ideally some of these tests will be migrated into the conformance/ directory so they can be used in automated nightly tests.

Other notes:
All tests should ideally include a detailed description in the source explaining exactly what the test is for, how the test was designed to work, and possibly a rationale for the aproach taken for testing.
