Neil Roberts e5543a658f Make libdisable-npots a bit more portable
Instead of including GL/gl.h directly it now includes cogl/cogl.h
instead which should include the right GL header.

Instead of using dlopen to specifically open libGL it now tries to use
dlsym with RTLD_NEXT. This requires defining _GNU_SOURCE on GNU
systems. If RTLD_NEXT is not available it will try passing NULL which
is unlikely to work but it will at least catch the case where it
returns the wrapper version of glGetString to prevent infinite
recursion.

This should hopefully make it work on OS X where the name of the
header and library are different (although this is currently
untested).

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.
