Robert Bragg c6528c4b6c Start removing _EXP defines and improves some docs
Originally we decided to use #define tricks to rename all experimental
symbols so that they had an _EXP suffix so it would be a bit clearer for
those wanting to check for ABI changes that they shouldn't worry about
these experimental symbols.

We feel now though that the defines are a bit more hassle than they are
really worth, since they are one extra thing to remember when coding,
they make using gdb slightly more awkward since you have to use the real
symbol name to set breakpoints and we already have a mechanism for
declaring symbols as experimental via gtk-doc that can be used by anyone
wanting to check for ABI changes.

Instead of just using a script to remove all the #defines we are going
to go through them manually because we need to make sure the symbols
are marked as unstable via gtk-doc. This patch does a first batch of
define removals and in fact some of the symbols didn't have any
documentation at all so that needed to be added too.

* @short_description: Common buffer functions, including data upload APIs
* @stability: unstable
*
* The CoglBuffer API provides a common interface to manipulate
* buffers that have been allocated either via cogl_pixel_buffer_new()
* or cogl_attribute_buffer_new(). The API allows you to upload data
* to these buffers and define usage hints that help Cogl manage your
* buffer optimally.
*
* Data can either be uploaded by supplying a pointer and size so Cogl
* can copy your data, or you can mmap() a CoglBuffer and then you can
* copy data to the buffer directly.
*
* One of the most common uses for CoglBuffers is to upload texture
* data asynchronously since the ability to mmap the buffers into
* the CPU makes it possible for another thread to handle the IO
* of loading an image file and unpacking it into the mapped buffer
* without blocking other Cogl operations.
