We need them for mask-only textures.
For tiffs, we convert the formats to RGBA (the idea that tiff can save
everything needs to be buried I guess) as tiffs can't do alpha-only.
The API docs outline why quite well.
This should make it possible to do saving of textures to image files
without any private API with the same featureset that GTK uses.
Also remove the gsktextureprivate.h include where
gdk_texture_get_format() was the only reason for it.
libpng wants to receive samples in either RGB or RGBA order, whether
each sample is big-endian or not. This resolves test failures in
testsuite/gdk/memorytexture.c (and a lot of reftests) on s390x, and
probably the PowerPC family too.
Modifying the test to show the color in use and write out the PNG bytes
to a file, and running the memorytexture test on s390x, produces a PNG
that loads with the correct color values in GIMP (on an x86_64 machine),
which seems like evidence that this is the correct change and not just
compensating errors.

Pass a format do GdkTextureClass::download(). That way we can download
data in any format.
Also replace gdk_texture_download_texture() with
gdk_memory_texture_from_texture() which again takes a format.
The old functionality is still there for code that wants it: Just pass
gdk_texture_get_format (texture) as the format argument.
For MemoryTexture, this is a simple change.
For GLTexture, we need to query the format at texture creation. This
sounds like a bad idea and extra work until one realizes that we'd
need to do that anyway when using the texure the first time - either
when downloading, or when trying to use it in a rendernode, where we
will soon need that information to determine if the texture prefers high
depth.
Also, now make gdk_memory_convert() the only conversion functions
and allow conversions between any 2 formats by going via a float[4].
This could be optimized via fast-paths, but so far it isn't.
1. Change INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY to TOO_LARGE
GTK crashes on insufficient memory, we don't emit GErrors.
2. Split UNSUPPORTED into UNSUPPORTED_CONTENT and UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT
So we know if you need to find an RPM with a loader or curse and
the weird file.
3. Translate error messages, they are meant for end users.
When loading, convert all >8-bit data to
GDK_MEMORY_R16G16B16A16_PREMULTIPLIED.
When saving, save all 8-bit formats as 8-bit RGBA,
and save all >8-bt formats as 16-bit RGBA.
Using libpng instead of the lowest-common-denominator
gdk-pixbuf loader. This will allow us to load >8bit data,
and apply gamma and color correction in the future.
For now, this still just provides RGBA8 data.
As a consequence, we are now linking against libpng.
