This merged gtk, gdk and gsk into one library, making it possible to
have internal private APIs between gtk them, as well as producing more
efficient code.

This adds the initial MSVC build items needed to build GSK under Visual Studio,
this is part of it that is required, we need to add items to the property sheets
to generate the code that is generated via glib-mkenums and glib-compile-resources.
This set includes, with the autotools scripts for the complete:
-GSK project files, which is integrated into the gtk+-4.sln.
-The NMake snippets to build the introspection files for GSK.
-The .bat files to call glib-mkenums to generate the enumeration sources.
We can use the GL_ARB_timer_query extension (available since OpenGL
3.2, and part of the OpenGL specification since version 3.3) to query
the time elapsed when drawing each frame. This allows us to gather
timing information on our use of the GPU.
GskShaderBuilder is an ancillary, private type that deals with the
internals of taking GLSL shaders from resources and building them,
with the additional feature of being able to compose shaders from a
common preamble, as well as adding conditional defines (useful for
enabling debugging code in the shaders themselves).
GSK is conceptually split into two scene graphs:
* a simple rendering tree of operations
* a complex set of logical layers
The latter is built on the former, and adds convenience and high level
API for application developers.
The lower layer, though, is what gets transformed into the rendering
pipeline, as it's simple and thus can be transformed into appropriate
rendering commands with minimal state changes.
The lower layer is also suitable for reuse from more complex higher
layers, like the CSS machinery in GTK, without necessarily port those
layers to the GSK high level API.
This lower layer is based on GskRenderNode instances, which represent
the tree of rendering operations; and a GskRenderer instance, which
takes the render nodes and submits them (after potentially reordering
and transforming them to a more appropriate representation) to the
underlying graphic system.
