The existence of OpenGL implementations that do not provide the full
core profile compatibility because of reasons beyond the technical, like
llvmpipe not implementing floating point buffers, makes the existence of
GdkGLProfile and documenting the fact that we use core profiles a bit
harder.
Since we do not have any existing profile except the default, we can
remove the GdkGLProfile and its related API from GDK and GTK+, and sweep
the whole thing under the carpet, while we wait for an extension that
lets us ask for the most compatible profile possible.

When using GDK_GL_PROFILE_3_2_CORE, we are not only specifying that the
GDK should create a core profile; we are also specifying that the
minimum required version of OpenGL is set to 3.2.
We should also specify that the GDK_GL_PROFILE_DEFAULT profile is an
alias for GDK_GL_PROFILE_3_2_CORE.
We simply don't want to care about legacy OpenGL.
All supported platforms also have support for OpenGL ≥ 3.2; it would
complicate the internal code; and would force us to use legacy GL
contexts internally if the first context created by the user is a legacy
GL context, and disable creation of core-3.2 contexts after that.
We will need to fix all our code examples to use the Core 3.2 profile.

This adds the new type GdkGLContext that wraps an OpenGL context for a
particular native window. It also adds support for the gdk paint
machinery to use OpenGL to draw everything. As soon as anyone creates
a GL context for a native window we create a "paint context" for that
GdkWindow and switch to using GL for painting it.
This commit contains only an implementation for X11 (using GLX).
The way painting works is that all client gl contexts draw into
offscreen buffers rather than directly to the back buffer, and the
way something gets onto the window is by using gdk_cairo_draw_from_gl()
to draw part of that buffer onto the draw cairo context.
As a fallback (if we're doing redirected drawing or some effect like a
cairo_push_group()) we read back the gl buffer into memory and composite
using cairo. This means that GL rendering works in all cases, including
rendering to a PDF. However, this is not particularly fast.
In the *typical* case, where we're drawing directly to the window in
the regular paint loop we hit the fast path. The fast path uses opengl
to draw the buffer to the window back buffer, either by blitting or
texturing. Then we track the region that was drawn, and when the draw
ends we paint the normal cairo surface to the window (using
texture-from-pixmap in the X11 case, or texture from cairo image
otherwise) in the regions where there is no gl painted.
There are some complexities wrt layering of gl and cairo areas though:
* We track via gdk_window_mark_paint_from_clip() whenever gtk is
painting over a region we previously rendered with opengl
(flushed_region). This area (needs_blend_region) is blended
rather than copied at the end of the frame.
* If we're drawing a gl texture with alpha we first copy the current
cairo_surface inside the target region to the back buffer before
we blend over it.
These two operations allow us full stacking of transparent gl and cairo
regions.
This commit introduces GDK_TOUCH_BEGIN/UPDATE/END/CANCEL
and a separate GdkEventTouch struct that they use. This
is closer to the touch event API of other platforms and
matches the xi2 events closely, too.
Add GDK_MODIFIER_INTENT_SHIFT_GROUP to enum GdkModifierIntent
and handle it in gdk_keymap_get_modifier_mask(). Add an X11
impl of the method and return keymap_x11->group_switch_mask.
Return 0 from the default impl because we don't know.
Add enum GdkModifierIntent which identifies use cases for modifier masks
and GdkKeyMap::get_modifier_mask(). Add a default implementation which returns
what is currently hardcoded all over GTK+, and an implementation in the
quartz backend. Also add gtk_widget_get_modifier_mask() which simplifies
things by doing widget->display->keymap->get_modifier_mask().
XKB and GDK both add "internal" bits to GdkModifierType. In C,
this typically doesn't cause problems as bitfields are just integers,
and there's no validation. However for bindings, it's normal to
convert enumerations to "native" enumeration types, which don't
support unknown bits. See bug 597292.

This commit hides the GdkDisplayManager instance and class structs,
adds vfuncs for listing displays, opening displays, and getting and
setting the default display. The X11 backend has a derived
GdkDisplayManagerX11.
The gdk_display_manager_get() function is responsible for deciding on
which of the compiled in backends to use. Currently, it consults the
GDK_BACKEND environment variable and falls back to x11.
Add a GdkDisplay::get_app_launch_context vfunc, and a
gdk_display_get_app_launch_context that for X11 returns a subclass.
For win32 and quartz, the implementations were trivial, so we
just return a new GdkAppLaunchContext without subclassing. Since
the type of the context now depends on the display,
gdk_app_launch_context_set_display is deprecated.
GdkRGBA is a boxed struct similar to GdkColor, with the difference
that it stores alpha information as well, and colors are stored in
[0..1] doubles, in the cairo spirit.
gdk_cairo_set_source_rgba() has been also added to allow easier handling
of this new type.
gdk_threads_mutex, gdk_threads_lock and gdk_threads_unlock are removed
from public API. gdk_threads_mutex was deprecated already. Instead of
using gdk_threads_lock and _unlock one was presumably supposed to use
the GDK_THREADS_ENTER and _LEAVE macros, which now simply call the
corresponding gdk_threads_enter() and _leave() functions.
Remove he dllimport/dllexport ugliness for GDK for Windows.
There is still a gdk_display variable being exported by the X11
backend.
Only changes in headers: GdkRegion and GdkRectangle are typedeffed to
cairo_region_t and cairo_rectangle_int_t respectively. The region type
was opaque anyway so it doesn't matter and the rectangle types are
identical.
