... instead of a gl context.
This requires some refactoring in the way we mark the shared context as
drawing: We now call begin_frame/end_frame() on it and ignore the call
on the main context.
Unfortunately we need to do this check in all vfuncs, which sucks. But I
haven't found a better way.
Reenable GL drawing, but do it without Cairo.
Now, the context passed to gdk_window_begin_draw_frame() decides how
drawing is going to happen. If it is NULL, Cairo is used like before.
If a context is passed, Cairo may not be used for drawing and
gdk_drawing_context_get_cairo_context() is going to return NULL.
Instead, the GL renderer must draw to the GL backbuffer and
end_draw_frame() is then swapping that to the front.
The GskGLRenderer has lost the texture it used to render to and adapted
to render directly to the backbuffer instead.
The only thing missing is for GtkGLArea to gain back a performant way to
render. But it didn't have one since the introduction of GSK, this
patchset doesn't change anything about it.
The new rendering avoids two indirections (the GSK renderer's texture
and the GDK double buffering surface).
It improves icon count in the fishbowl demo by 30%.
When disposing a GdkDrawingContext we should unset the association
between the instance and the Cairo context; this avoids stale pointers
in case a reference that has acquired on the Cairo context survives the
lifetime of the GdkDrawingContext.
Instead of associating the GdkWindow that created the GdkDrawingContext
we can directly bind the Cairo context to the GDK drawing context.
Cairo contexts created via gdk_cairo_create() go back to not having a
GdkWindow associated to them, like they did before we introduced the
gdk_window_begin_draw_frame() API.

Instead of giving out Cairo contexts, GdkWindow should provide a
"drawing context", which can then create Cairo contexts on demand; this
allows us to future proof the API for when we're going to use a
different rendering pipeline, like OpenGL.
