No visible changes as GL rendering is disabled at the moment.
What was done:
1. Move window->invalidate_for_new_frame to glcontext->begin_frame
This moves the code to where it is used (the GLContext) and prepares it
for being called where it is used when actually beginning to draw the
frame.
2. Get rid of buffer-age usage
We want to let the application render directly to the backbuffer.
Because of that, we cannot make any assumptions about the contents the
application renders outside the clip area.
In particular GskGLRenderer renders random stuff there but not actual
contents.
3. Pass the actual GL context
Previously, we passed the shared context to end_frame, now we pass the
actual GL context that the application uses for rendering. This is so
that the vfuncs could prepare the actual contexts for rendering (they
don't currently).
4. Simplify the code
The previous code set up the final drawing method in begin_frame.
Instead, we now just ensure the clip area is something we can render
and decide on the actual method in end_frame.
This is both more robust (we can change the clip area in between if we
want to) and less code.
This way we can recommend that applications use the
fullscreen_on_monitor() API on both X and Wayland otherwise they'd
have to keep a path for each backend to achieve this functionality.

These complicate a lot of GdkWindow internals to implement features
that not a lot of apps use, and will be better achieved using gsk.
So, we just drop it all.
X11 was the only backend to support it and people can just override it
using XSetClassHint() directly.
The docs already advertised the function as "Do not use".
Keep the existing call to XSetClassHint() in place, so that we keep
setting the same values as in GTK3.
Set _GTK_THEME_VARIANT to empty string when default theme variant
is used. This will allow to understand whether _GTK_THEME_VARIANT
is not supported or default variant is requested.

We are getting the mime data destroy notify called when we
destroy the surface in finalize. Trying to set the XSync counters
at this time is a) pointless and b) yielding an X error because
the counters have already been destroyed.
To avoid this, unhook the damage tracking before destroying
the surface.

We are setting mime data with a destroy notify on the cairo
surface to get notified when cairo registers damage for the
surface (in that case, it clears the mime data, calling the
destroy notify). Unfortunately, the destroy notify is also
called when we remove the mime data ourselves, which was
not intentional.
Use a flag in the window impl struct to ignore the callback
when we are clearing the hook.
XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap() will throw BadMatch only in the case of a
different parent window depth. Different visuals are fine and actually
expected in Gtk+ 3.16 (since we don't stick to the system default visual
but try to pick a better one).

This is required for the X backend GL integration. If the
window has a height that is not a multiple of the window scale
we can't properly do the y coordinate flipping that GL needs.
Other backends can ignore this and use the default implementation.

Rather than just rounding down the position *and* the size separately
we correctly calculate a rectangle in scaled window coords that fully
covers the real window size. This really only makes a difference
when the window size/position isn't a multiple of the window scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739750
Keep track of the exact size of X windows in underlying pixels; we
generally use the scaled size instead, but to properly handle the GL
viewport for windows that aren't a multiple of window_scale,
we need to know the real size.

Commit afd9709aff made us keep impl window
cairo surfaces around across changes of window scale. But the
window scale setter forgot to update the size and scale of the
surface. The effect of this was that toggling the window scale
from 1 to 2 in the inspector was not causing the window to draw
at twice the size, although the X window was made twice as big,
and input was scaled too. Fix this by updating the surface when
the window scale changes.
We used to have a weak ref to the cairo surface and it was keep
alive by the references in the normal windows, but that reference
was removed by d48adf9cee, causing
us to constantly create and destroy the surface.

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.
