Using version 1.20 with a forward compatible 3.2 core context is incorrect
since OpenGL 3.2 deprecates shader version 1.20 (See section E.2). The latest
fglrx drivers will not compile these shaders.

- Specifically request GL version when creating context. Just specifying core
profile bit results in the requested version defaulting to 1.0 which causes
the core profile bit to be ignored and an arbitrary compatability context to be
returned.
- Fix GL painting by removing GL calls that have been depricated by the 3.2 core
profile.
- Additionally remove glInvalidateFramebuffer() call, it is not supported by 3.2
core.

As the alignments, strides and image formats may be different across
platforms, make the texture upload a vfunc to allow backends to override
the GL commands for uploading textures for the software implementation for
gdk_gl_texture_from_surface(), if necessary.
Suggested by Alex to avoid copying non-trivial portions of code which would
then add maintainenace burden.

We can't combine multiple draws into one for the software fallback,
because each quad has a different texture. And we generally don't
want to make a larger single texture because then we would have
to upload more data.
NULL-plus-something could be seen by the compiler to attempt to do
arithmetic with void *, which is a GCCism. Instead, do the math normally
and cast the results as a void *.

This requires us to use GL_TRIANGLES and six verts per quad instead
of four, which makes me think it might not be worth it on
well-optimized GL drivers. However, from talking to some driver
developers about it, the GL_TRIANGLES should be faster, since this
means that there's one giant contiguous buffer instead of many small
buffers.
If we were really rendering a lot of quads, I'd use an element buffer
and GL_PRIMITIVE_RESTART, but we're really not ever rendering that
many quads, and the setup cost for that would just be too annoying.
This is needed in the edge case where the X11 backend rounded the actual
size, and the GL flipping really needs the correct window height to
do proper Y coordinate flipping.

This moves the GDK_ALWAYS_USE_GL env var to GDK_GL=always.
It also changes GDK_DEBUG=nogl to GDK_GL=disable, as GDK_DEBUG
is really only about debug loggin.
It also adds some completely new flags:
software-draw-gl:
Always use software fallback for drawing gl content to a cairo_t.
This disables the fastpaths that exist for drawing directly to
a window and instead reads back the pixels into a cairo image
surface.
software-draw-surface:
Always use software fallback for drawing cairo surfaces onto a
gl-using window. This disables e.g. texture-from-pixmap on X11.
software-draw:
Enables both the above.
This was unnecessarily creating a framebuffer in the texture case,
and it was not properly setting up a framebuffer with the texture
as source in the software fallback w/ texture source case.
Its not really reasonable to handle failures to make_current, it
basically only happens if you pass invalid arguments to it, and
thats not something we trap on similar things on the X drawing side.
If GL is not supported that should be handled by the context creation
failing, and anything going wrong after that is essentially a critical
(or an async X error).
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.
