We don't want to be responsible for duplicating the effort of the hash
table, we just want to speed up subsequent lookups. Otherwise, we risk
not marking glyph usage when tracking usage for compaction.
This required finishing up the begin_frame/end_frame semantics for
GskNglTextureLibraryw which was apparently overlooked.
The driver was changed to provide more information to the library when
beginning frames. We do not need to use end_frame so that was removed.
The frame age is the same as GL (60) but I do wonder if that is based
on seconds if we should be using something longer for situations where
we have higher frame rates.

If cairo is a subproject, it's not necessarily installed when gtk
is built. In the build tree, libcairo-script-interpreter is not stored
in the same directory as other cairo libraries.
Recognize a common pattern: A rounded clip with
a color node, followed by a border node, with the
same outline. This is what CSS backgrounds frequently
produce, and we can render it more efficiently with
a combined shader.
Now that colors aren't uniforms anymore, we don't
win much by using the inset_shadow shader. The fragment
shaders of inset_shadow and border are identical. And
the regular border setup does nine-slicing.
Colors are not state that we carry across draw ops,
so setting the color on the render job doesn't make
much sense. Instead, pass the color to the various
draw calls. Add a few new ones for that purpose.
Also, shorten the names of some by going from
'load_vertices_from_offscreen' to 'draw_offscreen'.
This reduces how many changes we make when recording uniform state, which
increases the chances that the data offset will be the same when applying
uniforms.
Since we make full snapshots when recording uniform state of batches, we
need to perform some deduplication to avoid so many repeated uniform calls.
This uses a closed hashtable to determine if we are likely changing the
value to something new.
This does not currently compare values, it instead only compares that we
are going to point at a new offset into the uniform buffer. We could go
further if we compare upon updating values (we did that early on in the
prototype) so that offsets are less likely to be changed.
When the color passed is transparent black, use
the color from the texture as source, instead of
as mask. This lets use use the coloring program
both for regular and color glyphs, avoiding
program changes in text with Emoji.
Instead of using uniforms for color used in multiple
programs, pass it as vertex attributes. This will let
us batch more draw calls, since we don't have to change
uniforms so often. In particular, for syntax-highlighted
text.
We may want to change the interface between the
shaders and the renderer for ngl, and therefore,
sharing the shaders between gl and ngl will not
be practical, going forward.
