That way we can capture both the actual changes (clip region) and the
area that was redrawn (render region), which in OpenGL might not be
identical.
Nothing shows the render region yet though...
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%.
This way, we can query the GL context's state via
gdk_gl_context_is_drawing().
Use this function to make GL contexts as attached and grant them access
to the front/backbuffer for rendering.
All of this is still unused because GL drawing is still disabled.
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 is a temporary switch-off of the GL dawing code that will make
things keep running. All GL related code (like the GSK renderer or
GtkGLArea will now fall back to software.
Wayland subsurfaces can have other native window parents, but those need
to be destroyed along with the rest of the window hierarchy otherwise
an assert() is reached.

GtkListBox is not a windowed widget anymore so we can't use
gtk_widget_get_window. Just directly access priv->view_window instead to
get the right window.
For a menu mode CB with wrap_width == 0 and an active item, that item is
selected in gtk_combo_box_menu_popup. Selection causes the MenuShell to
activate and hence take a grab. This was done before the menu was popped
up. A patch distributed in Debian sid - after being proposed on our BZ -
revealed that on the 1st popup of any such ComboBox, within grab_add,
the MenuShell's toplevel's GdkWindow is NULL. This causes a Gdk-CRITICAL
assertion fail on the 1st time opening any such CB, on Debian and if
that patch were merged to GTK+. By selecting after popup, we ensure the
MenuShell is realised before its grab_add and so avoid the critical.

This way, we don't spam criticals when GL is not available. Instead, we
print a useful debug message to stderr and continue with the Cairo renderer.

and remove gsk_renderer_get_for_display().
This new function returns a realized renderer. Because of that, GSK can
catch failures to realize, destroy the renderer and try another one.
Or in short: I can finally use GTK on Weston with the nvidia binary
drivers again.

Instead of having a gsk_renderer_set_window() call, pass the window to
realize(). This way, the realization can fail with the wrong window.
