This new private API, _gtk_style_context_is_background_opaque(), is meant to
be used by internal Gtk+ wigets to optimize fast paths for cases where
applicable. One such use would be to use a CAIRO_CONTENT_COLOR surface
instead of CAIRO_CONTENT_COLOR_ALPHA.

We want to clear the style property cache whenever things change in the
tree, not as we previously did only when those changes actually lead to
a different CSS style.
Make _gtk_style_provider_private_get_color() return a GtkCssValue (a
GtkCssColorValue to be exact) instead of GtkSymbolicColor.
With this, the symbolic color usage inside GTK is minimized.
Here's the shortest description of the bug I can come up with:
When computing values, we have 3 kinds of dependencies:
(1) other properties ("currentColor" or em values)
(2) inherited properties ("inherit")
(3) generic things from the theme (@keyframes or @define-color)
Previously, we passed the GtkStyleContext as an argument, because it
provided these 3 things using:
(1) _gtk_style_context_peek_property()
(2) _gtk_style_context_peek_property(gtk_style_context_get_parent())
(3) context->priv->cascade
However, this makes it impossible to lookup values other than the ones
accessible via _gtk_style_context_peek_property(). And this is exactly
what we are doing in gtk_style_context_update_cache(). So when the cache
updates encountered case (1), they were looking up the values from the
wrong style data.
So this large patch essentially does nothing but replace the
context argument in all compute functions with new arguments for the 3
cases above:
(1) values
(2) parent_values
(3) provider
We apparently have a lot of computing code.
Deprecate public API where appropriate and make it no-ops.
Remove all calls to it.
Get rid of the 'transition' css property.
For now, this means spinners don't animate anymore.
... and actually set the widget on the style context. Note that this
function does not take a reference on the widget, which is a very good
reason to keep it private.
We now store the symbolic colors as a GtkCssValue which means that
we can reuse the color when resolving and storing the color in
the computed values in the style context.
Additionally we keep a last_resolved GtkCssValue cache in the
GtkSymbolicColor, and if resolving the color returns the same as
last time we reuse the old value. This further increases sharing
of Css Values.
Also, in places where we're computing a new CssValue based on an
old one, make sure that if nothing changes we're returning a reference
to the old one, rather than creating a new identical instance.
At the toplevel we have _gtk_theming_engine_get, which lets us pass
in a property context with (atm) the size to get the property for.
Then there is a lot of plumbing to push this down into the lower
layers of the style property code until finally hitting
the property resolvers.
I need this because I will be adding a property resolver for win32
theme parts, and they render differently depending on the size
(i.e. they don't scale linearly). The idea is that the code
to get the background properties will pass in the final size
and we will resolve the theme part specification to that particular
size.
If the old non-context calls are used we just hardcode a size
of 100x100.
