Typically, there won't be any references on old frame timings except for
the most recent timing. So instead of discarding these and re-entering
gslice twice, just steal the old frame timing and reuse it.

These were showing up higher in Sysprof profiles.
The simple fix is to avoid the emit_by_name() and let the interface emit
the signals directly. No function preconditions are provided since these
are internal API.
Add an API to start or stop continually updating the frame clock.
This is a slight convenience for applcations and avoids the problem
of getting one more frame run after an animation stops, but the
primary motivation for this is because it looks like we might have
to use timeBeginPeriod()/timeEndPeriod() on Windows to get reasonably
accurate timing, and for that we'll need to know if there is an
animation running.

* remove gdk_frame_clock_get_frame_time_val(); a convenience
function that would rarely be used.
* remove gdk_frame_clock_get_requested() and
::frame-requested signal; while we might want to eventually
be able to track the requested phases for a clock, we don't
have a current use case.
* Make gdk_frame_clock_freeze/thaw() private: they are only
used within GTK+ and have complex semantics.
* Remove gdk_frame_clock_get_last_complete(). Another convenience
function that I don't have a current use case for.
* Rename:
gdk_frame_clock_get_start() => gdk_frame_clock_get_history_start()
gdk_frame_clocK_get_current_frame_timings() => gdk_frame_clock_get_timings()
Since we're not exporting the ability to create your own frame
clock for now, remove the setters for GdkFrameTimings fields.
Also remove all setters and getters for fields that are more
about implementation than about quantities that are meaningful
to the applcation and just access the fields directly within
GDK.
Now that GdkFrameClock is a class, not interface, there's no real advantage
to splitting the frame history into an aggregate object, so directly
merge it into GdkFrameClock.
It's unlikely that anyone will want to have, say, a GtkWidget that
also acts as a GdkFrameClock, so an abstract base class is as
flexible as making GdkFrameClock an interface, but has advantages:
- If we decide to never make implementing your own frame clock
possible, we can remove the virtualization.
- We can put functionality like history into the base class.
- Avoids the oddity of a interface without a public interface
VTable, which may cause problems for language bindings.
