Laszlo Agocs 611558d877 Modernize the OpenGL examples
Change them to use QOpenGLWidget and QOpenGLTexture.
Advocate also the usage of VBOs.

Hopeless examples, that rely on the fixed pipeline and will
not compile or work in ES and dynamic builds, are moved to
a "legacy" directory. The documentation pages for these are
removed. This long due change avoids the confusion newcomers
experience when trying to get started with Qt 5 and OpenGL.

hellowindow's behavior is changed to open a single window only
by default. The old default behavior, that opened three windows
on platforms that supported both MultipleWindows & ThreadedOpenGL,
can be requested by passing --multiple. --single is removed since it
is the default now. This plays much nicer with drivers that have
issues with threading.

In addition, say hello to hellogl2.

This is the old hellogl example updated to use QOpenGLWidget and
OpenGL 2. It also has a mainwindow with multiple (un)dockable widgets
containing the OpenGL widgets. This helps testing the behavior when
the top-level of the QOpenGLWidget changes and provides a very
important example of how to do proper resource management in this case.
(must use aboutToBeDestroyed() of the context, since the context goes
away and is replaced by a new one on every dock/undock)

As a bonus, the logo is now real 3D, no more orthographic nonsense.

Launch with --multisample to request 4x MSAA.

Launch with --coreprofile to request 3.2 Core. In this particular example
the shaders are present in both versions and there is a VAO so the application
is functional with core profile contexts.

Qt provides support for integration with OpenGL implementations on all
platforms, giving developers the opportunity to display hardware accelerated
3D graphics alongside a more conventional user interface.

These examples demonstrate the basic techniques used to take advantage of
OpenGL in Qt applications.


Documentation for these examples can be found via the Examples
link in the main Qt documentation.
