Instead of defining CLUTTER_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API and
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API in individual source files, enable
them on the command line. We weren't tracking exactly what pieces of
experimental API we were using and we were using the experimental
API in most source files that used Clutter and Cogl, so the
local #defines were annoying rather than useful.

Using ClutterEffect is not pratical on MetaBackgroundActor, as the FBO
redirection has a noticeable performance impact. Instead, allow adding
GLSL code directly to the pipeline used to draw the background texture.
At the same time, port MetaBackgroundActor to modern Cogl API.

The experimental Cogl api cogl_texture_pixmap_new() was recently changed
so it now expects an explicit CoglContext argument and it can also
return exceptions now via a GError. This patch updates mutters use of
the api accordingly.
This was preventing Clutter from running its dispose, preventing
it from being destroyed correctly. While a major bug and possibly
big memory leak, the most obvious effect was the message that Clutter
spat out:
Clutter-CRITICAL **: clutter_actor_iter_next: assertion `ri->age == ri->root->priv->age' failed
Since we never disposed the actor correctly, it was never removed
from its parent, and the age wasn't updated correctly.
Instead of requiring a singleton MetaBackgroundActor for the screen,
allow creating multiple copies that internally share a single
CoglTexture behind the scenes. This will be useful for allowing
multiple views of the screen background with different rendering
options.

When there was no root background pixmap, we were using a 1x1 repeating
texture as a simple way of drawing a solid color without adding a
second code path. However, when that 1x1 texture was combined into
a larger "atlas texture", hardware repeat couldn't be used, so a
small inefficiency from this approach became an enormous inefficiency
as clutter drew every pixel of the background as a separate rectangle.

If mutter is going to be a "real" library, then it should install its
includes so that users can do
#include <meta/display.h>
rather than
#include <display.h>
So rename the includedir accordingly, move src/include to src/meta,
and fix up all internal references.
There were a handful of header files in src/include that were not
installed; this appears to have been part of a plan to keep core/,
ui/, and compositor/ from looking at each others' private includes,
but that wasn't really working anyway. So move all non-installed
headers back into core/ or ui/.

Since we aren't depending on Clutter 1.5 or using the new
CoglPipeline name elsewhere, we need to stick to the old
COGL_MATERIAL_WRAP_MODE_* names, which are provided with
compatibility defines in Clutter 1.4.

If we have repeats on for a full-sized image, then if the background
is displayed scaled (for example, in a desktop preview mode) then we
can get artifacts along the edge of the background where the repeat
of the opposite edge is blended in by bilinear scaling. So turn off
repeats when the screen and background image sizes match.

Add code to track and draw the root window background. The advantage of doing
it here as compared to in a plugin is that we can use the visiblity smarts
of MetaWindowGroup to optimize out drawing the background when obscured.
If handling other than tracking the _XROOTPMAP_ID property is desired in the
future, more functionality like setting the background from a file or doing
cross-fades can be added.
The new background actor is exposed to plugins via meta_plugin_get_background_actor()
similar to other exposed actors to allow cloning the background for use in
other displays. The actual class is not installed for public consumption at
the moment since it has no useful methods.
