The coding style has for a long time said to avoid using redundant glib
data types such as gint or gchar etc because we feel that they make the
code look unnecessarily foreign to developers coming from outside of the
Gnome developer community.
Note: When we tried to find the historical rationale for the types we
just found that they were apparently only added for consistent syntax
highlighting which didn't seem that compelling.
Up until now we have been continuing to use some of the platform
specific type such as gint{8,16,32,64} and gsize but this patch switches
us over to using the standard c99 equivalents instead so we can further
ensure that our code looks familiar to the widest range of C developers
who might potentially contribute to Cogl.
So instead of using the gint{8,16,32,64} and guint{8,16,32,64} types this
switches all Cogl code to instead use the int{8,16,32,64}_t and
uint{8,16,32,64}_t c99 types instead.
Instead of gsize we now use size_t
For now we are not going to use the c99 _Bool type and instead we have
introduced a new CoglBool type to use instead of gboolean.

The cogl.h header is meant to be the public header for including the 1.x
api used by Clutter so we should stop using that as a convenient way to
include all likely prototypes and typedefs. Actually we already do a
good job of listing the specific headers we depend on in each of the .c
files we have so mostly this patch just strip out the redundant
includes for cogl.h with a few fixups where that broke the build.

Previously, _cogl_get_proc_address had a fallback to resolve the
symbol using g_module_open(NULL) to get the symbol from anywhere in
the address space. The EGL backend ends up using this on some drivers
because eglGetProcAddress isn't meant to return a pointer for core
functions. This causes problems if something in the process is linking
against a different GL library, for example Cairo may be linking
against libGL itself. In this case it may end up resolving symbols
from the GL library even if GLES is being used.
This patch removes the fallback. The EGL version now has its own
fallback instead which passes the existing libgl_module from the
renderer to g_module_symbol so that it should only get symbols from
that library or its dependency chain. The GLX and WGL winsys only call
glXGetProcAddress and wglGetProcAddress. The stub winsys does however
continue using the global symbol lookup.
The internal _cogl_get_proc_address function has been renamed to
_cogl_renderer_get_proc_address because it needs a connected renderer
to work so it could be considered to be a renderer method. The pointer
to the renderer is passed down to the winsys backends so that it can
use the data attached to the renderer to get the module pointers.

The code for _cogl_winsys_has_feature will be identical in all of the
winsys backends for the time being, so it seems to make sense to have
it in the common cogl-winsys.c file.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
