Robert Bragg df21e20f65 Adds CoglError api
Although we use GLib internally in Cogl we would rather not leak GLib
api through Cogl's own api, except through explicitly namespaced
cogl_glib_ / cogl_gtype_ feature apis.

One of the benefits we see to not leaking GLib through Cogl's public API
is that documentation for Cogl won't need to first introduce the Glib
API to newcomers, thus hopefully lowering the barrier to learning Cogl.

This patch provides a Cogl specific typedef for reporting runtime errors
which by no coincidence matches the typedef for GError exactly.  If Cogl
is built with --enable-glib (default) then developers can even safely
assume that a CoglError is a GError under the hood.

This patch also enforces a consistent policy for when NULL is passed as
an error argument and an error is thrown. In this case we log the error
and abort the application, instead of silently ignoring it. In common
cases where nothing has been implemented to handle a particular error
and/or where applications are just printing the error and aborting
themselves then this saves some typing. This also seems more consistent
with language based exceptions which usually cause a program to abort if
they are not explicitly caught (which passing a non-NULL error signifies
in this case)

Since this policy for NULL error pointers is stricter than the standard
GError convention, there is a clear note in the documentation to warn
developers that are used to using the GError api.

(cherry picked from commit b068d5ea09ab32c37e8c965fc8582c85d1b2db46)

Note: Since we can't change the Cogl 1.x api the patch was changed to
not rename _error_quark() functions to be _error_domain() functions and
although it's a bit ugly, instead of providing our own CoglError type
that's compatible with GError we simply #define CoglError to GError
unless Cogl is built with glib disabled.

Note: this patch does technically introduce an API break since it drops
the cogl_error_get_type() symbol generated by glib-mkenum (Since the
CoglError enum was replaced by a CoglSystemError enum) but for now we
are assuming that this will not affect anyone currently using the Cogl
API. If this does turn out to be a problem in practice then we would be
able to fix this my manually copying an implementation of
cogl_error_get_type() generated by glib-mkenum into a compatibility
source file and we could also define the original COGL_ERROR_ enums for
compatibility too.

Note: another minor concern with cherry-picking this patch to the 1.14
branch is that an api scanner would be lead to believe that some APIs
have changed, and for example the gobject-introspection parser which
understands the semantics of GError will not understand the semantics of
CoglError. We expect most people that have tried to use
gobject-introspection with Cogl already understand though that it is not
well suited to generating bindings of the Cogl api anyway and we aren't
aware or anyone depending on such bindings for apis involving GErrors.
(GnomeShell only makes very-very minimal use of Cogl via the gjs
bindings for the cogl_rectangle and cogl_color apis.)

The main reason we have cherry-picked this patch to the 1.14 branch
even given the above concerns is that without it it would become very
awkward for us to cherry-pick other beneficial patches from master.

/**
* SECTION:cogl-texture-2d-sliced
* @short_description: Functions for creating and manipulating 2D meta
* textures that may internally be comprised of
* multiple 2D textures with power-of-two sizes.
*
* These functions allow high-level meta textures (See the
* #CoglMetaTexture interface) to be allocated that may internally be
* comprised of multiple 2D texture "slices" with power-of-two sizes.
*
* This API can be useful when working with GPUs that don't have
* native support for non-power-of-two textures or if you want to load
* a texture that is larger than the GPUs maximum texture size limits.
*
* The algorithm for slicing works by first trying to map a virtual
* size to the next larger power-of-two size and then seeing how many
* wasted pixels that would result in. For example if you have a
* virtual texture that's 259 texels wide, the next pot size = 512 and
* the amount of waste would be 253 texels. If the amount of waste is
* above a max-waste threshold then we would next slice that texture
* into one that's 256 texels and then looking at how many more texels
* remain unallocated after that we choose the next power-of-two size.
* For the example of a 259 texel image that would mean having a 256
* texel wide texture, leaving 3 texels unallocated so we'd then
* create a 4 texel wide texture - now there is only one texel of
* waste. The algorithm continues to slice the right most textures
* until the amount of waste is less than or equal to a specfied
* max-waste threshold. The same logic for slicing from left to right
* is also applied from top to bottom.
