As in the previous commit explained, we want to get rid of class
functions in eo, and make them just c functions right away.
This commit removes the class parameter from the eo_class_function_set
call, and adjusts the tests to not depend on class functions anymore.
Class functions are now not tested anymore, tests that used them as a
way to test *things* are adjusted to test them now with object
functions, tests that just tested the working of class functions are
dropped.
This fixes T7675.

Until this commit eo did class functions as part of the vtable, which
enabled those functions to be overwritten in classes inheriting another
class. However in task T7675 we decided that this is not really good for
bindings, as most OOP languages do not support this sort of feature.
After this commit eolian realizes class function completly outside of
the vtable, the c-symbol that is the class funciton is now just directly
redirecting to a implementation, without the involvement of the vtable.
This also means a change to the syntax created by eo:
Calling before:
class_function(CLASS_A);
Calling after:
class_function();
Implementation before:
class_function(const Eo *obj, void *pd) { ... }
Implementation after:
class_function(void) { ... }
This fixes T7675.

The next commit will bring support for something like reflection. This
commit prepares the whole tree for getting another argument in
efl_class_functions_set.

This changes a lot of things all across the EFL. Previously,
methods tagged @const had both their external prototype and
internal impl generated with const on object, while property
getters only had const on the external API. This is now changed
and it all has const everywhere.
Ref T6859.
If you define either the macro MY_CLASS_EXTRA_OPS for normal
methods/properties or MY_CLASS_EXTRA_CLASS_OPS for class methods
or properties, which contains a comma-delimited list of ops defs
(i.e. EFL_OBJECT_OP_FUNC(...), ...) right before including the
generated my_class.eo.c file, the definitions from these will
be included in the actual class. This can be used to override
certain things in a class internally without exposing it to
Eolian, or for testing/debugging.
This change lets us remove a field from the structure that leads to
around 20KiB more of saving in private dirty pages in elementary.
This also looks a bit better and feels a bit cleaner.
Breaks API and ABI.
It's now possible to mark struct fields and function params as "references",
which causes them to become pointers in C (in bindings, they become whatever
is necessary). They're not a part of the type and are much more restricted
than pointers, allowing bindings to be easier. This system will be gradually
utilized and expanded as required.
@feature
Modify the way hooks are defined and used by promise generation in
Eolian in the Eo API.
Instead of passing macro names as parameters to EO_FUNC_BODY macros,
just re-define the actual hooks when it is needed.
Add two parameters for macros that generate API functions in Eo so
that the generation can be customized with macros used by Eolian.

As described by Carsten in his email to edev ML titled:
"[E-devel] eo stability - i think we need to postpone that"
with the switch to Eo2 we significantly increased our usage of RW memory
pages, and thus significantly increased our memory usage when running
multiple applications.
The problem was that during the migration to Eo2 the op id cache and the
op description arrays were merged, causing the op description arrays to
no longer be RO. This patch enables users of Eo (mainly Eolian) to
declare those arrays as const (RO) again, saving that memory.
There might be performance implications with this patch. I had to remove
the op desc array sorting, and I used a hash table for the lookup. I
think the op desc sorting doesn't really affect performance because that
array is seldom accessed and is usually pretty short. The hash table
is not a problem either, because it's behind the scenes, so it can be
changed to a more efficient data structure if the hash table is not good
enough. The hash table itself is also rarely accessed, so it's mostly
about memory.
Please keep an eye for any bugs, performance or excessive memory usage.
I believe this should be better on all fronts.
This commit *BREAKS ABI*.
@fix
This hasn't been used for a while. Since we are going to break Eo a bit anyway
it's a good opportunity to drop this.
This may cause a slight performance issues with legacy events, such as
smart callbacks. This shouldn't really be a problem as we've migrated away from
them. If it does, we need to migrate the remaining parts. Only relevant
for callbacks that are added before the classes are created, which
shouldn't be possible except for smart, only for old evas callbacks.
Local and base class functions are supported.
When @empty is provided, dummy functions (initializing the parameters with default
values if needed) are generated.
When @auto is provided on properties, access to internal data variables is done. On
set, it will assign parameters values to private data members. On get,
parameters are set with private data members values.
See the supplied tests as examples.
@feature
This is needed when get properties or methods have to return a
value in case of failure or to initialize parameters.
The way used is to generate an intermediate function that will
initialize the parameters and then invoke the "user" function.
