This has been a long standing plan for improving performance in rendering
vector object. If your test involve updating gradient, you will get another
speedup of around 15%. Combined with previous shape, we get a 65% improvement
with doing the CPU intensive computation in there own thread before the
rendering kickoff. This was motly theorical until now, but well, it works
great !

10 to 35% when rendering vector based object.
We are still maintaining the Cairo backend as the default one at the moment
due to a lack of result comparison tests between the two engine. Hopefully
we should get that covered and we can all enjoy a backend that is 4 times
faster by default.
min value bitshifts are negative and thus not portable. just tax max
(as its 1 more than min it if we do -max) as the limit as its within
range. this should fix it

Honestly I can't see why gfx & gfx.path "changed" need a manual
definition, instead of relying on EO. If the API needs to be
internal only, then EO needs to handle internal APIs. In this
case, the event was exposed as a C API but not a EO... why?
Alright, so this is a massive patch that is the result of
trying to get rid of unused or poorly implemented classes in
ector. Originally ector was meant to support VG but extend to
things like filters as well. At the moment, ector's design
makes it quite hard to plug in the filters.
For now I think it's easier to implement the GL support for
the filters directly in the engine, where I hope to interfere
as little as possible.
This massive patch keeps only the required minimum to support
a versatile gl buffer that can be mapped, drawn or rendered to (FBO).
It's extremely inefficient as it relies on glReadPixels and lots
of texture uploads, as well as conversions between ARGB and Alpha.
Another type of GL buffer is a wrap around an existing GL image,
but that one is read-only (map or draw: no write map, no FBO).
No, all the filters run fine, and the high-level implementation
(evas_filters.c) does not need to know whether the underlying engine
is SW or GL. One problem though appears with the blending or blurring
of some Alpha buffers, the colors are wrong.
This patch removes more lines than it adds so it must be good ;)
It has been discussed on the ML (thread: "[RFC] rename efl_self") and
IRC, and has been decided we should rename it to this in order to avoid
confusion with the already established meaning of self which is very
similar to what we were using it for, but didn't have complete overlap.
Kudos to Marcel Hollerbach for initiating the discussion and
fighting for it until he convinced a significant mass. :)
This commit breaks API, and depending on compiler potentially ABI.

Efl.Object.event_callback_call no longer calls legacy smart callbacks;
calling only event callbacks registered with the given event description
pointer.
Create the method Efl.Object.event_callback_legacy_call to inherit the old
behavior from Efl.Object.event_callback_call, calling both Efl.Object events
and legacy smart callbacks.
Update all other files accordingly in order to still supply legacy
callbacks while they are necessary.
Complex types (i.e. list, array, hash, accessor etc.) now do not require
pointers with them anymore (the pointer is implied) and the same goes for
class handles. Eolian now explicitly disallows creating pointers to these
as well. This is the first part of the work to remove pointers from Eolian
completely, with the goal of simplifying the DSL (higher level) and therefore
making it easier for bindings (as well as easier API usage).

I just ran my script (email to follow) to migrate all of the EFL
automatically. This commit is *only* the automatic conversion, so it can
be easily reverted and re-run.
This indicates that a buffer can be used as a source to draw pixels.
Can't they all do that? Well, not exactly. A CPU buffer can't be drawn
by the GPU... not directly at least. That's what this flag is for.
In case you map a buffer once for read-only and once for write,
we can generate a temporary copy and return that instead. This
buffer will be copied back to the original surface once the COW
surface is unmapped.
Also use map to generate spans.
This should simplify some filters code, making things work,
albeit inefficiently. At least they should work.
Fix doc too.
Since Evas still relies entirely on Image_Entry and Evas_GL_Image,
we will need an engine-specific wrapper object creating a Buffer
around an existing cached image.
Currently only SW support is implemented. GL will be more fun to
do (with glReadPixels and whatnot).
It just makes things a bit more complicated and doesn't correspond
to a classic "map" operation anyways.
Also return void* instead of uint8_t*. This is more correct and
avoid extra casts.
This fixes the build for Windows. Thanks @vtorri for the report.
I'm not using "unsigned int" as uint was mostly used like DATA32,
ie. color data (one pixel color or a pixel buffer).
