Summary:
Eolian adds a per-class BETA guard (like EFL_UI_WIN_BETA) to any method tagged
as @beta. This means that any app (and the EFL code) wanting to use BETA features
has to enable them class by class, which is cumbersome.
This commit replaces the individual guards with the global EFL_BETA_API_SUPPORT
guard, so apps only need to define one symbol to access BETA features.
Any usage of the per-class guards has been removed from the EFL code and examples.
When building EFL the global guard is defined by configure, so all EFL methods
already have access to BETA API.
Efl_Core.h and Efl_Ui.h no longer define EFL_BETA_API_SUPPORT. Apps wanting to
use BETA API have to define this symbol before including any EFL header
(It has been added to the examples requiring it).
Test Plan:
make && make check && make examples still work, but there's a lot less #defines
in the code

This reverts commit 2fb5cc3ad0.
Most of this change where wrong as they didn't affect the destruction
of the object. efl_add_ref allow for manual handling of the lifecycle
of the object and make sure it is still alive during destructor. efl_add
will not allow you to access an object after invalidate also efl.parent.get
will always return NULL once the object is invalidated.

Working directly with Eina_Slice is easier than a pointer to it,
requires no validation of the pointers and is cheap since it's just
putting together size_t + void*.
However we can't hint the user of 'const(Eina.Slice)' properties as
Eolian is incorrectly generating getters as:
const Eina_Slice class_property_get(...)
which is makes compilers complain about ignored qualifiers:
../src/lib/ecore/efl_io_copier.eo.h:329:7: warning: 'const' type qualifier on return type has no effect [-Wignored-qualifiers]
Leave some TODO so @q66 can fix those.
Previously we couldn't return a slice, instead required the user to
pass a slice and we'd fill it since Eolian couldn't generate fallbacks
for structures.
Since @q66 fixed eolian, we can now return the structure itself as
initially wanted, ditching some TODO from the code.
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.
@feature
The use of low-level interfaces such as Efl.Io.Reader and
Efl.Io.Writer are not that user-friendly as they can handle partial
data.
Classes such as Efl.Io.Copier makes them easy to use, but they need a
reader (source) or writer (destination) and in our examples we used
fixed buffers or some existing streams (stdin/stdout/stderr,
networking...).
However, if interactively we need to produce some data to be sent,
such as implementing some networking protocols, we'd have to write our
own Efl.Io.Reader and Efl.Io.Writer classes to handle the buffering.
Not anymore! With Efl.Io.Queue you can write stuff to it and it will
buffer to memory. Once stuff is read, it will automatically remove
those bytes from buffer.
