Subject: [PATCH] Add support for quad-buffer stereo

Track the stereo status of windows using the new EXT_stereo_tree

GLX extension.

When stereo is enabled or disabled, a restart is triggered via

meta_restart() after a timeout, setting a _META_ENABLE_STEREO

property on the root window to indicate whether we should

turn on a stereo stage for clutter. The property avoids a loop,

since we need to enable stereo *before* initializing Clutter and GL,

but we need GL to figure out whether we have stereo windows.

Stereo windows are drawn to the stage using new functionality

in Cogl to setup a stereo context, select which buffer to draw

to, and draw either the left or right buffer of a stereo

texture_from_pixmap.
