Chris Jones 8c1774d31e Bug 804852: Support for the hwc implementation of Composer2D. r=mattwoodrow,mwu,roc sr=roc
This is a rollup of the following patches

part 0: Add a dynamic cast to ColorLayer*

part 1: Add a Composer2D interface to enable implementations to more efficiently compose layer trees

part 2: Let widgets expose Composer2Ds, if they have them

part 3: Expose a layers ogl "friend" API that Composer2D will consume

part 4: Hook Composer2D into the LayerManagerOGL rendering pipeline

part 5: Implement all the goop to let widget/gonk use a Composer2D (HwcComposer2D)

/**
* Many platforms have dedicated hardware for simple composition.
* This hardware is usually faster or more power efficient than the
* GPU. However, in exchange for this better performance, generality
* has to be sacrificed: no 3d transforms, no intermediate surfaces,
* no special shader effects, loss of other goodies depending on the
* platform.
*
* Composer2D is a very simple interface to this class of hardware
* that allows an implementation to "try rendering" with the fast
* path. If the given layer tree requires more generality than the
* hardware provides, the implementation should bail and have the
* layer manager fall back on full GPU composition.
