They require to get_proc_address some functions through the
platform specific {glX,egl}GetProcAddress rather than the default
GL library symbol lookup.
Otherwise we could end up being mistaken for the diference between a
gl3 and a gl2 context resulting in a failure getting the list of
extensions from the wrapped context due to the difference between
glGetString and glGetStringi for the GL_EXTENSIONS token.

Otherwise the pipeline stalls when running
more than one glimagesink with gst-launch.
Also only register the custom nsapp loop
when setting up the nsapp from gstgl.
This fix a very slow rendering rate regression that only
happens when using gst-launch, i.e. in the case where
the main thread does not run any NSApp loop.
Git bisect reported it has been introduced by the commit
e10d2417e2:
"move to CGL and CAOpenGLLayer for rendering".
Then the commit 7d46357627:
"gstglwindow_cocoa: fix slow render rate" attempted to fix
the slow rendering rate problem when using gst-launch.
At least for me it does not work. I tried several
combinations, for example to flush CA transactions in the
custom app loop, as mentioned in the doc, but the only solution
that fixes the slow rendering is by reducing the loop latency.
From what I tested, no need to put less than 60ms, even if the
framerate has an interval much lower (16.6ms for 60 fps).
In gst_gl_window_cocoa_draw we used to just call setNeedsDisplay:YES. That was
creating an implicit CA transaction which was getting committed at the next
runloop iteration. Since we don't know how often the main runloop is running,
and when we run it implicitly (from gst_gl_window_cocoa_nsapp_iteration) we only
do so every 200ms, use an explicit CA transaction instead and commit it
immediately. CA transactions nest and debounce automatically so this will never
result in extra work.
Depending on the platform, it was only ever implemented to 1) set a
default surface size, 2) resize based on the video frame or 3) nothing.
Instead, provide a set_preferred_size () that elements/applications
can use to request a certain size which may be ignored for
videooverlay/other cases.
Removes the use of NSOpenGL* variety and functions. Any Cocoa
specific functions that took/returned a NSOpenGL* object now
take/return the CGL equivalents.
The hack causes deadlocks and other interesting problems and it really
can only be fixed properly inside GLib. We will include a patch for
GLib in our builds for now that handles this, and hopefully at some
point GLib will also merge a proper solution.
A proper solution would first require to refactor the polling in
GMainContext to only provide a single fd, e.g. via epoll/kqueue
or a thread like the one added by our patch. Then this single
fd could be retrieved from the GMainContext and directly integrated
into a NSRunLoop.

Otherwise interesting things will happen in Cocoa applications, like
infinite event loops that block the NSApplication loop forever.
This was only needed for GNUStep and thus can safely be removed now.
Until gcc and GNUStep properly support Objective-C blocks and other
"new" features of Objective-C we can't properly support them without
making the code much more ugly.

Otherwise when resizing the window you will also get messages like:
class NSConcreteMapTable autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
class NSConcreteValue autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
class NSConcreteValue autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
class __NSCFDictionary autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
Need to set the ':' as the reshape method now takes one parameter.
For the story, the GstGLNSView was previously inheriting from
NSOpenGLView which has a reshape function without any parameter.
Now the GstGLNSView inherits from NSView and we re-use the reshape
function manually.
Use the reshape function after being defined. The other way
would have been to declare the reshape function in the header.

Using NSApp directly seems to confuse something, as the compiler
was expecting an id<NSFileManagerDelegate>. Switched to using
[NSApplication sharedApplication], and specified the delegate
protocol on the window class as well.

The visible rect and bounds might be the same as before, but Cocoa
might've changed our viewport without us nothing. This happens if
you hide the view and show it again.
