This reduces state changes when we draw 9patches and text together,
which happens *a lot*. Also disable the NV profiling extension by
default since it doesn't play nice with display lists deferrals.
To enable it set debug.hwui.nv_profiling to true.

When the Android runtime starts, the system preloads a series of assets
in the Zygote process. These assets are shared across all processes.
Unfortunately, each one of these assets is later uploaded in its own
OpenGL texture, once per process. This wastes memory and generates
unnecessary OpenGL state changes.
This CL introduces an asset server that provides an atlas to all processes.
Note: bitmaps used by skia shaders are *not* sampled from the atlas.
It's an uncommon use case and would require extra texture transforms
in the GL shaders.
WHAT IS THE ASSETS ATLAS
The "assets atlas" is a single, shareable graphic buffer that contains
all the system's preloaded bitmap drawables (this includes 9-patches.)
The atlas is made of two distinct objects: the graphic buffer that
contains the actual pixels and the map which indicates where each
preloaded bitmap can be found in the atlas (essentially a pair of
x and y coordinates.)
HOW IS THE ASSETS ATLAS GENERATED
Because we need to support a wide variety of devices and because it
is easy to change the list of preloaded drawables, the atlas is
generated at runtime, during the startup phase of the system process.
There are several steps that lead to the atlas generation:
1. If the device is booting for the first time, or if the device was
updated, we need to find the best atlas configuration. To do so,
the atlas service tries a number of width, height and algorithm
variations that allows us to pack as many assets as possible while
using as little memory as possible. Once a best configuration is found,
it gets written to disk in /data/system/framework_atlas
2. Given a best configuration (algorithm variant, dimensions and
number of bitmaps that can be packed in the atlas), the atlas service
packs all the preloaded bitmaps into a single graphic buffer object.
3. The packing is done using Skia in a temporary native bitmap. The
Skia bitmap is then copied into the graphic buffer using OpenGL ES
to benefit from texture swizzling.
HOW PROCESSES USE THE ATLAS
Whenever a process' hardware renderer initializes its EGL context,
it queries the atlas service for the graphic buffer and the map.
It is important to remember that both the context and the map will
be valid for the lifetime of the hardware renderer (if the system
process goes down, all apps get killed as well.)
Every time the hardware renderer needs to render a bitmap, it first
checks whether the bitmap can be found in the assets atlas. When
the bitmap is part of the atlas, texture coordinates are remapped
appropriately before rendering.

PBOs (Pixel Buffer Objects) can be used on OpenGL ES 3.0 to perform
asynchronous texture uploads to free up the CPU. This change does not
enable the use of PBOs unless a specific property is set (Adreno drivers
have issues with PBOs at the moment, Mali drivers work just fine.)
This change also cleans up Font/FontRenderer a little bit and improves
performance of drop shadows generations by using memcpy() instead of
a manual byte-by-byte copy.
On GL ES 2.0 devices, or when PBOs are disabled, a PixelBuffer instance
behaves like a simple byte array. The extra APIs introduced for PBOs
(map/unmap and bind/unbind) are pretty much no-ops for CPU pixel
buffers and won't introduce any significant overhead.
This change also fixes a bug with text drop shadows: if the drop
shadow is larger than the max texture size, the renderer would leave
the GL context in a bad state and generate 0x501 errors. This change
simply skips drop shadows if they are too large.

- "region", shows the non-rectangular clip region in blue every time
it is used
- "hide", default value, nothing is shown

The reordering enables similar operations to draw together, minimizing the
OpenGL state change operations that go inbetween draws. Eventually, multiple
complete canvas draw operations will be merged (into a single glDrawArrays call,
for example)
Reorders DisplayList draw operations when:
-They can move backwards in the command stream to be after similar
operations without violating draw ordering
-The OpenGLRenderer is in a simple, replayable state (no complex clip,
or filter/shadow etc)
Also adds two system properties to control the deferral/reordering:
"debug.hwui.disable_draw_defer"
"debug.hwui.disable_draw_reorder"
which can be set to "true" to control the display list manipulation

When scissor optimization is enabled, OpenGLRenderer will attempt to
minimize the use of scissor by selectively enabling and disabling the
GL scissor test.
When the optimization is disabled, OpenGLRenderer will keep the GL
scissor test enabled and change the scissor rect as needed.
Some GPUs (for instance the SGX 540) perform better when changing
the scissor rect often than when enabling/disabling the scissor test
often.

Bug #3515248
The problem is caused by the fast path when compositing layers on screen.
The fast path draws a single quad using glDrawArrays() whereas the general
path draws an arbitrary mesh using glDrawElements(). It looks like there's
an issue in the driver since glDrawArrays() is significantly slower than
glDrawElements() for a quad (6 vertices!)
This change just gets rid of the fast path.
