1288860 - Use CompositorWidget instead of nsIWidget in GLContextProvider

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Ryan Hunt [:rhunt] (on leave until early May)]

Update the GLContextProvider interface to take a CompositorWidget instead of nsIWidget. For now they will just use widget->RealWidget(), but eventually they can be updated to support out of process compositing on a per platform basis.

This allows OGLCompositor to remove its dependency on RealWidget().

Attachment: Add a CreateForCompositorWidget to GLContextProvider.

There are other dependencies on CreateForWindow besides Compositors, and so instead I've added a CreateForCompositorWidget method to GLContextProvider. Currently this just dispatchs to CreateForWindow, and uses RealWidget() on all platforms. But this will allow us to remove dependencies on RealWidget() for some platforms, such as when we use X11 and GLX.
