This implements different blend modes in the SoftwareRasterizer by
first setting up the blend factors then rendering the pixels into a
temporary buffer and finally mixing the contents of the temporary buffer
with the contents of the backbuffer based on the blend factors.
Matrix4x4 was defined as a derived class of Matrix<N,T> before.
Furthermore, some code was duplicated and it was overall just messy.
This commit turns Matrix4x4 into a simple alias for Matrix<4,T>.
Matrix elements were interpreted in different ways.
This makes it definitely row-major, allowing initialization via
initializer list in a standard scientific order. Also matrix
multiplication now happens in the correct order and accessing
elements happens as m_elements[row][column].
This untangles several concepts in the rasterizer and makes it possible
to toggle different stages on a per-block level rather than having to
check whether the feature is enabled for every pixel.
This makes the software rasterizer use integers for triangle coverage
calculations. The previously used floating point algorithm was not
precise enough in certain situations and showed gaps between triangles.
This is not yet subpixel accurate.
This commit implements glGenLists(), glNewList(), glDeleteLists(), and
glCallList().
The 'compiled' records are implemented as a vector of member function
pointers and tuples containing their arguments, and a mechanism is
implemented to allow the recorded calls to copy-capture values from the
time of the call; this is currently only used with glLoadMatrix.
Tests against and writes to the depth buffer when GL_DEPTH_TEST is
enabled via glEnable(). Currently fragment z is always compared against
existing depth with GL_LESS.
This code has also been optimised to be much more memory
friendly by removing a _lot_ of extraneous copies. The result
is that, when profiled, it's around 8x faster than the previous
implementation.

This is based mostly on Fabian "ryg" Giesen's 2011 blog series
"A trip through the Graphics Pipeline" and Scratchapixel's
"Rasterization: a Practical Implementation".
The rasterizer processes triangles in grid aligned 16x16 pixel blocks,
calculates barycentric coordinates and edge derivatives and interpolates
bilinearly across each block.
This will theoretically allow for better utilization of modern processor
features such as SMT and SIMD, as opposed to a classic scanline based
triangle rasterizer.
This serves as a starting point to get something on the screen.
In the future we might look into properly pipelining the main loop to
make the rasterizer more flexible, enabling us to enable/disable
certain features at the block rather than the pixel level.
According to the OpenGL 2.x spec, some calls will set the current
global error to `GL_INVALID_OPERATION` if they are used during
a `glBegin`/`glEnd` block.
This implements `glGetError` and correctly sets the state machine's
error macro (similar to LibC `errno`) when an invalid operation is
performed. This is reset on completion of a successful operation.
This currently (obviously) doesn't support any actual 3D hardware,
hence all calls are done via software rendering.
Note that any modern constructs such as shaders are unsupported,
as this driver only implements Fixed Function Pipeline functionality.
The library is split into a base GLContext interface and a software
based renderer implementation of said interface. The global glXXX
functions serve as an OpenGL compatible c-style interface to the
currently bound context instance.
