This change will break Darwin. I have only built and tested this on
desktop linux and Android linux. A follow-up CL will fix Darwin.
Currently, OpenGL gets its own thread, and UI C code (e.g. the Android
event loop, or the X11 event loop) gets its own thread. This relies on
multiple system-provided UI-related C libraries working nicely together,
even when running on different threads. Keeping all the C code on the
one thread seems more sound.
As side-effects:
- In package app/debug, DrawFPS now takes an explicit Config.
- In package app, some callbacks now take an explicit Config.
- In package exp/sprite, Render now takes an explicit Config.
- In package event, there are new events (Config, Draw, Lifecycle),
and an event filter mechanism to replace multiple app Callbacks.
- In package geom, the deprecated Width, Height and PixelsPerPt global
variables were removed in favor of an event.Config that is
explicitly passed around (and does not require mutex-locking).
Converting a geom.Pt to pixels now requires passing a pixelsPerPt.
- In package gl, the Do, Start and Stop functions are removed, as well
as the need to call Start in its own goroutine. There is no longer a
separate GL thread. Instead, package app explicitly performs any GL
work (gl.DoWork) when some is available (gl.WorkAvailable).
- In package gl/glutil, Image.Draw now takes an explicit Config.
Callbacks are no longer executed on 'the UI thread'.
Changing the app programming model from callbacks to events (since a
channel of events works with select) will be a follow-up change.

Config provides a way to concurrently access Width and Height.
Register provides a way for packages to run code on app state change
without plumbing changes all the way to the process main function.
This is motivated by gl/glutil.Image which needs to rebuild its
textures on start/stop and can be deeply nested.
(See golang.org/cl/9707 for the followup.)
Tested manually on android and darwin/amd64. Doing this kind makes it
clear any CL modifying this code needs a lot of manual testing right
now, so some kind of trybot support is something I'm going to
prioritise.
