backend: Provide a default create_context()

Since we use Cogl for the context creation we can now provide a default
context creation that should just work, plus a couple of hooks to allow
plugging into the creation sequence for platforms supported by Cogl that
require special handling — like foreign displays or alpha-enabled swap
chains.

The various backends have now two choices: either replace the
create_context() in its entirety, or plug themselves into the default
context creation.
