renderer: Expose winsys ID setter/getters

This adds API to let you override the choice of Cogl's winsys backend.
Previously it was only possible to override the winsys using the
COGL_RENDERER environment variable, but it's useful for something like
Clutter to be able to control the winsys via API without needing
environment variable tricks. This also adds API to query back the
winsys chosen by Cogl, in case you don't set an explicit override.
