GHOST: Add new interface to manage offscreen contexts.

Offscreen contexts are not attached to a window and can only be used for rendering to frambuffer objects.

CGL implementation : Brecht Van Lommel (brecht)
GLX implementation : Clément Foucault (fclem)
WGL implementation : Germano Cavalcante (mano-wii)

Other implementation are just place holder for now.
