Add context adoption support for WGL
This is trickier than the GLX and EGL implementations due to the way pixel formats, windows and contexts work. Apart from some restrictions, it should be fully functional nonetheless. Add also some proper documentation. Change-Id: Ia6e3eb1ab2701e439b8621b9092c2b0934ff2151 Reviewed-by: Jørgen Lind <jorgen.lind@digia.com>

+ \class QWGLNativeContext
+ \inmodule QtPlatformHeaders
+ \since 5.4
+
+ \brief A class encapsulating a WGL context on Windows with desktop OpenGL (opengl32.dll)
+
+ \note As of Qt 5.4 there is no binary compatibility guarantee for this class,
+ meaning that an application using it is only guaranteed to work with the Qt
+ version it was developed against.
+
+ QWGLNativeContext is a value class that can be passed to
+ QOpenGLContext::setNativeHandle(). When creating a QOpenGLContext with the
+ native handle set, no new context will get created. Instead, the provided
+ handles are used, without taking ownership. This allows wrapping a context
+ created by an external framework or rendering engine. The typical usage will
+ be similar to the following snippet:
+
+ \code
+ #include <QtPlatformSupport/QWGLNativeContext>
+ ...create and retrieve the WGL context and the corresponding window...
+ QOpenGLContext *context = new QOpenGLContext;
+ QWGLNativeContext nativeContext(hglrc, hwnd);
+ context->setNativeHandle(QVariant::fromValue(nativeContext));
+ context->create();
+ ...
+ \endcode
+
+ The window is needed because the its pixel format will be queried. When the
+ adoption is successful, QOpenGLContext::format() will return a QSurfaceFormat
+ describing this pixel format.
+
+ It is recommended to restrict the usage of QOpenGLContexts created this way.
+ Various platform-specific behavior and issues may prevent such contexts to be
+ made current with windows (surfaces) created by Qt due to non-matching pixel
+ formats for example. A potentially safer solution is to use the wrapped
+ context only to set up sharing and perform Qt-based rendering offscreen,
+ using a separate, dedicated QOpenGLContext. The resulting textures are then
+ accessible in the foreign context too.
+
+ \code
+ ...like above...
+ QOpenGLContext *qtcontext = new QOpenGLContext;
+ qtcontext->setShareContext(context);
+ qtcontext->setFormat(context->format());
+ qtcontext->create();
+ ...use qtcontext for rendering with Qt...
+ \endcode
+
+ In addition to being used with QOpenGLContext::setNativeHandle(), this class
+ is used also to retrieve the native context handle, that is, a HGLRC value,
+ from a QOpenGLContext. Calling QOpenGLContext::nativeHandle() returns a
+ QVariant which, on Windows with opengl32.dll at least, will contain a
+ QWGLNativeContext:
+
+ \code
+ QVariant nativeHandle = context->nativeHandle();
+ if (!nativeHandle.isNull() && nativeHandle.canConvert<QWGLNativeContext>()) {
+ QWGLNativeContext nativeContext = nativeHandle.value<QWGLNativeContext>();
+ HGLRC hglrc = nativeContext.context();
+ ...
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ \sa QOpenGLContext::setNativeHandle(), QOpenGLContext::nativeHandle()
+ */
+
+/*!
+ \fn HGLRC QWGLNativeContext::context() const
+
+ \return the WGL context.
+ */
+
+/*!
+ \fn HWND QWGLNativeContext::window() const
+
+ \note The window handle is not available when the QWGLNativeContext is
+ queried from a regular, non-adopted QOpenGLContext using
+ QOpenGLContext::nativeHandle(). This is because the \e windows platform
+ plugin creates WGL contexts using a dummy window that is not available
+ afterwards. Instead, the native window handle (HWND) is queriable from a
+ QWindow via QPlatformNativeInterface::nativeResourceForWindow() using the \e
+ "handle" resource key. Note however that the window will not have its pixel
+ format set until it is first associated with a context via
+ QOpenGLContext::makeCurrent().
+
+ \return handle for the window for which the context was created.
+ */
+
+/*!
+ \fn QWGLNativeContext::QWGLNativeContext()
+
+ Construct a new instance with no handles.
+ */
+
+/*!
+ \fn QWGLNativeContext::QWGLNativeContext(HGLRC ctx, HWND wnd)
+
+ Constructs a new instance with the provided \a ctx context handle and \a wnd window handle.
+
+ \note The window specified by \a wnd must have its pixel format set to a
+ format compatible with the context's. If no SetPixelFormat() call was made on
+ any device context belonging to the window, adopting the context will fail.
+ */
