gallium: clear interface changes

clears were a bit limited in gallium:
- no scissoring (OGL only) nor explicit rectangle list (d3d9)
- no color/stencil masks (OGL only)
- no separate depth/stencil clears (d3d9/d3d10/OGL)
- cannot really clear single color buffer (only with resource_fill_region)

Additionally, d3d can clear surfaces not currently bound to the framebuffer.

It is, however, not easy to find some common ground what a clear should be able
to do, due to both API requirements and also hw differences (a case which might
be able to use a special clear path on one hw might need a "normal" quad render
on another).

Hence several clear methods are provided, and a driver should implement all of
them.
- clear: slightly modified to also be able to clear only depth or stencil in a
  combined depth/stencil surface. This is however optional based on driver
  capability though ideally it wouldn't be optional. AFAIK this is in fact
  something used by applications quite a bit.
  Otherwise, for now still doesn't allow clearing with scissors/mask (or single
  color buffers)
- clearRT: clears a single (potentially unbound) color surface. This was formerly
  roughly known as resource_fill_region. mesa st will not currently use this,
  though potentially would be useful for GL ClearBuffer.
- clearDS: similar to above except for depth stencil surfaces.

Note that clearDS/clearRT currently handle can handle partial clear. This might
change however.

 Clearing
 ^^^^^^^^
 
+Clear is one of the most difficult concepts to nail down to a single
+interface (due to both different requirements from APIs and also driver/hw
+specific differences).
+
 ``clear`` initializes some or all of the surfaces currently bound to
 the framebuffer to particular RGBA, depth, or stencil values.
+Currently, this does not take into account color or stencil write masks (as
+used by GL), and always clears the whole surfaces (no scissoring as used by
+GL clear or explicit rectangles like d3d9 uses). It can, however, also clear
+only depth or stencil in a combined depth/stencil surface, if the driver
+supports PIPE_CAP_DEPTHSTENCIL_CLEAR_SEPARATE.
+If a surface includes several layers/slices (XXX: not yet...) then all layers
+will be cleared.
 
-Clear is one of the most difficult concepts to nail down to a single
-interface and it seems likely that we will want to add additional
-clear paths, for instance clearing surfaces not bound to the
-framebuffer, or read-modify-write clears such as depth-only or
-stencil-only clears of packed depth-stencil buffers.  
+``clearRT`` clears a single color rendertarget with the specified color
+value. While it is only possible to clear one surface at a time (which can
+include several layers), this surface need not be bound to the framebuffer.
+
+``clearDS``clears a single depth, stencil or depth/stencil surface with
+the specified depth and stencil values (for combined depth/stencil buffers,
+is is also possible to only clear one or the other part). While it is only
+possible to clear one surface at a time (which can include several layers),
+this surface need not be bound to the framebuffer.
