By default the new API will be used. But if we build with
GIMP_DEPRECATED_REPLACE_NEW_API macro, then the same function names will
call the old API with ids.
This way, we don't have to update all our plug-ins at once (which I
tried and is very tedious work).
Note that bindings won't have access to the deprecated API at all.
Add a debug procedure group, living in 'debug.pdb', which would host
useful debug helper functions. Functions in this group are not part
of the stable API, and may be changed at any point.
All procedures added to 'debug.pdb' should have a 'debug_' prefix,
and use the new std_pdb_debug() macro, which adds the proper "here be
dragons" warning to their description.
Add two debug procedures: gimp-debug-timer-start() and
gimp-debug-timer-end(), which measure elapsed time, a la
GIMP_TIMER_{START,END}, and can be used to profile script-fu
commands.
