gallium: Replace gl_rasterization_rules with lower_left_origin and half_pixel_center.
Squashed commit of the following: commit 04c5fa2cbb8e89d6f2fa5a75af1cca03b1f6b852 Author: José Fonseca <[email protected]> Date: Tue Apr 23 17:37:18 2013 +0100 gallium: s/lower_left_origin/bottom_edge_rule/ commit 4dff4f64fa83b9737def136fffd161d55e4f1722 Author: José Fonseca <[email protected]> Date: Tue Apr 23 17:35:04 2013 +0100 gallium: Move diagram to docs. commit 442a63012c8c3c3797f45e03f2ca20ad5f399832 Author: James Benton <[email protected]> Date: Fri May 11 17:50:55 2012 +0100 gallium: Replace gl_rasterization_rules with lower_left_origin and half_pixel_center. This change is necessary to achieve correct results when using OpenGL FBOs. Reviewed-by: Marek Olšák <[email protected]>

+ - a *bottom edge* is an edge that is horizontal and is below the other
+ edges;
+ - a *left edge* is an edge that is not horizontal and is on the left side of
+ the triangle.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Actually all graphics APIs use a top-left rasterization rule for pixel
+ ownership, but their notion of top varies with the axis origin (which
+ can be either at y = 0 or at y = height). Gallium instead always
+ assumes that top is always at y=0.
