cogl-clip-stack: Always use the scissor when clipping

Whenever a path or a rectangle is added to the clip stack it now also
stores a screen space bounding box in the entry. Then when the clip
stack is flushed the bounding box is first used to set up the
scissor. That way when we eventually come to use the stencil buffer
the clear will be affected by the scissor so we don't have to clear
the entire buffer.
