Expose COGL_FEATURE_ID_BUFFER_AGE feature id

This adds a new COGL_FEATURE_ID_BUFFER_AGE feature id that can be used
to determine if cogl_onscreen_get_buffer_age() will ever return an age
other than 0. This should be used instead of querying the winsys feature
via cogl_clutter_winsys_has_feature().
