[All]
[NEW] Full screen support for desktop platforms.

[NEW] DrawNode supports to draw triangle, quad bezier, cubic bezier.
[NEW] Console: added the 'textures', 'fileutils dump' and 'config' commands

[FIX] event->stopPropagation can't work for EventListenerTouchAllAtOnce.
[FIX] Uses unified `desktop/CCEGLView.h/cpp` for desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux).

[FIX] ControlButton doesn't support to set scale ratio of touchdown state.
[FIX] Particles: Crash was triggered if there is not `textureFileName`section in particle plist file.
[FIX] Renderer: Uses a float as key with only the depth. Viewport, opaque are not needed now
[FIX] Renderer Performance Fix: QuadCommand::init() does not copy the Quads, it only store a reference making the code faster
[FIX] Renderer Performance Fix: Sprite and SpriteBatchNode (and subclasses) has much better performance
[FIX] Renderer Performance Fix: When note using VAO, call glBufferData() instead of glBufferSubData().
[FIX] Renderer Performance Fix: Doesn't sort z=0 elements. It also uses sort() instead of stable_sort() for z!=0.
[FIX] Sprite: removed _hasChildren optimization. It uses !_children.empty() now which is super fast as well
