Add Actor::create_pango_layout()

Final bit of integration between ClutterActor and Pango: a simple
method for creating a PangoLayout, pre-filled with text and ready
to be rendered using cogl_pango_render_layout().

This should make writing new Actors rendering custom text in their
paint() implementation easy and reliable.
