Upload GdkPixbufs into cairo surfaces so they (hopefully) live on the X server and have better performance. In the presence of XRender, let cairo do things smarter.

This is a big win performance wise. BrowserWindowGtk::OnCustomFrameExpose, a heavy user of images sped up from an average runtime of 20.5ms to 0.7ms.

TEST=Run through valgrind, don't leak memory.
TEST=Run both before and after using xtrace. Notice fewer XCreatePixmap requests and more XRender-CreatePicture requests.

+// once. From then on, that cached version is used so we don't upload the same
+// image each and every time we expose.
+//
+// Most cached surfaces are owned by the GtkThemeProvider, which associates
+// them with a certain XDisplay. Some users of surfaces (CustomDrawButtonBase,
+// for example) own their surfaces instead since they interact with the
