[cairo] GIF, PNG and MNG supports

[Stuart Parmenter]

Image decoders don't belong in cairo.  the PNG stuff was done to make
testing easier and should have probably been done in an external
library.  It would be great to see someone put together an little
external helper library to load images in to cairo surfaces though.
