[cairo] Xlib/Xcb and EXTEND_PAD

I've been trying to figure out why firefox uses nearest-neighbor
interpolation for upscaling, and it turns out that it would need to use
EXTEND_PAD to get correct results with a bilinear filter [1], but
EXTEND_PAD is causing a fallback in _cairo_xlib_surface_set_attributes /
_cairo_xcb_surface_set_attributes, which would slow down rendering. My
testing suggests that both EXTEND_PAD and EXTEND_REFLECT are supported
by XRender in current X servers, so wouldn't it make sense to disable
the fallback (at least conditionally depending on the X server version)?
Thanks,
Tom
