[cairo] [RFC] Remove client-side workarounds

[Clemens Eisserer]

Hi Thomas,

Did you run the tests on an i915-class hardware?
I've filed a two reports (one now open for almost a year) which could
describe the problem causing the fails:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16917
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17933

No idea if this is related:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21523
