Even i915 has sufficient support to survive the removal of fixed
functions (even if I'm not enthralled by its performance). Realistically
shaderful hardware seems like the minimum to target nowadays, but does
anybody have a machine that would be upset by this patch? r200?  And is
cairo-gl even sane on such hardware? ;-)

Reducing the backend complexity seems worthwhile, so that we can spend the
effort elsewhere...
