[cairo] resize image surface

[chris nuernberger]

I don't think that is a very good match really.

I need the *results* of the drawing operation to be packed and contiguous
in memory because as I stated upload to is sensitive to the total data size
and the image data upload functions don't include a stride.

This would in theory render correctly (somewhat) but the original image
surface would still have its original stride.  The subsurfaces are simply a
translation layer sitting above the original surface; I need to data format
of the original surface to change.

I got something working already, it looks like the attached file.  I think
this works in my case because:

1.  I already need all image sizes to be divisible by four (GLES2
limitation).
2.  I am only using pango to render to the surface and then copying the
result off to somewhere else with glTexImage2D.
3.  The damage member is always null so there shouldn't be anything else
relying on the damage.

At least I got it to work rendering to an RGB image surface which has 4
byte pixels for alignment reasons.  It doesn't work (yet) if I switch the
image surface to be alpha-only.  I use the resulting texture in opengl as a
luminance texture so rendering an alpha mask in cairo should be ideal in
terms of memory bandwidth and it fits my use case.
