[cairo] CAIRO_HAS_FILEIO_FUNCTIONS

Not all operating system platforms allow standard file IO functions and
types.
To solve: Add the following define for cairo-features.h:
#define CAIRO_HAS_FILEIO_FUNCTIONS
Affecting the following public interfaces:
cairo_surface_write_to_png
cairo_image_surface_create_from_png
cairo_pdf_surface_create
cairo_ps_surface_create
cairo_script_create
cairo_svg_surface_create
cairo_xml_create
It would be very nice to place the appropriate #ifdefs in the Cairo
code, allowing the code to compile under these [silly] platform API's.
I believe there is only one or two areas in Cairo's internal code that
would require the #ifdef.
No functionality would be reduced by this addition, since equivalent
stream functionally exists.
While the requirement disallowing standard File IO currently affects
only a small number of operating system API's, it is expected to be a
growing concern, so a little forethought in this area should pay off in
the long run.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration.
