Chris Wilson 57fc09cef2 Avoid fallbacks for a1 src/mask
Carl Worth did the hard work in identifying that the regression in
cairo between X.org 1.6 and 1.7 was caused by cairo sending an a1
mask to the server in 1.7 whereas in 1.6 cairo used local fallbacks
(as the source was using RepeatPad, which triggers cairo's
'buggy_pad_reflect' fallback for X.org 1.6). This was causing the driver
to do a fallback to handle the a1 mask instead, which due to the GPU
pipeline stall is much more expensive than the equivalent fallback in
cairo.

Reference:
  cairo's performance downgrades 4X with server master than server-1.6.

The fix is a relatively simple extension of the current
uxa_picture_from_pixman_image() to use CompositePicture() instead of
CopyArea() when we need to convert to a new format.
