백현기 reported a use-case where he was recording an entire web-page
onto the recording surface, in order to facilitate panning. In this
scenario, where there may be lots of similar surfaces within the
recording we generate thousands of unused snapshot-images bloating
memory usage and impairing performance.
Under the right conditions we can replay directly onto the destination
which not only bypasses the snapshots but also skips the following
resampling.

Step 1, fix the failings sighted recently by tracking clip-boxes as an
explicit property of the clipping and of composition.

In order for custom context to automatically track when a pattern is
modify after being set on the context (and before it is used in an
operator), we need for there to be a callback when the pattern is
modified.

Carefully handle subsurfaces of a recording surface through the analysis
and paginated surfaces so that we can generate a native pattern for the
vector backends, demonstrated by the PostScript backend.
Nothing remarkable, just a lot of bookkeeping to track the wrapped
surface types and to apply the correct offsets when generating the
subsurface pattern.
I updated the Free Software Foundation address using the following script.
for i in $(git grep Temple | cut -d: -f1 )
do
sed -e 's/59 Temple Place[, -]* Suite 330, Boston, MA *02111-1307[, ]* USA/51 Franklin Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-1335, USA/' -i "$i"
done

As _cairo_clip_init_rectangle() is equivalent and more importantly more
clearly written as:
_cairo_clip_init(&clip);
if (status = _cairo_clip_rectangle(&clip, &rect)) {
_cairo_clip_fini(&fini);
return status;
}
perform the transformation and in the process catch a few mistakes along
error paths.
As a simple step to ensure that we do not inadvertently modify (or at least
generate compiler warns if we try) user data, mark the incoming style
and matrices as constant.
An older variant of the fixes for moving the device transformation out
of the surface layer, but languished in a side branch. The only benefit
of this patch is that it avoids the copy where possible.
Add a new surface type that multiplies it input onto several output
surfaces. The only limitation is that it requires a master surface that is
used whenever we need to query surface options, such as font options and
extents.
Handling clip as part of the surface state, as opposed to being part of
the operation state, is cumbersome and a hindrance to providing true proxy
surface support. For example, the clip must be copied from the surface
onto the fallback image, but this was forgotten causing undue hassle in
each backend. Another example is the contortion the meta surface
endures to ensure the clip is correctly recorded. By contrast passing the
clip along with the operation is quite simple and enables us to write
generic handlers for providing surface wrappers. (And in the future, we
should be able to write more esoteric wrappers, e.g. automatic 2x FSAA,
trivially.)
In brief, instead of the surface automatically applying the clip before
calling the backend, the backend can call into a generic helper to apply
clipping. For raster surfaces, clip regions are handled automatically as
part of the composite interface. For vector surfaces, a clip helper is
introduced to replay and callback into an intersect_clip_path() function
as necessary.
Whilst this is not primarily a performance related change (the change
should just move the computation of the clip from the moment it is applied
by the user to the moment it is required by the backend), it is important
to track any potential regression:
