4d6c62514c observer: bypass surface mid-layer and call into recording surface directly
As we want to record the exact command pass to us, we want to bypass any
further optimisations that the surface mid-layer might perform before
passing the operation to the recording surface.

f49dae8013 observer: copy glyphs around call into backend
As the backend is allowed to modify the glyph array, we need to copy it
for recoding.

cb243acee5 recording: optionally disable optimise away clears
The observer wants to get an accurate recording of all operations,
including clears.

0efdc8d27e observer: record all operations and their timings
The immediate use of this is to print out the slowest operation of each
type in a replayable manner. A continuing demonstration of how we may
analyse traces...

2f020c4ade obsever: include the operation timings
Seeing the relative amounts of time spent in each operation and the
slowest one of each, gives further insight into the peculiarities of a
trace. And hopefully point out areas of improvement.

d03b0057b2 observer: further classify general clips
A clip with only a single path or can be reduced to a single polygon are
easier to handle than a clip containing a mixture of paths (typically
ANTIALIAS_NONE vs ANTIALIAS_DEFAULT).

I prefer the reduced output as exemplified by the operator message.

7ad4c8e711 observer: report number of solid patterns first
As these tend to be the quickest, and putting them first keeps the reports
are in an estimated fast->slow order.

eee66899cd Introduce cairo_surface_observer_t for performance analysis
Another logging passthrough surface that records the style of operations
performed trying to categorise what is slow/fast/important.

In combination with perf/cairo-analyse-trace it is very useful for
understanding what a trace does. The next steps for this tool would be
to identify the slow operations that the trace does. Baby steps.

This should be generally useful in similar situations outside of perf/
and should be extensible to become an online performance probe.
