[poppler] Annot rendering improvements

[Leonard Rosenthol]

Yes, the raw object has a /Rect of [0 0 100 100].

HOWEVER, it doesn't have a prebuilt appearance.  As such, Acrobat/Reader
(or any other viewer) has to regenerate an appearance in order to render
it to the page.  Since your line has an L (the actual line coords) of [0 0
200 200], that causes Acrobat/Reader to generate a new bounding box that
incorporates the entire line as that is what one would expect.

So no bug in Acrobat, but Poppler should probably do the same thing.
