[cairo] cairo_xlib_surface_set_drawable

[Carl Worth]

Quick responses to the questions in the patch, (recognizing that one
is likely a copy of a pre-existing question in the implementation):

We've got CAIRO_STATUS_SURFACE_TYPE_MISMATCH for this case. We just
don't yet have the same error-handling scheme for cairo_surface_t that
we have for cairo_t, cairo_path_t, and cairo_pattern_t. When we add
that, we'll have a natural place to lodge the error.

I think this is a surface-type mismatch as well. The owns_pixmap case
only shows up from "create_similar" which exists to allow the user to
create a surface of an unknown type. So it's quite legitimate to have
the use of a similar surface cause an type mismatch error for any
surface-type-specific functions like this one.

Since we don't yet have cairo_surface_get_status I think the handling
of these errors as above is just fine for now.
