Particularly good since _list (or something similar) could be applied
consistently to any datatype. Whereas if we went with "rectangles" we
would set ourselves up with a nasty precedent if we ever wanted to
mimic this pattern in the future, (and were unlucky enough to find
ourselves with an irregular English plural).

I've gone ahead and added "Since: 1.4" to all the symbols I could see
that were obviously missing it. I did this by browsing the changes in
public header files since 1.2.4 [*]:

	cairo_clip_extents
	cairo_copy_clip_rectangles
	CAIRO_STATUS_INVALID_INDEX
	cairo_rectangle_t
	cairo_rectangle_list_t

I notice that we don't have anything like this for the experimental
backend functions, (and maybe that's OK---maybe we're not even putting
documentation for those on the web at all?). Those do "leak" a bit int
cairo_surface_type_t so maybe it would make sense to add some Since:
tags there still, (there are currently none on that enum).
