[cairo] Added mmx fast path for fbComposeCopyAreammx

Hi !

  While profiling some parts of the mmx codepath, I noticed that simple RGB
blitting (fbComposeCopyArea) from a8r8g8b8 to x8r8g8b8 sources was not being
accelerated at all by mmx!! I noticed it was because no mmx_fast_path was
declared for this very case :

{ PIXMAN_OP_SRC, PIXMAN_a8r8g8b8,  PIXMAN_null,	PIXMAN_x8r8g8b8,
fbCompositeCopyAreammx, 0 }...

...case which I simply added in pixman-pict.c

it might look weird to drive pixman_blt_mmx  between two incoherent sources (RGB
against ARGB), but since both surfaces are processed as 32 bpp, I don't see why
we couldn't use some speedup here simply adding this mmx_fast_path case.

Here's a speedup chart that supports this optimization :

A mean perf gain of 1.5X was observed for the image-rgb cases instead of 0.99 as
seen before this optim.

The associated patch is attached. I'd be please, Soeren, if took a look at it
:-)
thanx !
