[cairo] polygon fill with patterns

[Gerdus van Zyl]

You need to make the image into a pattern
(cairo_pattern_create_for_surface) then set the extend using
cairo_pattern_set_extend(pattern,CAIRO_EXTEND_REPEAT). You can of
course also make a pattern from any surface, so a generated pattern is
possible.
