I guess that makes sense. The one case that was handled by
_pixman_solid_fill_iter_init() is a solid image with an alpha map, but
since alpha maps are ignored for anything but bits images, there is no
reason to not handle this case in noop as well.

This further breaks down the concept introduced with the refactoring in
0.16 that images are self-contained objects that know how to draw
themselves in favor of the concept that implementations are objects that
know how to draw images.
