The patch introduces a new function to the color space conversion code
to allow us to convert an entire line of pixels at a time and avoid
floating point arithmetic in the process.  That part of the patch
touches generic poppler code and could benefit both the cairo and the
splash backend.

The part of the patch that is specific to cairo changes the way we
construct a cairo image surface from a PDF image stream.  We now use the
line based color conversion function to convert the pixels as we prepare
the arguments to cairo_image_surface_create_from_data().
