[PATCH] Support on-the-fly transparency changes in pixman renderer

[Manuel Bachmann]

When the alpha channel of a surface is changed and the surface
refreshed, pixman renderer will now apply a mask corresponding
to the alpha channel value.

This allows visual effects like shell fade in, shell fade out,
window switching, to work when using pixman renderer.
