[Xcb] util/image and xcb_image_put() sub-regions

[Barton C Massey]

There are are clearly some interesting architectural
questions for a proper get/putimage utility library for XCB.

I think that a good way to go is to look at what Cairo
requires (via completing your port), look at what some other
toolkit-level uses require, and then design from scratch a
proper library.  I suspect that many of the features of Xlib
PutSubImage() are of questionable generality, utility, or
implementation from an XCB perspective; let's find out and
then build the right thing.

Of course, that's asking a lot of you.  Feel free to ask us
to help. :-)
