[PATCH] composite: Don't bother copying the pixmap for ForgetGravity windows

If a window has ForgetGravity in its bitGravity, that very likely
means it will repaint on the ConfigureNotify / Expose event, and thus
we don't have to copy the old pixmap into the new pixmap, we can simply
leave it blank.

Preventing this copy is super simple to do and a big win on small
devices where these blits can be expensive.

A better approach would be to actually obey BitGravity correctly rather
than assume NorthWestGravity always, but this is a big speedup for the
common case.
