b0e8d8483d More work on text nodes
This commit takes several steps towards rendering text
like we want to.

The creation of the cairo surface and texture is moved
to the backend (in GskVulkanRenderer). We add a mask
shader that is used in the next text pipeline to use
the texture as a mask, like cairo_mask_surface does.
There is a separate color text pipeline that uses the
already existing blend shaders to use the texture as
a source, like cairo_paint does.

The text node api is simplified to have just a single
offset, which determines the left end of the text baseline,
like all our other text drawing APIs.

7afdd3fdb5 Initial implementation of GSK rendering pipeline
GSK is conceptually split into two scene graphs:

 * a simple rendering tree of operations
 * a complex set of logical layers

The latter is built on the former, and adds convenience and high level
API for application developers.

The lower layer, though, is what gets transformed into the rendering
pipeline, as it's simple and thus can be transformed into appropriate
rendering commands with minimal state changes.

The lower layer is also suitable for reuse from more complex higher
layers, like the CSS machinery in GTK, without necessarily port those
layers to the GSK high level API.

This lower layer is based on GskRenderNode instances, which represent
the tree of rendering operations; and a GskRenderer instance, which
takes the render nodes and submits them (after potentially reordering
and transforming them to a more appropriate representation) to the
underlying graphic system.
