In QPainter, clipping can only be done on whole pixels. The various
ways of specifying a clipping rectangle to the QPainter API have been
inconsistent in how fractional rectangles (either specified directly,
or as a result of fractional scaling) are mapped (rounded) to integer
coordinates.
Also, the mappings have not made sure to keep the edge-to-edge
property of clip rects under scaling. This is particularly important
when scaling QRegions with multiple rects, as QRegion is designed on
the assumption that an area can be described as a set of edge-to-edge
rects.
The fix rounds a clip rect identically with a fill rect. (Indeed, a
followup plan would be to merge QRasterPaintEngine's
toNormalizedFillRect() with the rectangle rounding function in this
commit).
Notably, a QRectF clip is now interpreted the same as a QPainterPath
clip describing the same area.
