rendering. to turn on:
1.
configure with --enable-async-render
2.
export EVAS_RENDER_MODE=non-blocking
presto. necessitates some api swizzling (thus the expedite. ecore etc. changes)
the kind of results you get on a desktop:

Improvements: Now evas rendering loop is the one responsible to
initialize the surface to 0 correctly (taking into account surface
alpha and object opacity). This will reduce the number of memset
we do.
Note: Current software_x11 (xlib and xcb) are buggy. They are
copying too much data when the surface use a mask. That's why
two memset are left in their code. They could be removed, but
we should fix the surface we copy on change (look at mxob user
and evas_software_xlib_x_output_buffer_paste).

* evas_engine_info_set() returns now an int, to inform if
an error occured or not when setting the info of the engine.
* in the Evas_Func structure, the setup() method returns an int
* all the engines are updated
I'll fix ecore_evas and ewl later (the compilation is still fine).
Gustavo: should I add EINA_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT at the end of the
evas_engine_info_set() function ?

sometimes slower)
2. --enable-pthreads will enable multi-threaded rendering (current support is
for up to 4 threads so if you have a new fanled quad core or dual cpu dual
core box or whatever you will in theory be able to max moe of its cpu grunt
with the software rendering engine. this can only be done because i added the
pipelines which means almsot entirely lock-free multithreading internally in
evas. the only locks are for fonts but with a little work i might be able to
remove some/most of those too)
for now pthreaded rendering likely will be linux only (it relies on sched.h
for setting scheduler params to force the slave threads to run on separate
cpu's as linux likes to keep them on the same cpu otherwise and thus we get
no speedups at all - only slowdowns).
aso note that it is a bit of a mixed bag. complex ops (like smooth scaling
with alpha blending) get speedups, but simple ops (like blits/fills) slow down.
this all neds examination and tweaking still - but it's a start.

far buffer, software_x11 and fb engines use it. need to make allother
software enignes use it next then the gl, cairo, xrender engines, then dfb.
it cuts out a LOT of duplicate code. makes writign a new engine or engine
variant much simpler
