so a little perf fun shows malloc/free/realloc/etc. are, combined a
reasonable overhead. this reduced malloc overhead for draw contexts so
whne we duplicate them or create new ones, we re-use a small cache of
8 of them to avoid re-allocation. just take the first one from the
list as it really is that simple. mempool would not have helped more
here and cost more overhead.

i found evas_common_draw_context_apply_cutouts() was procsessing 300+
cutouts and as it's O(n^2)/2 to try and merge adjacent rects for
cutouts this really performs like complete junk. we apply cutout rects
a LOT. this is not the best solution, but it's quick and much faster
than doing the clipouts which drop framerate to like 1-2fps or so in the
nasty case i say (tyls -m of photos in a dir with a 2160 high
terminal).
this figures out the target area to limit the count of rects
significantly so O(n^2) is far far better when n is now < 10 most of
the time. and for the few operations where it's a high value this now
uses qsort to speed up merges etc. etc.
@optimize
this works with 7166e6b859 and fixes a
leak added because ... free does not free!
evas_common_draw_context_cutouts_real_free(0 now actually frees the
rects, but evas_common_draw_context_cutouts_free() before did not.
@fix (follow on from 7166e6b859)
I've tested make -j 3 install and it works nicely
I've tested expedite with software and opengl xlib,
and it works. Not tested other engines, so please
report any problems (engines or other) on the ML.
TODO: examples and tests, I'll add them later
ISSUE: Eina_Unicode size check. It indirectly depends on
eina_config.h, which is created at the end of the
configure script. So its size is always 0. I don't
know how that size is used, so I can't do a lot,
for now.
