Patch to implement subregion rendering with gtk3

We still can get the region in gtk3 with cairo_copy_clip_rectangle_list(). I've also moved the common code to a new method webkit_web_view_paint() used by both gtk2 and gtk3 code

Need to slide the asterisk on *rect over to GdkRectangle.

> +static void webkit_web_view_paint(Frame* frame, gboolean transparent, GraphicsContext *ctx, GdkRectangle* clipRect, GdkRectangle* rects, int rectCount)

The method name should follow WebKit style, so camelCase. It's not a GTK+ method, so perhaps the verb should come first? paintWebView maybe.

Also need to fix the asterisk on GraphicsContext *ctx. In fact, it probably makes sense to just pass a reference here. const GraphicsContext& context. We try to avoid abbreviating context in new code.

Instead of converting to GdkRectangle and then paintWebView converting them to IntRects, why not just convert straight to IntRect and pass a Vector of them. The code would end up looking something like this:

Vector<IntRect> rects;
if (!rectList->status && rectList->num_rectangles > 0) {
    for (int = 0; i < rectList->num_rectangles; i++)
        rects.append(IntRect(rectList->rectangles[i]));
}
paintWebView(frame, priv->transparent, context, &clipRect, rects);

paintWebView would, of course, take a Vector<IntRect>& rects. You would need to update shouldCoalesce as well to take an IntRect and a Vector<IntRect>&. The Windows port actually does something very similar to this in getUpdateRects in WebKit/win/WebView.cpp. Maybe check that out.

I should also say that I love the approach this patch takes. :)
