Canvas' composition is incorrect when alpha=0

[Shinichiro Hamaji]

In GraphicsContextCG and GraphicsContextSkia, there are optimization path for alpha=0 case, with which WebKit renders nothing. However, this behavior is incorrect for some composite modes (e.g., 'copy').

This is the reason why I introduced failing test cases in the previous patch:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25417

This optimization was introduced 3 years ago. At this time, fillRect() always calls fillRectSourceOver() so that this optimization was OK. So, I guess the current behavior (when alpha is zero, all fillrect operations are skipped even if the composite mode is 'copy') is not intentional.

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/13992/trunk/WebCore/platform/mac/GraphicsContextMac.mm

Fortunately, Skia has the similar optimization path inside Skia and Skia checks the composition mode if it is safe to do this optimization. I don't know if CG has similar logic, but anyway I think this patch won't reduce performance significantly as alpha=0 cases may be rare.

I also made error messages of the layout test case better, and added test case for path and fill.

Sorry, I forgot to add ChangeLog. The difference between this patch and the next should be only ChangeLogs.
