8u40 review request: RT-37793 performance problems in Canvas temp and clip buffers

[Jim Graham]

Hi Herve,

This particular bug has nothing to do with rectangular clipping, this is 
improving shape clipping instead.

Also, the fix involved actually isn't really any change to the clipping. 
  It just so happens that the clipping code in Canvas was the heaviest 
user of the code that clears the temp buffer (isolated to Canvas) that 
was not using the fastest clear method.

The node clipping code uses an entirely different implementation that 
relies on the Decora effect code which already does the clears in the 
optimal way...
