[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] HiDPI support issues on Windows

One issue is that the JViewport lastPaintPosition is exposed to subclasses and is an integer location.  It is also 
exposed to all apps via getViewPosition() and getViewRect().  That will conflict with indicating the exact location of 
the pixel-precise scroll position.  It's not clear how these will be used by subclasses and apps, or whether they can be 
implemented as approximations (ViewRect() could be the smallest integer rectangle that encloses the real view bounds, 
and the position could be the closest integer location to where the true pixel origin is).

One way to fix repainting issues is to disable copyArea optimizations if there is a scale.  FX has had a limitation like 
this until we fix our math, but our scrolling is entirely a hidden implementation detail.  Given that JViewport exposes 
the backbuffer and provides convenience methods for computing the blits needed to scroll, it gets a little dicey unless 
the scroll mode is considered just a hint.
