EXA/evergreen/ni: accelerate PictOpOver with component alpha

Subpixel text rendering is typically done with a solid src and a
pixmap mask. Traditionally, this cannot be accelerated in a single
pass and requires two passes [1]. However, we can cheat a little
with a constant blend color.

We can use:

const.A = src.A / src.A
const.R = src.R / src.A
const.G = src.G / src.A
const.B = src.B / src.A

dst.A = const.A * (src.A * mask.A) + (1 - (src.A * mask.A)) * dst.A
dst.R = const.R * (src.A * mask.R) + (1 - (src.A * mask.R)) * dst.R
dst.G = const.G * (src.A * mask.G) + (1 - (src.A * mask.G)) * dst.G
dst.B = const.B * (src.A * mask.B) + (1 - (src.A * mask.B)) * dst.B

This only needs a single source value. src.A is cancelled down in
the right places.
