Blend modes take 3

[Benjamin Otte]

Hey,

I've updated the patch again here at the hackfest, and as far as I'm
concerned the patch can go in now. But I'd like you to ok it before I
push it.

We decided to prefix the non-seperable blend-modes with "HSL" to avoid
the confusion with the SATURATE operator. Otherwise I've used the
exact naming that is used in the ISO32000 PDF spec.

I switched swfdec to use it and it worked fine, so I removed INVERT
from Pixman/Cairo.

I've asked people here at the hackfest and nobody knew a solution to
it. So I left it in.

I've done that and saved roughly 50% of the code. The code looks way
cleaner to me, too.

I did this, too.

I've switched SoftLight to use doubles now, but left non-seperable ones alone.
