On some screens (typically low quality laptop screens), using Bayer ordered dithering has been observed to cause color changes depending on *where the gradient is rendered on the screen*, causing visible flickering when moving an image on the screen. To alleviate the issue, this patch adds support for ordered dithering using a 64x64 matrix tuned from blue noise. In addition to being devoid of the positional dependency on screen, the blue noise matrix also generates more pleasing and less discernable patterns. As such, it is now the method used for PIXMAN_DITHER_GOOD and PIXMAN_DITHER_BEST dithering methods. The 64x64 blue noise matrix has been generated using the provided `pixman/dither/make-blue-noise.c` script, which uses the void-and-cluster method. Changes since v1 (thanks Bill): - Use uint16_t for the blue noise matrix for lower memory usage - Use bitwise computation for array index
