Stephan Aßmus 582da17386 * complete reimplementation of BRegion and it's backend
I "ported" the region implementation from XOrg to work on BRegion data.

This resulted in pretty much the same code structure as before, with 
RegionSupport.cpp containing the messy details. Only now it _is_ really messy
from a code beauty point of view. I didn't exactly feel like cleaning it
up right now... but I guess I will have to.

So what does this mean - our BRegion implementation was very slow (no offense!),
and on top of that it scaled very badly with more and more rects. The new
implementation seems to be on par with the very fast R5 implementation and
the data looks exactly the same too. BRegion is very performance critical
for the app_server, and I cannot wait to try this on my slow computer...

Some changes are noteworthy: The right and bottom coordinates of
BRegion internal data are now exclusive! I inherited that from the
XOrg implementation and didn't feel like changing the code, seeing it
is probably tested quite well. The conversion is handled transparently.

Secondly, constructing a BRegion with just one rect is not invoking
malloc anymore for the member data, this makes it much more efficient
to use temporary BRegions with just one rect, both externally and internally
in the BRegion implementation.
