ui: Fix pixel colour channel order for PNG screenshots

Browse Source 
When we take a PNG screenshot the ordering of the colour channels in
the data is not correct, resulting in the image having weird
colouring compared to the actual display.  (Specifically, on a
little-endian host the blue and red channels are swapped; on
big-endian everything is wrong.)

This happens because the pixman idea of the pixel data and the libpng
idea differ.  PIXMAN_a8r8g8b8 defines that pixels are 32-bit values,
with A in bits 24-31, R in bits 16-23, G in bits 8-15 and B in bits
0-7.  This means that on little-endian systems the bytes in memory
are
   B G R A
and on big-endian systems they are
   A R G B

libpng, on the other hand, thinks of pixels as being a series of
values for each channel, so its format PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB_ALPHA
always wants bytes in the order
   R G B A

This isn't the same as the pixman order for either big or little
endian hosts.

The alpha channel is also unnecessary bulk in the output PNG file,
because there is no alpha information in a screenshot.

To handle the endianness issue, we already define in ui/qemu-pixman.h
various PIXMAN_BE_* and PIXMAN_LE_* values that give consistent
byte-order pixel channel formats.  So we can use PIXMAN_BE_r8g8b8 and
PNG_COLOR_TYPE_RGB, which both have an in-memory byte order of
    R G B
and 3 bytes per pixel.

(PPM format screenshots get this right; they already use the
PIXMAN_BE_r8g8b8 format.)
