Currently there is some inconsistency in how image_op is implemented
across backends. The glx backend applies some of the image operations
lazily, and not always in the order the operations were made; while the
xrender backend applies the operations eagerly. This can lead to
different render result in some cases.
Instead of trying to preserving the order of operations, which would be
unnecessary, we re-model the API to better reflect the implementation.
We make it clear that setting the property doesn't change the image
data, and properties are only applied during composition and in a
specific order.
This makes sure the render result looks consistent across backends.
Should also improve the performance of the xrender backend, even if only
slightly.
Also distill out the property management code so they can be shared.
