patch 9.2.0646: GTK3 GUI slow on HiDPI/4K with software rendering

Problem:  GTK3 GUI slow on HiDPI/4K with software rendering
Solution: Turn off Alpha rendering processing (Christoffer Aasted)

Reduces the processing load significantly, since it contains no alpha
channel.

https://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-cairo-surface-t.html#CAIRO-CONTENT-COLOR-ALPHA:CAPS

Tested on aarch64 with a rpi5 and 4k/hidpi integer scaling.

Slowest gvim I have encountered yet.

Slow symptoms;
* Startup
* Scrolling
* Drawing text
* Loading new buffers
