In a discussion with Raph Levien, the author of our compute renderer
implementation, it became clear to me that it's not at all certain that
complex strokes will ever be efficiently supported by a GPU renderer.
At the same time, the machinery for converting a complex stroke to a
GPU-friendly outline has a significant maintenance cost. Further, it is
surprising to users that complex strokes are significantly slower and
allocate memory.
This change removes support for complex strokes, leaving only
round-capped, round-joined strokes supported by the compute renderer.
The default renderer still converts all strokes to outline, but it also
caches the result.
This is an API change. The complex stroke conversion code has been moved
to the external gioui.org/x/stroke package, with a similar API.

The clear background is the most useful, and the old behaviour can
be achieved by filling the entire viewport with a white paint.ColorOp.

The new compute renderer can draw simple strokes. Test that clipping
works with a stroke basis, and that images can be drawn into strokes.
