color.RGBA has two problems with regards to using it.
First the color values need to be premultiplied, whereas most APIs
have non-premultiplied values. This is mainly to preserve color components
with low alpha values.
Second there are two ways to premultiply with sRGB. One is to premultiply
after sRGB conversion, the other is before. This makes using the API more
confusing.
Using color.NRGBA in sRGB makes it align with CSS.e

PaintOp.Rect is the wrong abstraction; it implies a clip operation
better handled by package clip, and not all paints need it (colors).
Furthermore, it's awkward to specify a PaintOp that fills up the
current clip area, regardless of its size.
Redefine PathOp to mean "fill current clip area".
API change. Replace uses of PaintOp.Rect with a TransformOp applied
before the PaintOp.
Leave a TODO for the PathOp infinity area.
Fixes gio#167

Package material's ad-hoc mulAlpha didn't take the sRGB color-space
into account, which meant that alpha-scaled colors were subtly wrong.
Introduce f32color.MulAlpha and convert all uses to it.
Thanks to René Post for finding and debugging the issue.
