Support more backends

Currently, node-canvas only supports cairo's image backend and PDF rendering. These are useful for server applications. However, the performance with those backends is not sufficient for desktop applications. It would be nice if node-canvas also supported cairo backends such as cairo-gl or quartz for hardware-accelerated rendering.

See http://cairographics.org/backends/ for available backends.
