background-content: Mipmap background texture rendering

Browse Source 
gnome-shell displays workspace previews at one tenth scale. That's a
few binary orders of magnitude so even using a LINEAR filter was
resulting in visible jaggies. Now we apply mipmapping so they appear
smooth.

As an added bonus, the mipmaps used occupy roughly 1% the memory of
the original image (0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01) so they actually fit into GPU/CPU
caches now and rendering performance is improved. There's no need to
traverse the original texture which at 4K resolution occupies 33MB,
only a 331KB mipmap.

In my case this reduces the render time for the overview by ~10%.
