actor: make default get_paint_volume more conservative

There are too many examples where the default assumption that an actor
paints inside its allocation isn't true, so we now return FALSE in the
base implementation instead. This means that by default we are saying
"we don't know the paint volume of the actor", so developers need to
implement the get_paint_volume virtual to take advantage of culling and
clipped redraws with their actors.

This patch provides very conservative get_paint_volume implementations
for ClutterTexture, ClutterCairoTexture, ClutterRectangle and
ClutterText which all explicitly check the actor's object type to avoid
making any assumptions about subclasses.
