Improve text rendering quality

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Text rendered by coreplot suffers from the lack of support for subsampling in 
core animation layers, especially when there's no background set when text is 
rendered. This leads to a very visible decrease of rendering quality, 
especially if there's other content rendered by standard code/controls (e.g. 
NSTextField with a background set). It's beyond me why Apply did not come up 
with a solution for this problem (which also affects layer-backed views).

It would be great if coreplot could find a way to properly render text (maybe 
by compositing the text output in memory before writing it to the layer). This 
will probably decrease rendering speed and should therefore be switchable 
(especially when doing animations).
