Support InvalidatingCoreAnimation drawing model on the Mac

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A new drawing model was recently added for Mac plugins:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/NPAPI:InvalidatingCoreAnimation

It's identical to the other Core Animation drawing model except that the plugin 
needs to send invalidate calls just as with the CoreGraphics model. In the 
future, Gecko and Chromium will only support this variant of Core Animation 
(while Apple has suggested that Safari will probably only support the original 
version), since their implementations require knowing when the plugin has drawn.

I should add that the way to negotiate a Core Animation model would be:

First try to use NPDrawingModelInvalidatingCoreAnimation
If that isn't available, use NPDrawingModelCoreAnimation

Any browser that supports NPDrawingModelInvalidatingCoreAnimation does so 
because it's more efficient for that browser, so it should always be preferred. 
If you do it in the other order, you'll use the less efficient model in, e.g., 
Google Chrome, which supports both while plugins are transitioning.

I'll get on this when I get a chance. Thanks for the input!

This seems like it should be doable relatively quickly; think we can get it in 
for the next release in a couple of weeks?
