code review 4675076: image: change Pix from []FooColor to []uint8.

image: change Pix from []FooColor to []uint8.

Some benchmark numbers below. The image/draw fast-paths show dramatic
improvement, the generic slow-paths show a smaller slow-down.

LGTM

some of the code is clunkier than before but it's an improvement overall, i'm
sure.

image/draw benchmarks below. The generic DrawMask code becomes slower
(I'm guessing that Image.At and Image.Set are slower, converting
between uint8s and Colors) but most fast-path functions show dramatic
improvement. FillSrc and CopySrc are pretty much bound by the
performance of the built-in copy function and show no significant
change.
