Revise some of the compositor performance improvements to improve correctness. Implement pixel blending using a variation of Jim Blinn's no-division blending algorithm. Move transparency type simplification further up the composition code. Remove some unnecessary fields. Output to YUV implementation needs revision as it is actually converting from YUV (copy of source conversion code).

// Description:
// For the Winscw Emulator only, selects between NGA and Non-NGA version of wsgraphicdrawer.
// The default is the non-GCE based version.
// To select the NGA version do one of:
// 1. Add a line to the epoc.ini file in \epoc32\data like this:
// symbian_graphics_use_gce ON
// or
// 2. Start epoc.exe with these parameters, (the "--" IS necessary):
// -Dsymbian_graphics_use_gce=ON --
// or
// 3. epoc.exe can be told to switch to a different initialisation file than epoc.ini, with the -M parameter.
// Progress chaining to the real Wserv is logged in epocwind.out.
// 
//
