Extract most of the mutable state of SkShader into a separate Context object.

SkShader currently stores some state during draw calls via setContext(...).
Move that mutable state into a separate SkShader::Context class that is
constructed on demand for the duration of the draw.

Calls to setContext() are replaced with createContext() which returns a context
corresponding to the shader object or NULL if the parameters to createContext
are invalid.
