Change to pass structures by reference rather than value.

This is faster on ARM in particular. The primary changes involve
fz_matrix, fz_rect and fz_bbox.

Rather than passing 'fz_rect r' into a function, we now consistently
pass 'const fz_rect *r'. Where a rect is passed in and modified, we
miss the 'const' off. Where possible, we return the pointer to the
modified structure to allow 'chaining' of expressions.

The basic upshot of this work is that we do far fewer copies of
rectangle/matrix structures, and all the copies we do are explicit.

This has opened the way to other optimisations, also performed in
this commit.

Rather than using expressions like:

   fz_concat(fz_scale(sx, sy), fz_translate(tx, ty))

we now have fz_pre_{scale,translate,rotate} functions. These
can be implemented much more efficiently than doing the fully
fledged matrix multiplication that fz_concat requires.

We add fz_rect_{min,max} functions to return pointers to the
min/max points of a rect. These can be used to in transformations
to directly manipulate values.

With a little casting in the path transformation code we can avoid
more needless copying.

We rename fz_widget_bbox to the more consistent fz_bound_widget.
