It was disabled because it had bit rotted, didn't compile, and was a
casualty of our removal of Cairo from Servo. In order to bring it
back, someone just needs to reimplement it without using Cairo.

This interacts somewhat with the work I'm doing on GPU rendering, as
we'll either have to disable the GPU path with a PNG compositor, or
have the compositor still be GPU based but just write out the final
framebuffer to PNG. I'd suggest the former method until after the GPU
rendering code lands.
