Adding an API for capturing an image of a RenderRepaintBoundary. (flu…

…tter#16758)

This adds a toImage function to RenderRepaintBoundary that returns an uncompressed raw image of the RenderRepaintBoundary and its children. A device pixel ratio different from the physical ratio may be specified for the captured image. A value of 1.0 will give an image in logical pixels.
