reftests: Allow minor differences to be tolerated

Based on an earlier patch by Michael Biebl, as used in Debian's GTK 3
packaging, with additional inspiration from librsvg's reftests.

Each .ui or .node reftest can have an accompanying .keyfile file
like this:

    [reftest]
    tolerated-diff-level=20
    tolerated-diff-pixels=1000

If the image differs, but the number of pixels that differ is no more
than tolerated-diff-pixels and the differences are no more than
tolerated-diff-level, then we treat it as a success with warnings, save
the .diff.png for analysis, and use g_test_incomplete() to record the
test-case as "TODO".

Applied-upstream: no, upstream want reftests to be a strict pass/fail with identical results required
