Re: Quartz backend on iOS/iPhone

Oops, this might be a moot point as cairo Quartz backend appears to be
using "non-published APIs" and as such linking against it gets an app
auto-rejected from the app store. Something new I learned today.

If anyone wants to talk about making Quartz backend "iOS compliant" -
let me know.

It also disables cairo_quartz_font_face_create_for_atsu_font_id() -- I'm not sure if ATSUI is available on iOS (afaik it is at least deprecated), so using an "ifdef" was the easiest solution.
