AW: openslide_read_region returns no picture data

[Stefan König]

The error state is empty and a read_associated_image call works fine aber
calling read_region.

I debugged inside the read_region code, I think there is something wrong
with some of the cairo calls painting to the buffer, but there is no proof
yet.

Friday I'll take a further look, and I'll write here if I find something.

I believe that that should work. But it may be that the slideObject
handle got into an error state, you probably should check for errors by
calling 'openslide_get_error' after the call to openslide_read_region
and probably most other calls.

According to the C api documentation, when the object is in error state
openslide_read_region will clear the dst buffer instead of painting to it.
