draw: make Scale an Interpolator method instead of a function.

This means that only Kernel values have a NewScaler method, which
re-uses computation when scaling multiple images of the same dst and src
dimensions. The NearestNeighbor and ApproxBiLinear scalers don't get any
pre-computation to re-use, so don't need a NewScaler method just to
satisfy the previous Interpolator interface. As a small bonus, NN.Scale
and ABL.Scale should no longer allocate on the fast paths.

This change is consistent the upcoming Transformer method, so that the
Interpolator interface will be

type Interpolator interface {
	Scale(etc)
	Transform(etc)
}

instead of

type Interpolator interface {
	NewScaler(etc) Scaler
	Transform(etc)
}

I don't have a good theory for why the "func (ablInterpolator)
scale_RGBA_RGBA" benchmark is such a dramatic improvement, but at least
it's in the right direction. I'm calling the other benchmark changes as
noise.
