computeAbsoluteRepaintRect needs a new name

I'm still not sure I entirely understand computeAbsoluteRepaintRect.  But given
this comment in RenderObject.h:

    // Given a rect in the object's coordinate space, this method converts the
rectangle to the view's
    // coordinate space.
    virtual void computeAbsoluteRepaintRect(IntRect&, bool fixed = false);

It seems the function needs a new name.  It really has nothing to do with
repaint rects it seems.

I think pretty much all of the SVG code is either missing that function, or has
a bogus implementation thereof.  It would be nice to clarify the idea behind
that function, and make all versions of getAbsoluteRepaintRect() use it if
appropriate.
