A bunch of tests (mostly in css3/filters) turn off accelerated compositing in order to specifically test the software filter path.

However, accelerated compositing cannot be disabled on Mac anymore. When the tests do this, they completely disable rendering :(

We should stop the tests from doing this, reevaluate whether we actually want to test the software filter path (considering it won't be what we use most of the time, since accelerated compositing is always already on and we'll therefore generally use hardware filters, I think?), and maybe add a different setting for that, if we decide that we do.

Many of these tests are already skipped for other reasons.
