Image zooming: bad aliasing

Created attachment 266132 [details] Comparison of EOG to Geequie When looking at an image with very fine lines, the zoom out quality is quite bad, even when "smooth images when zoomed out" is selected. See the screenshot, and a comparison to the same image viewed in the "Geeqie" image viewer.
Created attachment 266133 [details] The full resolution image that is displayed in the screenshot
This is due to a lack of bilinear filtering when scaling the image. We have a known issue with cairo here which although it is told to apply bilinear filtering upon scaling only does nearest neighbor filtering. --- Thanks for the bug report.
