    utils: Add photos_utils_create_buffer_from_node
    
    In the following patches, we need a way to get the output of a fully
    processed GeglNode as a GeglBuffer, which we are going to use in a
    separate thread to run various throwaway operations. eg., guessing the
    number of bytes if the buffer is JPEG compressed, or zooming it before
    saving.
