    reftest-compare: Treat colour channels as undefined if alpha is zero
    
    If the alpha channel is zero, it doesn't matter what the values of the
    red, green and blue channels are: the pixel is still fully transparent.
    On most architectures, fully transparent pixels end up all-zeroes
    (fully transparent black), matching what's in the reference PNG file;
    but on mips*el the blend-difference and blend-normal tests get all-ones
    (fully transparent white) and a test failure.
