PIXI.utils.canUseNewCanvasBlendModes() is unreliable on Chrome

[dtinth]

I found a problem on a game I’m developing using CanvasRenderer that sometimes blend mode works (in particular, the screen mode), sometimes it doesn’t.

Calling PIXI.utils.canUseNewCanvasBlendModes() on http://pixijs.github.io/examples/ (which is running Pixi.js 3.0.6) yields an unreliable result:

46.0.2490.80 (64-bit)
Mac OS X El Capitan

Since I don’t plan to support Internet Explorer right now, my workaround is to do this:

function hackPIXIToForceNewBlendModes () {
  PIXI.utils.canUseNewCanvasBlendModes = () => true
}

I suspect that the problem may be that the Image is loaded asynchronously (i.e. in another thread) but sometimes it decodes fast enough to be used synchronously. Maybe, creating an image data from scratch instead of loading from PNG files may be able to fix this.

Its the same as #2171 . They actually have problem in compiler, it "optimized" something. Wait for next chrome update :)

You can rewrite this test using 257x257 texture
