Simon Ser 5685a17674 lib/ui: introduce Invalidatable
Many Drawable implementations have their own Invalidate and OnInvalidate
functions, with an unexported onInvalidate field. However OnInvalidate and
Invalidate are usually not called in the same goroutine. This results in a race
on this field, e.g.:

To fix this, introduce a new type, Invalidatable, which protects the field.
Unfortunately the Drawable must be passed to the callback function in
Invalidate, so we still need to re-implement this in each Invalidatable user.
