  Create a decoded CGImage by the provided CGImage. This follows The Create Rule and you are response to call release after usage.
  It will detect whether image contains alpha channel, then create a new bitmap context with the same size of image, and draw it. This can ensure that the image do not need extra decoding after been set to the imageView.
