Wrong behaviour of average overview with alpha band

Description

Currently, if one computes an averaged overview of a RGBA dataset where there's a transition between valid data (alpha=255) and invalid data (alpha=0), the RGB components of the overview will - correctly - ignore the source pixels that have alpha=0. However the alpha values will be averaged. So the end result will be a non-premultiplied alpha RGBA overview, which is unwanted. A premultipled alpha RGBA would perhaps be better, but another acceptable solution, at least in the case where there are only alpha=0 and alpha=255, is to mask the alpha band with itself...
