Erik Kurzinger 87bf2cafcc xwayland: add support for wp_linux_drm_syncobj_v1 ...

This protocol allows for explicit synchronization of GPU operations by
Wayland clients and the compositor. Xwayland can make use of this to
ensure any rendering it initiates has completed before the target image
is accessed by the compositor, without having to rely on kernel-level
implicit synchronization.

Furthermore, for X11 clients that also support explicit synchronization
using the mechanisms exposed in the DRI3 and Present extensions, this
Wayland protocol allows us to simply forward the timeline, acquire, and
release points directly to the compositor, ideally avoiding any
premature stalls in the presentation pipeline.
