Lucas Stach 22d796feb8 egl/wayland: break double/tripple buffering feedback loops
Currently we dispose any unneeded color buffers immediately if we detect that
there are more unlocked buffers than we need. This can lead to feedback loops
between the compositor and the application causing rapid toggling between
double and tripple buffering.

Scenario: 2 buffers already queued to the compositor, egl/wayland allocates a
new back buffer to avoid throttling, slowing down the frame. This allows the
compositor to catch up and unlock both buffers. EGL detects that there are
more buffers than currently needed, freeing the buffer, restarting the loop
shortly after.

To avoid wasting CPU time on rapidly freeing and reallocating color buffers
break those feedback loops by letting the unneeded buffers sit around for a
short while before disposing them.
