Before re-using a VkCommandBuffer, we need to wait for its
operations to complete. Right now we unconditionally wait for
rendering to complete in vulkan_end(), however we have plans to
fix this [1]. To fully avoid blocking, we need to handle multiple
command buffers in flight at the same time (e.g. for multi-output,
or for rendering followed by texture uploads).
Implement a pool of command buffers. When we need to render, we
pick a command buffer from the pool which has completed its
operations. If we don't find one, try to allocate a new command
buffer. If we don't have slots in the pool anymore, block like we
did before.

Up until now we were using a VkFence for GPU-to-CPU
synchronization. This has some limitations that become a blocker
when trying to have multiple command buffers in flight at once
(e.g. for multi-output). It's desirable to implement a command
buffer pool [1], but VkFence cannot be used to track command buffer
completion for individual subpasses.
Let's just switch to timeline semaphores [2], which fix this issue,
make synchronization a lot more ergonomic and are a core Vulkan 1.2
feature.

Added wlr_vk_renderer_get_* functions to allow get the VkInstance,
VkPhysicalDevice, VkDevice, queue family of a wlr_vk_renderer.
Added wlr_vk_renderer_get_current_image_attribs function to allow get
the VkImage of current renderer buffer to use on compositors.
Added wlr_renderer_is_vk function, it's like the wlr_renderer_is_gles2,
returns true if the wlr_renderer is a wlr_vk_renderer.
Added wlr_vk_image_get_attribs function to get a VkImage and it's
extras information (e.g. a VkImageLayout and VkImageFormat of the
VkImage) from a wlr_texture.
In wlroots we add comments near struct wl_list members to indicate
which type it's linked to. The Vulkan renderer had some comments
with mistakes, and some members without a comment.
We were crashing in the error codepath [1] when
wlr_drm_create_lease() fails.
To fix this, delay the creation of the wlr_drm_lease_v1 until the
request is granted. Previously we were allocating that struct early
without populating the drm_lease field. However that means we ended
up with a half-constructed struct in the error codepath which is
annoying to handle.

This field becomes stale too easily: for instance, see 6adca4089c
("backend/drm: don't unconditionally set desired_enabled").
Additionally, drm_connector_alloc_crtc() needs to do some weird
dance, restoring its previous value.
Instead, add a connector arg to realloc_crtcs() to indicate a new
connector we want to enable.
When starting up, the compositor might call wlr_output_set_mode()
with a mode which is already the current one. wlroots will detect
this and make the wlr_output_set_mode() call a no-op. During the
next wlr_output_commit() call, wlroots will perform an atomic
commit without the ALLOW_MODESET flag.
This is an issue, because some drivers need ALLOW_MODESET even if
the mode is the same. For instance, if the FB stride or modifier
changed, some drivers require a modeset.
Add a new flag "allow_artifacts" which is set when the compositor
calls mode-setting functions. Use this flag to figure out whether
we want to perform atomic commits with ALLOW_MODESET.
(The name "allow_artifacts" is picked because ALLOW_MODESET is a
misnomer, see [1].)

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3499
Instead of using low-level wl_shm_buffer and wlr_dmabuf_v1_buffer
APIs, use the unified wlr_buffer APIs. That way it doesn't matter
what the exact wlr_buffer implementation is used, any which provides
the necessary capabilities (data_ptr or dmabuf) would work.
Simplifies the logic a bit, and will make the transition to wlr_shm
easier.
CTA-861-H defines a picture aspect ratio which may be attached to
each mode. This affects the way the sink will display the image.
See annexes H.1 and H.2 for examples.
See the spec at [1]. tl;dr EGL has terrible defaults: eglTerminate()
may have side-effects on completely unrelated EGLDisplay objects.
This extension allows us to opt-in to get the sane behavior:
eglTerminate() only free's our own EGLDisplay without affecting
others.
