The backend doesn't need to handle transform changes, since everything is done
in software. In fact, all of the implementations were all identical and just
set the transform.
We could add support for hardware transforms, but:
- This would require a different field (something like hardware_transform)
- Not all combinations are possible because there often are hardware
limitations
- The Wayland protocol isn't ready for this (in particular xdg-output, see [1])
This belongs to a different patch series anyway.

This updates the backend part of the output API. This is mostly renaming:
make_current becomes attach_render and swap_buffers becomes commit.
This also fixes the RDP backend to support NULL damage.
There was a missing copy_drm_surface_mgpu call in drm_connector_schedule_frame
so we asked for a pageflip with an unknown BO, resulting in ENOENT.
Additionally, this commit makes schedule_frame return a bool indicating
failures. This allows schedule_frame_handle_idle_timer to only set
frame_pending to true if a frame has been successfully scheduled. Thus, if a
pageflip fails, rendering won't be blocked forever anymore.
In case a pageflip is already pending, true is returned because a frame has
already been scheduled and will be sent sometime soon.
This desynchronizes our rendering loop with the vblank cycle.
In case a compositor doesn't swap buffers but schedules a frame,
emitting a frame event immediately enters a busy-loop.
Instead, ask the backend to send a frame when appropriate. On
Wayland we can just register a frame callback on our surface. On
DRM we can do a no-op pageflip.

This introduces -DWLR_USE_UNSTABLE and adds information regarding the
stability status to all headers. I started with a conservative set of
headers to mark as stable:
- types/wlr_matrix.h
- util/edges.h
- util/log.h
- util/region.h
- xcursor.h
This changes the `wlr_output_impl.set_cursor` function to take a
`wlr_texture` instead of a byte buffer. This simplifies the
DRM and Wayland backends since they were creating textures from
the byte buffer anyway.
With this commit, performance should be improved when moving the
cursor since outputs don't need to be re-rendered anymore.
This adds back `wlr_output::needs_swap`. This allows a backend to
request buffer swaps even if the output isn't damaged. This is
needed by the DRM backend to trigger pageflips when the cursor
moves.
