Based on five calls:
wlr_render_timer_create - creates a timer which can be reused across
frames on the same renderer
wlr_renderer_begin_buffer_pass - now takes a timer so that backends can
record when the rendering starts and finishes
wlr_render_timer_get_time - should be called as late as possible so that
queries can make their way back from the GPU
wlr_render_timer_destroy - self-explanatory
The timer is exposed as an opaque `struct wlr_render_timer` so that
backends can store whatever they want in there.
Goals:
- Extensibility: we need to be able to add new params to the calls
to render a texture/rect. For instance we'll need to add fences to
the render texture operation for explicit sync purposes.
- No implicit state: no more bind_buffer, begin, end.
- No matrices: these hurt Pixman and we don't need them.
- Clip regions for optimized damage repainting.

Let's just forward-declare struct wlr_backend instead.
We need to fixup the Vulkan renderer: it needs makedev(), which
got included by chance via <wlr/backend.h> → <wlr/backend/session.h>
→ <libudev.h>.
Everything needs to go through the unified wlr_buffer interface
now.
If necessary, there are two ways support for
EGL_WL_bind_wayland_display could be restored by compositors:
- Either by using GBM to convert back EGL Wayland buffers to
DMA-BUFs, then wrap the DMA-BUF into a wlr_buffer.
- Or by wrapping the EGL Wayland buffer into a special wlr_buffer
that doesn't implement any wlr_buffer_impl hook, and special-case
that buffer type in the renderer.
This allows compositors to choose a wlr_buffer to render to. This
is a less awkward interface than having to call bind_buffer() before
and after begin() and end().

Rename wlr_renderer_get_dmabuf_formats to
wlr_renderer_get_dmabuf_texture_formats. This makes it clear the formats
are only suitable for creating wlr_textures.
This makes it easier for the user of this library to properly handle
failure of this function.
The signature of wlr_renderer_impl.init_wl_display was also modified to
allow for proper error propagation.
Add a wlr_renderer.rendering bool, set it to true between
wlr_renderer_begin() and wlr_renderer_end(). Assert we're rendering when
calling functions that render.
The read format is dependent on the output, so we first need to make it
current. This fixes a race condition in wlr-screencopy-v1 where a dmabuf
client would cause EGL_NO_SURFACE to be bound at the time when
screencopy needs to query for the preferred format, causing GL errors.
We were assuming GL_BGRA_EXT was always supported.
We now check that it's supported for rendering. We fail if it isn't because
this format is specified as "always supported" by the Wayland protocol.
We also check if it's supported for reading pixels. A new preferred_read_format
function returns the preferred format that can be used to read pixels. This is
used by the screencopy protocol.
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
Compositors now have more control over how the backend creates its
renderer. Currently all backends create an EGL/GLES2 renderer, so
the necessary attributes for creating the context are passed to a
user-provided callback function. It is responsible for initializing
provided wlr_egl and to return a renderer. On fail, return 0.
