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.

We've had this struct for a while. It'd be useful for compositors
if they want to manage the swap chains themselves instead of being
forced to use wlr_output's. Some compositors might also want to use
a swapchain without an output.
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>.
Allow to get whether has alpha channel of the VkImage, it can help an
optimization to disable blending when the texture doesn't have alpha.
Because the VkFormat isn't enough because it's always set to
VK_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_SRGB or VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_SRGB.
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.
This lets the renderer handle the wlr_buffer directly, just like it
does in texture_from_buffer. This also allows the renderer to batch
the rectangle updates, and update more than the damage region if
desirable (e.g. too many rects), so can be more efficient.
Whether a texture is opaque or not doesn't depend on the renderer
at all, it just depends on the source buffer. Instead of forcing
all renderers to implement wlr_texture_impl.is_opaque, let's move
this in common code and use the wlr_buffer format to know whether
a texture will be opaque.
These are trivial wrappers around eglMakeCurrent and
eglGetCurrentContext. Compositors which need to call these
functions will also call other EGL or GL functions anyways. Let's
reduce our API surface a bit by making them private.
This removes an artificial limitation in form of an assert that disallowed the
creation of textures while the renderer is rendering.
A consumer might run its own rendering pipeline and after start of the renderer
still want to create textures for internal usage.
This intersects two DRM format sets. This is useful for implementing
DMA-BUF feedback in compositors, see e.g. the Sway PR [1].
