columbarius 0683f7ca7e screencast: add option to force implicit modifier to be linear
Linear buffer layouts are supported by most gpu vendors and as such
should be compatible in mixed mutli gpu setup where the implicit
modifier of one gpu is not supported by the other.

This option should make xdpw work in these environemnts.

The option is marked as experimental since it might be removed if
explicit modifiers provide a better solution.

columbarius 9d78b21695 screencast: add outputchooser with config option
Supports "dmenu" chooser type, which is called with a dmenu type list
piped to stdin, "simple" type, which recieves nothing on stdin and
default, which tries the hardcoded choosers.
Choosers are required to return the name of the choosen output as given
by the xdg-output protocol.

Thanks to piater for closing overlooked pipes.
Thanks to ericonr for suggestions regarding fork and pipes.

Zsolt Donca ab8ff54f4c Control how many frames are captured per second
The goal is to control the rate of capture while in screencast, as it
can represent a performance issue and can cause input lag and the
feeling of having a laggy mouse.

This commit addresses the issue reported in #66.

The code measures the time elapsed to make a single screen capture, and
calculates how much to wait for the next capture to achieve the targeted
frame rate. To delay the capturing of the next frame, the code
introduces timers into the event loop based on the event loop in
https://github.com/emersion/mako

Added a command-line argument and an entry in the config file as well
for the max FPS. The default value is 0, meaning no rate control.

Added code to measure the average FPS every 5 seconds and print it with
DEBUG level.
