Allow toggling TearFree at runtime via output property
Option "TearFree" now sets the default value of the output property. See the manpage update for details. TearFree is now enabled by default for outputs using rotation or other RandR transforms, and for RandR 1.4 slave outputs. Reviewed-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
