dri: Enable triple-bufferred pageflips

By popular demand.

Triple-buffering trade-offs output latency versus jitter. By having a
pre-rendered frame ready to swap in following a pageflip, we avoid the
scenario where the latency between receiving the flip complete signal
from the kernel, waking up the vsynced application, it render the new
frame and then for the server to process the swap request is greater
than the frame interval, causing us to miss the vblank. The result is
that application can become frame-locked to 30fps. Instead, we report to
the application that the first frame swap is immediately completed,
supply a new back buffer (or else the rendering would be blocked on
waiting for the front-buffer to be swapped away from the scanout) and
let them proceed to render the second frame. The second frame is added
to the swap queue, and the client throttled to vrefresh. (If the client
missed the vblank, the swap queue is empty and the client is immediately
woken again, whilst the pageflip is pending.)

Note, for practical reasons this only applies to page-flipping, for
example, calls to glXSwapBuffer() on fullscreen applications.

+This option enables the use of a third buffer for page-flipping. The third
+buffer allows applications to run at vrefresh rates even if they occasionally
+fail to swapbuffers on time. The effect of such missed swaps is the output
+jitters between 60fps and 30fps, and in the worst case appears frame-locked
