Add option to control swapbuffers behavior
Until we get triple buffering, we'll want this so users can avoid taking a performance hit on apps that render slower than the refresh rate. Fixes fdo bug #22234. Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

+.BI "Option \*qSwapbuffersWait\*q \*q" boolean \*q
+This option controls the behavior of glXSwapBuffers and glXCopySubBufferMESA
+calls by GL applications. If enabled, the calls will avoid tearing by making
+sure the display scanline is outside of the area to be copied before the copy
+occurs. If disabled, no scanline synchronization is performed, meaning tearing
+will likely occur. Note that when enabled, this option can adversely affect
+the framerate of applications that render frames at less than refresh rate.
