Bail out earlier for the uninteresting types of DRI2 buffer
requests (by just returning a dummy null UMP buffer). Makes
the code a bit more simple on the common path.

Using the secure id 1 (framebuffer) to trick the Mali blob into
requesting DRI2 buffers again was not a very good idea. The problem
is that the blob still writes something there and corrupts the
framebuffer. So instead we try to assign secure id 2 to a dummy
4KiB UMP buffer allocated in memory and use it for the same purpose.

The Mali blob is doing something like this:

 1. Request BackLeft DRI2 buffer (buffer A) and render to it
 2. Swap buffers
 3. Request BackLeft DRI2 buffer (buffer B)
 4. Check window size, and if it has changed - go back to step 1.
 5. Render to the current back buffer (either buffer A or B)
 6. Swap buffers
 7. Go back to step 4

A very serious show stopper problem is that the Mali blob ignores
DRI2-InvalidateBuffers events and just uses GetGeometry polling
to check whether the window size has changed. Unfortunately this
is racy and we may end up with a size mismatch between buffer A
and buffer B. This is particularly easy to trigger when the window
size changes exactly between steps 1 and 3.

See test/gles-yellow-blue-flip.c program which demonstrates this.
Qt5 applications also trigger this bug.

We workaround the issue by explicitly tracking the requests for
BackLeft buffers and checking whether the sizes of these buffers
match at step 1 and step 3. However the real challenge here is
notifying the client application that these buffers are no good,
so that it can request them again. As DRI2-InvalidateBuffers
events are ignored, we are in a pretty difficult situation.
Fortunately I remembered a weird behaviour observed earlier:

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/linux-sunxi/qnxpVaqp1Ys/aVTq09DVih0J



Actually if we return UMP secure ID value 1 for the second DRI2
buffer request, the blob responds to this by spitting out the
following error message:

    [EGL-X11] [2274] DETECTED ONLY ONE FRAMEBUFFER - FORCING A RESIZE
    [EGL-X11] [2274] DRI2 UMP ID 0x3 retrieved
    [EGL-X11] [2274] DRI2 WINDOW UMP SECURE ID CHANGED (0x3 -> 0x3)

And then it proceeds by re-trying to request a pair of DRI2 buffers.
But that's exactly the behaviour we want! As a down side, some ugly
flashing can be seen on screen at the time when this workaround kicks
in, but then everything normalizes. And unfortunately, the race
condition is still not totally eliminated because the blob is
apparently getting DRI2 buffer sizes from the separate GetGeometry
requests instead of using the information provided by DRI2GetBuffers.
But now the problem is at least very hard to trigger.

The modern desktops may use ARGB cursors. As the current
sunxi display controller support code can't handle this
type of cursor yet, the X server fallbacks to a software
cursor which is not visible under layers and ruining user
experience.

This patch adds empty implementations for "UseHWCursorARGB"
and "LoadCursorARGB" functions which just return error for
now (so that the X server still fallbacks to software cursor).
However we also introduce callback functions responsible for
notifying the DRI2 code about enabling/disabling the use of
hardware cursor. So that now hardware overlays are disabled
when switching to software cursor and re-enabled again when
switching back to hardware cursor.

Testing with gnome-shell revealed a problem. We need to migrate
pixmaps into UMP buffers in order to allow the GLESv2 based
compositing manager to actually access the content of redirected
windows, rendered by X11 applications into offscreen pixmaps.

Just to make sure that we don't add any unneeded overhead for 2D
(neither extra CPU cycles nor the increase for unrelated pixmaps
memory footprint), a hash table (currently uthash [1]) is used
for connecting DRI2-enabled pixmaps with UMP buffers. The lookups
are only performed on DRI2 buffer creation and pixmap destruction.

The driver can use sunxi display controller layers for fully visible
windows, avoiding expensive memory copy.
