this situation happened when the last buffer needed to be resized
(or allocated, the first time). the assumption was that the buffer
was in use by SF itself as the current buffer (obviously, this
assumption made no sense when the buffer had never been allocated, btw).
the system would wait until some other buffer became the "front" buffer.
we fix this problem by entirely removing the requirement that the
buffer being resized cannot be the front buffer. instead, we just
allocate a new buffer and replace the front buffer by the new one.
the downside is that this uses more memory (an extra buffer) for a
brief amount of time while the old buffer is being reallocated and
before it has actually been replaced.

Surfaces can now be parcelized and sent to remote
processes. When a surface crosses a process
boundary, it looses its connection with the
current process and gets attached to the new one.

the new native_window_set_buffers_geometry allows
to specify a size and format for all buffers to be
dequeued. the buffer will be scalled to the window's
size.

this method can be used to change the number of buffers
associated to a native window. the default is two.

this change introduces R/W locks in the right places.
on the server-side, it guarantees that setBufferCount()
is synchronized with "retire" and "resize".
on the client-side, it guarantees that setBufferCount()
is synchronized with "dequeue", "lockbuffer" and "queue"
the reason for the above change is that waitForCondition() had become
large over time, mainly to handle error cases, using inlines to
evaluate the condition doesn't buys us much anymore while it increases
code size.

in the undoDequeue() case, 'tail' was recalculated from 'available' and 'head'
however there was a race between this and retireAndLock(), which could cause
'tail' to be recalculated wrongly.
the interesting thing though is that retireAndLock() shouldn't have any impact
on the value of 'tail', which is client-side only attribute.
we fix the race by saving the value of 'tail' before dequeue() and restore it
in the case of undoDequeue(), since we know it doesn't depend on retireAndLock().

also increase the dirtyregion size from 1 to 6 rectangles.
Overall we now need 27KiB process instead of 4KiB
