Make sure to not use GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL when it's not supported
by the GL. The error was harmless, but annoying.

this hack was used for gpus that don't support cached buffers
for s/w clients. currently we have no gpu with this issue.
this removes quite a bit of complexity.

We now limit the size of the surface to the maximum size supported by the GPU.
On Nexus One this will 2048 -- it could be different on other devices.
Surface creation fails if the limit is exceeded.

a new method, compostionComplete() is added to the framebuffer hal, it is used by surfaceflinger to signal the driver that the composition is complete, BEFORE it releases its client. This gives a chance to the driver to
ANDROID_swap_rectangle allows to specify the rectangle affected by eglSwapBuffers(), anything outside of this rectangle is unchanged. in particular EGL_BUFFER_DESTROYED only applies to that rectangle. This extension as well as EGL_BUFFER_PRESERVED allow major optimizations on surfaceflinger, which can redraw only the dirty area during compositing.
However, ANDROID_swap_rectangle allows further optimizations in EGL by reducing the amount of copy-back needed. ANDROID_swap_rectangle is particularily important for software implementations.
