After a HWC set, each SurfaceFlinger Layer retrieves the release fence
HWC returned and gives it to the layer's SurfaceTexture. The
SurfaceTexture accumulates the fences into a merged fence until the
next updateTexImage, then passes the merged fence to the BufferQueue
in releaseBuffer.
In a follow-on change, BufferQueue will return the fence along with
the buffer slot in dequeueBuffer. For now, dequeueBuffer waits for the
fence to signal before returning.
The releaseFence default value for BufferQueue::releaseBuffer() is
temporary to avoid transient build breaks with a multi-project
checkin. It'll disappear in the next change.

Aimed for use cases where gralloc buffers need to be consumed by CPU
users, such as camera image data streams.
The CpuConsumer is a synchronous queue, which exposes raw pointers to
the underlying graphics buffers to applications. Multiple buffers may
be acquired at once, up to the limit set at time of construction.
