Emil Velikov b2a0d6065d vfb: add DRI3/glamor support
This commit adds DRI3/glamor support, effectively translating into
hardware GPU support.

Theoretically it should be possible to use DRM/GPU drivers such as
virtio or vgem, although only the intel i915 driver is currently tested.

Since Xvfb does no modeset, it opens the render node. Currently that is
fixed to "/dev/dri/renderD128" and will be tweaked with future commits.

Specific use-cases are left for the reader - testing glamor, GL driver
or others.

v2: Drop GLAMOR_NO_XV, use GLAMOR_FOR_XORG instead (Michel Dänzer)
v3: Fix build w/o glamor
v4:
 - Split out glamor dependency patch for meson (Pekka)
 - Enhance commit message (Pekka)
 - Use O_CLOEXEC with open() (Pekka)
 - Enhance error path, memory leak comments (Pekka)

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
