Part of the long running effort to reduce the prevalence of `session_t`.
After this, functions that communicate with X can make use of the error
handling machinary (set_ignore_cookie, set_cant_fail_cookie) without
needing to take a `session_t` parameter.
This commit converts everything to use the new struct `x_connection`,
most of the conversions are mechanical.

Use frame timing and render time statistic to pace frames.
Right now the criteria are simple:
* Don't render multiple frames in one vblank cycle. Otherwise the
rendered frame will be delay multiple cycles, which isn't ideal.
* Start rendering as late as possible while still hitting vblank.
Refresh rate is estimated from a rolling average of frame timing. Render
time is predicted from the rolling maximum of past 128 frames. The
window size still needs to be investigated.
Remove glFinish calls and GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1, frame pacing superseeds
them.
Professionals might laugh at how rudimentary this is, but hopefully this
is better than what we had before. Which is absolutely nothing at all.

Users with an old EGL version won't be able to use the egl backend. OTOH
we shouldn't prevent them from running picom because of a feature they
won't even use.
Don't assume the existence of EGL 1.5 symbols.
Fixes#945

This needs the EGL_KHR_image_pixmap and the GL_EXT_EGL_image_storage
extensions, which unfortunately aren't available on NVIDIA cards.
Don't add documentation for these, for now.
