ddx/ati: Add option "SwapbuffersWait" to control vsync of DRI2 swaps.
A new optional kms driver option "SwapbuffersWait" is defined for xorg.conf, which defaults to "on". If "on", DRI2 bufferswaps will be synchronized to vsync, otherwise not. This currently only affects copy-swaps, not pageflipped swaps. It also requires a swap_interval setting of zero by the OpenGL client. Ideally, we'd provide a way for dri2 to pass the current swap interval to the ddx so we could change this dynamically. Signed-off-by: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner@tuebingen.mpg.de>

+This option controls the behavior of glXSwapBuffers and glXCopySubBufferMESA
+calls by GL applications. If enabled, the calls will avoid tearing by making
+sure the display scanline is outside of the area to be copied before the copy
+occurs. If disabled, no scanline synchronization is performed, meaning tearing
+will likely occur. Note that when enabled, this option can adversely affect
